Filters renaming and categories update
Rename some filters to give them a more concise, meaningful name. Create new categories.
Filters renaming
At some point, we probably should update/create some guideline on how to name a proxy/filter.
For each filter renamed, the following files should be updated:
-
*.xml
: the servermanager file declaring the proxy. This should keep a deprecated version with the previous name, inheriting the new. -
ParaViewFilters.xml
: to expose new proxy in ParaView GUI. -
vtkSMStateVersionController.cxx
for pvsm backward compatibility. It uses proxy name. -
_backwardscompatibilityhelper.py
for python backward compatibility. It uses proxy label. -
proxy-deprecation.md
to document the change in release note -
Testing/*.xml
(opt): the XML test(s) using this proxy
