I added a facility for calculating min, max and sum of attribute values in vtkMinMax.cxx and for returning the result to the client via a paraview.fetch(), a python function. To do the parallel aggregation vtkReductionFilter tells each node to execute vtkMinMax to produce a per node min/max/sum, and then gathers the results to the root node and executes vtkMinMax again to produce a global min/max/sum.

Question 1: Do we want to make these general gather and aggregate operations available in the GUI, or are they solely meant for scripted applications?

For min/max/sum we have to execute vtkMinMax on the per node results to get a global result. However the default gather operation for the paraview GUI is to simply concatenate all per node results. For this reason vtkMinMax is not available from the GUI.

Question 1: Min/max/sum of attribute values is a very simple type of aggregation - it simply discards all geometry and aggregates the data values. What type of geometric aggregation do we need and for what data types?

The current implementation seems to solve our current PGraph and Python scripting needs. As more use cases come up, we will generate new items in this tracker.
