r"""servermanager is a module for using paraview server manager in Python.
One can always use the server manager API directly. However, this module
provides an interface easier to use from Python by wrapping several VTK
classes around Python classes.

Note that, upon load, this module will create several sub-modules: sources,
filters and rendering. These modules can be used to instantiate specific
proxy types. For a list, try "dir(servermanager.sources)"

A simple example:
  from paraview.servermanager import *
  
  # Creates a new built-in connection and makes it the active connection.
  Connect()

  # Creates a new render view on the active connection.
  renModule = CreateRenderView()

  # Create a new sphere proxy on the active connection and register it
  # in the sources group.
  sphere = sources.SphereSource(registrationGroup="sources", ThetaResolution=16, PhiResolution=32)

  # Create a representation for the sphere proxy and adds it to the render
  # module.
  display = CreateRepresentation(sphere, renModule)

  renModule.StillRender()

class Proxy(object):
    """
    Proxy wrapper. Makes it easier to set/get properties on a proxy.
    Instead of:
     proxy.GetProperty("Foo").SetElement(0, 1)
     proxy.GetProperty("Foo").SetElement(0, 2)
    you can do:
     proxy.Foo = (1,2)
    or
     proxy.Foo.SetData((1,2))
    or
     proxy.Foo[0:2] = (1,2)
    Instead of:
      proxy.GetPropery("Foo").GetElement(0)
    you can do:
      proxy.Foo.GetData()[0]
    or
      proxy.Foo[0]
    For proxy properties, you can use append:
     proxy.GetProperty("Bar").AddProxy(foo)
    you can do:
     proxy.Bar.append(foo)
    Properties support most of the list API. See VectorProperty and
    ProxyProperty documentation for details.

    This class also provides an iterator which can be used to iterate
    over all properties.
    eg:
      proxy = Proxy(proxy=smproxy)
      for property in proxy:
          print property

    Please note that some of the methods accessible through the Proxy
    class are not listed by help() because the Proxy objects forward
    unresolved attributes to the underlying object. To get the full list,
    see also dir(proxy.SMProxy). See also the doxygen based documentation
    of the vtkSMProxy C++ class.
