[Paraview] xml keywords

[Cory Quammen]

Felipe,

Unfortunately, there is no one place that documents all the XML
elements and attributes. There is some documentation on property
attributes in [1], but I'm not sure this is an exhaustive list. Your
user is doing one of the most effective things already, looking for
desired functionality in an existing source/filter and looking at how
it is done in the .xml files.

Digging deeper, one can view the code in the methods ReadXMLAttributes
in the various vtkSM*Proxy classes in ParaView, e.g.,
vtkSMProxy::ReadXMLAttributes [2]., to understand which attributes are
available in different proxies.

Hope that helps,
Cory
