Summary

0013901: Allow 2d plots to remember previous settings (if applicable).

Description

There are some viz sessions that show a need to have 2d plots remember previous settings, or the ability to copy state from one 2d window to another. For instance,

Linux, 3.98.1, local server.
* Open particles.h5part. (Dataset is 2d-plot-bug-datasets, ask me for this dataset.)
* Turn only type, vx, x, y and z on. Set Xarray to x, Yarray to y, and Zarray to z. Apply.

* Threshold filter. Threshold on type, lower and upper bounds == 1. Apply.
* Plot Data. Apply. Turn all variables off, then only turn on vx. Change X Zxis Data to "Use Data Array", == x. Highlight the vx variable, set line style to none, marker style to plus. Change color to black. View Options, Specify axis range explicitly, min/max to -1000 and 1000. Apply.

* Now, repeat the previous two bullets 2 more times. All three resultant 2d views are as follows:
-- threshold type 1, black (this one was created in the paragraph above).
-- threshold type 3, blue (color defaults to blue, OK).
-- threshold type 2, another color (Color needs changing again).

* Now, read in the dataset output.e.2.[0-1]. (Dataset is 2d-plot-bug-datasets, ask me for this dataset.)
* Plot over line. We would like to show log plots of n(Cu), n(Cup) and n(em), but there is a bug. We will display V instead. Specify axis range explicitly to 0, 150.
* Now, delete all of the 3d views, and stack the four 2d views vertically on top of each other.

See the png file phase_portraits _and_V.png (ask me for this .png).

My user creates numerous of these plots per day.

>> The goal of this feature request is to create state settings or tools that are more efficient when setting up numerous 2d plots.
