[Paraview] Filter with Personalized "Properties" tab

[Moreland, Kenneth]

You can customize the GUI somewhat by modifying the server manager XML that
describes your filter.  For example, you can create a combo box in the GUI
by adding an EnumerationDomain to an IntVectorProperty or you could create a
checkbox by adding a BooleanDomain.

You can also create your own properties panel using Qt code.  The wiki page
on ParaView plugins has a simple example of customizing the auto-generated
panel.  You can provide even more customization (for example, by using your
own panel created in Qt Designer) by subclassing either pqNamedObjectPanel
or pqObjectPanel.
