Summary0010627: Additional functionality for find data
DescriptionThe Edit/ Find data command is a fabulous tool. However, it really needs a few more features.

* Checkbox that turns text on or off on the cell or point on the 3d view. Include the ability to display multiple pieces of data, such as cell global Id and temperature.
* Ability for the user to select (using the mouse or p key) on a cell or point, and have the data display. I.e., merging of the spreadsheet view (where you select data with a mouse) and the find data query results (where you select data with a keyboard).
* Allow the user to keep this dialog box up, and be able to interact with ParaView. This dialog should not be forced to close between uses.
* <<This one is manditory, and very important>> The ability to find the min and/or max variable, along with cell number, at a time step. Mean would be really nice to have also.
* Be able to take this min and/or max and display it in tabular format. Allow it to be 2d plotted. Allow it to be written out as a CSV file.
* Be able to plot/display/output all variables for these cells at a time.

<Usecase> I have a user that has a dataset that is in 512 files, and has to run on 8-32 cores/pvservers. His data has 800 timesteps, and 8 blocks. Within this data, he needs a .csv file output with the cell number, stress, pressure and temperature at the MAXIMUM temperature cell in each time step.

* Included - screenshot from the EnSight Select (They call it a Query) command. Notice the many, many ways they can do the query. Min, max, cursor, cell, or location. Notice that it is all in one place, on one screen.

* Included - screenshot from the EnSight Find data/ spreadsheet/ 2d plot command (don't ask, they call it Query under Plots). Takeaway here is that a user can plot the maximum temperature, etc, and also output the table of this data for all timesteps.

This is sort of the parent of numerous important bugs. Thus, I am marking as todo.

Resolving this since we have addressed several of these issues and those that were not addressed are opened up as separate issues.
