[Paraview] XML PLUGIN RELATIVE PATH

[Mathieu Westphal]

Hi Miguel

When using the Python Programmble Filter, the current directory is the one
you have run ParaView from.
You can use relative directory to this one, if that helps you, but I would
not recommend it.

There is currently no way to have a relative path to the xml plugin
directory in the default values of a xml property.

I would simply recommend to put the content of "MY_PLUGIN.py" in the xml of
your plugin.

Best,

Mathieu Westphal
