[Paraview] Custom filter: exposed properties of a Calculator filter

Jean-Michel,

Thank you for clarifying, I think I understand now. So you see the
calculator buttons and text field for entering the expression? And you want
the name of the property to appear in the label?

For this property, a custom widget is used in the Properties panel that
does not display the property name. Hence, the property name does not show
up. I see that in 3.14 the Function is displayed with a simple text field -
you don't get the calculator buttons.

We'd have to change the custom widget to display the property name. This
would be a relatively simple change that I could walk you through if you'd
like to contribute to the ParaView source code.

Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks,
Cory
