ParaViewWeb is a collection of components that enables the use of ParaView's visualization and data analysis capabilities within Web applications.
On top of that additional informations on the applications are available here:


Using the latest HTML 5.0 based technologies, such as WebSocket, and WebGL, ParaViewWeb enables communiation with a ParaView server runnning on a remote visualization node or cluster using a light-weight JavaScript API. Using this API, Web applications can easily embed interactive 3D visualization components. Application developers can write simple Python scripts to extend the server capabilities including creating custom visualization pipelines.

More samples and tutorials are forthcoming. In the mean time, one can access the JavaScript and Python API documentation on[http://www.paraview.org/paraview/help/api-documentation.html ParaView website].
 
==Getting Started==
 
More detailed documentation and tutorials will be available soon. Until then, here's how to start a simple local web-server to open data files using ParaView 4.0 binaries.
More informations can also be found here:
* http://www.paraview.org/ParaView3/Doc/Nightly/www/js-doc/index.html
* http://www.paraview.org/ParaView3/Doc/Nightly/www/py-doc/index.html
 
===Starting the web-server===
 
====Linux====
 
<source lang="bash">
> cd $PARAVIEW_ROOT
> ./bin/pvpython lib/paraview-4.0/site-packages/paraview/pipeline_manager.py --content www --port 8080 --data-dir $PARAVIEW_DATA
</source>
 
where:
* '''$PARAVIEW_ROOT''' points to path where the ParaView tarball was extracted.
* '''$PARAVIEW_DATA''' is path to directory containing data files to test '''(without trailing "/")'''
 
====OsX====
 
<source lang="bash">
> cd $PARAVIEW_ROOT/Contents
> ./bin/pvpython Python/paraview/pipeline_manager.py --content www --port 8080 --data-dir $PARAVIEW_DATA
</source>
 
====Windows====
 
===Starting the client===
 
Once the server has started, simply point your web-browser to http://localhost:8080/apps/WebVisualizer/
