[Paraview] Calculator Filter

[Paul Edwards]

You won't be able to use the calculator to rename it but you can use a
Programmable Filter:

input = self.GetPolyDataInput()

output = self.GetPolyDataOutput()

 output.ShallowCopy(input)

 output.GetPointData().GetArray("2DVEL_X").SetName("SomethingElse")


Regards,
Paul
