Summary0014225: Line Chart Interaction: Toggle Selection should be Replace Selection
DescriptionThere are a whole lot of things wrong with the interaction in line charts, which is going to be embarrassing when they are brought up in the ParaView tutorial.

The behavior of Toggle Selection is confusing and appears inconstant. I observe all of the following using a Plot Over Line on a Wavelet source.

* If you highlight a region that has no selected points, those points become selected.
* If you highlight a region that has both selected and unselected points, the points that were not selected become selected except the ones that were selected become unselected, along with those outside the highlight.
* If you highlight a region with no points, nothing happens.
* If you highlight a region with only selected points, nothing happens.

(Note that this bug, in conjunction with 0014224 conspire to make it practically impossible to clear out a selection on a line chart.)

The way this selection should work is that the selection gets replaced with any points that get highlighted. If a region with no points gets highlighted, then the selection should be cleared. This is consistent with how selection works in 3D views. In fact, I would probably advocate removing all other selection types and exclusively support a replace selection mechanism.

 commit d09ef6282db175c1e0fe11296b24119bdd6354d7
Author: Utkarsh Ayachit <utkarsh.ayachit@kitware.com>

    Fixes issue with selections in charts.
    
    This addresses several bugs with chart interactions and selections including
    BUG 0014223, BUG 0014224, BUG 0014225. We now have two buttons for selection types:
    rectangular and polygonal. One presses those to enter selection mode (or use the
    corresponding key-board shortcuts). The modifier buttons are don't start/stop
    selection, but just affect how the selection is updated on the subsequent
    selection action. Selection modifier is persistent and hence persists till user
    manually changes it. We switch in and out of selection mode similar to what we
    do for 3D view i.e. on mouse-up, we come out selection mode to regular
    interaction mode.

 Much, much better. I did notice a strange issue with the interaction, which I reported with bug 0014392, but overall selections in plots are way more usable.
