look at all the examples in your GUI/Client/Resources directory in 
ParaView. Look at the file called Filters.xml

For example:

     <Filter class="vtkAllToNRedistributePolyData">
       <Input name="Input"
              class="vtkPolyData"/>
     </Filter>

That is the way to specify that your filter requires a vtkPolyData input.

If you do step 1 above and if ParaView loads your XML file, then your 
filter becomes available in the Filters list. Select your vtkPolyData 
and apply your filter to it just like you would do any other Filter.


P.S. No need to send me a personnal mail. I receive both vtk and 
paraview mailing lists.
