Summary0009958: Clip filter not updating when ClipType changed in Python
DescriptionWhen creating and editing a clip filter in Python, the filter does not update properly after the ClipType is changed. To replicate, enter the following script in the Python shell.

wavelet = Wavelet()
clip = Clip()
clip.InsideOut = 1
clip.ClipType = "Box"
clip.ClipType.Scale = [0.5,0.5,0.5]
Show()
Render()

At this point the filters should all be executed and updated. However, the output of the clip filter is empty.

Ok, I figured out the problem. By default the clip box's bounds is set to (0,1,0,1,01), which you may notice after clip.ClipType = "Box", and "clip.ClipType.Scale = [0.5,0.5,0.5]" will make the bounds become (0,0.5,0,0.5,0, 0.5), therefore the output of clip is empty as expected, because it only considers point (0,0,0) is inside. If you add "clip.Crinkleclip = 1", you can see some cells.

If you do "clip.ClipType.Bounds = [-5.0, 5.0, -5.0, 5.0, -5.0, 5.0]", instead of "clip.ClipType.Scale = [0.5,0.5,0.5]", the output will be correct. In summary, when running from python, the clip box's bounds needs to be explicitly set currently, just like the radius of clip-with-sphere, in this case we can say this bug is a user error. However, the other (ideal) option will be using the bounds of input data for the clip-box's bounds or clip-sphere's radius (just like doing it from GUI). I will let you guys decide how I should proceed from here.

To really fix this, more work needs to be planned. For now, put it in to-do list.
