[Paraview] AddArray does not influence the GUI

[David E DeMarle]

When you fetch you are making a copy of the data on the client. Changing
that copy doesn't affect the original which may exist only on a remote
machine (or machines).

Use the python programmable filter instead, or go through the proxy layer.
In either case you will be affecting the original.
