[Paraview] Filter with Personalized "Properties" tab

[Samuel Crow]

Hello Rafael March,

If you have the ParaView Guide version 3 I've found chapter 18 on Server Manager XML to be a good reference to all of the different tags that are supported.  I haven't even had to write a custom GUI panel since the default gadgets work well enough for most instances.

What kinds of gadgets are you using in your panel?
