// .NAME vtkSMDomain - represents the possible values a property can have
// .SECTION Description
//
// vtkSMDomain is an abstract class that describes the "domain" of a
// a widget. A domain is a collection of possible values a property
// can have.
//
// Each domain can depend on one or more properties to compute it's
// values. This are called "required" properties and can be set in
// the XML configuration file.
//
// Every time a domain changes it must fire a vtkCommand::DomainModifiedEvent.
// Applications may decide to update the UI every-time the domain changes. As a
// result, domains ideally should only fire that event when their values change
// for real not just potentially changed.

  // Description:
  // A vtkSMProperty is often defined with a default value in the
  // XML itself. However, many times, the default value must be determined
  // at run time. To facilitate this, domains can override this method
  // to compute and set the default value for the property.
  // Note that unlike the compile-time default values, the
  // application must explicitly call this method to initialize the
  // property.

  // Description:
  // Load the state of the domain from the XML.
  // Subclasses generally have no need to load XML state. In fact, serialization
  // of state for domains, in general, is unnecessary for two reasons:
  // 1. domains whose values are defined in XML will be populated from the
  // configuration xml anyways.
  // 2. domains whose values depend on data (at runtime) will be repopulated
  // with data values when the XML state is loaded.
  // The only exception to this rule is vtkSMProxyListDomain (presently).
  // vtkSMProxyListDomain needs to try to restore proxies (with proper ids) for
  // the domain.

  // added as a required property, vtkSMDomain::Update(prop) will also be called
  // the vtkCommand::UpdateDataEvent is fired by the proxies contained in that
