[Paraview] User arguments & the programmable filter

[Felipe Bordeu]

Hello,

I also test all my 'codes' in the programmable filter first.
To deploy a filter I put the filter body inside a python file. Then in  
the programable filter I put:

input_file='hello'
output_file='bye.log'
execfile('my_custom_filter.py')

And finally I create a custom filter 'Tools->Create Custom Filter'  
with the right name and I expose only the 'script' property.

at the end, the user has a filter in the filter menu, and only has to  
change the filename. (all the other properties are hidden).

And if you work in a centralized environment, you can make upgrades to  
the python file without redeploying your solution.

I hope It will help you.

Felipe
