the classes from a wrapped language, nor have I written any tests. I will
see if I can put together a Python test in the near future as that is the
wrapped language I am most familiar with.

I will be writing more about this as I get features committed. I was very
pleased on Friday afternoon to have panning and zooming working in the
ParaView chart pane using this work. Once I track down a memory leak and
finish off the settings proxies I will commit my work in ParaView too.
