Hi,
Is there a functionality to print the fps on screen?
I found this vtk plugin:
[https://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/Utilities/FrameRate](https://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/Utilities/FrameRate)
I just want to be sure that this idea will work, or if maybe the ui appilcation already has this option that needs to be activaed.
Thanks.

Edit -\> Settings -\> Render View -\> Click on cogwheel to show advanced options
Scroll down to the bottom to find Miscellaneous -\> Show Annotation

Also, the example you linked is a nice one, but not needed in ParaView.
