[Paraview-developers] Access to the color legend and its modification

Thank you, Utkarsh.
I already resolved this problem yesterday.

I have registered my widget:
ADD_PARAVIEW_PROPERTY_GROUP_WIDGET(IFACES1 IFACE_SRC1
    TYPE "ColorEditor"
    CLASS_NAME pqExtraColorEditorPropertyWidget
    )
How should I initialize the property group and property widget in
representation of server manager XML?

Are there any examples that utilize a similar logic.

How can I add a property widget to the property group? (via XML or on the
level of propertyWidget class)

At the moment I did the following:
<ProxyGroup name="representations">
    <RepresentationProxy name="MyRepresentation"
                         class="vtkPVMyRepresentation"
                         processes="client|renderserver|dataserver"
                         base_proxygroup="representations"
                         base_proxyname="SurfaceRepresentation">
      <Property name="Annotation"
                label="Annotation"
                command="Annotate"
                panel_widget="AnnotationButton">
      </Property>
    </RepresentationProxy>

    <Extension name="UnstructuredGridRepresentation">
      <RepresentationType subproxy="MyRepresentation"
                          subtype="Surface"
                          text="Annotation" />
      <SubProxy>
        <Proxy name="MyRepresentation"
               proxygroup="representations"
               proxyname="MyRepresentation">
        </Proxy>
        <ShareProperties subproxy="SurfaceRepresentation">
          <Exception name="Input" />
          <Exception name="Visibility" />
          <Exception name="Representation" />
        </ShareProperties>
        <ExposedProperties>
          <PropertyGroup panel_visibility="default"
panel_widget="ColorEditor" label="Coloring">
            <Property name="Ambient" />
            <Property name="AmbientColor" />
            <Property name="ColorArrayName" />
            <Property name="Diffuse" />
            <Property name="DiffuseColor" />
            <Property name="LookupTable" />
            <Property name="AnnotationGroups" />
          </PropertyGroup>
        </ExposedProperties>
      </SubProxy>
    </Extension>
  </ProxyGroup>

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks,
Maxim
