[Paraview] mouse interaction when scripting python

[pat marion]

Paraview python scripting has the concept of active objects and active
views.  At the python console, type 'help(Show)' and you'll see that it
takes optional object and view arguments.  If the arguments are not
specified it uses the 'active' object and view.  When you create a view
(CreateRenderView()) or create an object (Sphere()) they become the active
objects.  The active object concept is explained on the python scripting
wiki page.
