[Paraview] Filter with variable outputs as plugin

[Joachim Pouderoux]

Hi Gerald,

To give a name to the different ports of your filter in ParaView, you need
to add some "OutputPort" hints to the definition of your filter's proxy.

<SourceProxy class="..." ...>
...
  <Hints>
    <OutputPort index="0" name="*My Output 0*"/>
    <OutputPort index="1" name="*My Output 1*"/>
    <OutputPort index="2" name="*My Output 2*"/>
     ...
  </Hint>
</SourceProxy>

Best,
Joachim
