[Paraview] Custom Filters MENU

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

What I mean by a plugin for a custom filter, is almost like a new
plugin for a filter with the servermanager xml and the gui xmls
however, instead of a new filter, the servermanager xml will inlcude
the custom filter definition. Having said that, it may a good feature
request to add support for specifying filter menu category in cpd
files. Please feel free to add a feature request to the bug tracker.
