[Paraview] Access to the renderer

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

The short answer is you cannot do it. In ParaView logically filters
are on data-server and renderers are on render-server. The
abstractions provided by ParaView hide these components so that such
things are very difficult to do.

For the longer answer, it'd help if you can describe why you want to
call "select visible points" in your filter?
