Hi,  
I wrote a code for a gui with pyqt, I want to show the results in a widget. But the paraview code opens its own separate window.  
For example:  
#------------------------  
from paraview.simple import \*  
Sphere()  
Show()  
Render()  
#------------------------  
opens a new window and shows the sphere in it.  
How can I tell it to open it in a canvas in my gui?

As you can see the paraview result is in a complete separate window, instead of being in the main window (MeshVisual example)
