// .NAME vtkSMProxyProperty - property representing pointer(s) to vtkObject(s)
// .SECTION Description
// vtkSMProxyProperty is a concrete sub-class of vtkSMProperty representing
// pointer(s) to vtkObject(s) (through vtkSMProxy).
//
// Besides the standard set of attributes, the following XML attributes are
// supported:
// \li command : identifies the method to call on the VTK object e.g.
// AddRepresentation.
// \li clean_command : if present, called once before invoking the method
// specified by \c command every time the property value is pushed e.g.
// RemoveAllRepresentations. If property
// can take multiple values then the \c command is called for for each of the
// values after the clean command for every push.
// \li remove_command : an alternative to clean_command where instead of
// resetting and adding all the values for every push, this simply calls the
// specified method to remove the vtk-objects no longer referred to e.g.
// RemoveRepresentation.
// \li argument_type : identifies the type for value passed to the method on the
// VTK object. Accepted values are "VTK", "SMProxy" or "SIProxy". Default is
// VTK.
// \li null_on_empty : if set to 1, whenever the property's value changes to
// empty i.e. it contains no proxies, the command is called on the VTK object
// with NULL argument useful when there's no clean_command that can be called on
// the VTK object to unset the property e.g. SetLookupTable(NULL).
// li skip_dependency : if set to 1, this property does not result in adding a
// dependency between the proxies set as values of this property and the proxy
// to which the property belongs (which is the default behaviour). Use this with
// care as it would mean that ParaView would no realize any updates are needed
// to the pipeline if any proxy set on the property changes. This is necessary
// in some cases, e.g. if LUT proxy on a representation changes, we don't want
// to representation to treat it same as if the input pipeline changed!

  // (if modify is false). This is commonly used when ImmediateUpdate
  // is true but it is more efficient to avoid calling Update until
  // the last proxy is added. To do this, add all proxies with modify=false
  // and call Modified after the last.
  // This will perform domain checking. If the domain check fails,
  // the proxy will not be added and 0 will be returned.
