Thanks Luigi.

I have managed to make it work.

If I have time I will work on the reverse calibration process (from local to implied) and try to contribute it.

 

BTW, the access to the local volatility is really slow. The performance are not so good with the by default diffusion process.

I have my own parametric local vol, but have you noticed this before?

It's not possible with the current implementation. You'll have to patch
the GeneralizedBlackScholesProcess class.
