How to know the xml_group and xml_name known to the proxy manager

To iterate over all proxy definitions known to the proxy manager, one can use the definition_iter() method. eg. to iterate over all know types of filters:

for definition in paraview.pyProxyManager().definition_iter(): 
  print "%s : %s" % (definition["group"], definition["key"])

To have xml_names of a xml_group, specify the group in definition_iter()

for definition in paraview.pyProxyManager().definition_iter("filters"): 
  print "%s : %s" % (definition["group"], definition["key"])

Note that the definition iterator returns a dict with two keys: group and key. The value of group is the definitions group name while that of key is the definitions proxy type name.

This code prints the next section:

res = set()
for definition in paraview.pyProxyManager().definition_iter():
  res = res.union([definition["group"]])
groups=list(res)
groups.sort()
for group in groups:
  print "\n===%s===\n" % group
  for definition in paraview.pyProxyManager().definition_iter(group):
    print "* %s" % definition["key"]

xml_groups and xml_names
