* Color by Temp.
* Python shell. Trace. Start Trace.
* Clip, Accept, turn Show Plane off.

<<The colors in the middle of the object, colored by Temp, have turned to solid blue. Open the Color Editor. The Color Scale has changed to something crazy.>>

The Clip filter by default uses the same LUT as used by the reader for coloring Temp when created through GUI. The trace records the setting up of array to color with, but does not include setting of the LUT (since there's no SM level LUT manager that it can go to. Hence, when the trace is played back, the mapper simply uses a default LUT which is bogus.

The trace was not handling it correctly when recording
setting of an already existing LookupTable. Added a new GetLookupTableForArray
function to simple that uses the array name to locate/create lookup tables
similar to the GUI.

As far as the status of the "Show Plane" check is concerned, it's not possible to control Show Plane through python at all since all the 3D widgets are GUI components and are not accessible through python or batch and the like. Hence the state does not note the change in the status of "Show Plane".

Nope, not quite. Now, when I do the steps listed, the whole toolbar for the representation and color selection go gray, and I cannot get them back. Furthermore, it shows that the color is grey. Last, the show plane tool is back on.

If you select disk_out_ref, then go back to the clip, we at least have the toolbar back, but a user shouldn't have to do that.

When representation was created through python, the GUI would not realize
that the representation has been created since the pqActiveObjects instance
didn't fire the active representation changed signal. Fixed that.

Handling color is now correct.

I will accept the explanation with regards to the Show Plane tool (grumble).

Tested local server, trunk, linux.
