since we only handle RGB luts, I exported the lut from paraview
like so:
from paraview.simple import *
SuperQuadric()
r = Show()
Render()
pvl = r.LookupTable.SMProxy.GetClientSideObject()
rgb = [0,0,0]
for x in range(0,256):
    v = x/255.0 #should be get range, but superquadric TCoord is 0.0,1.0
    pvl.GetColor(v, rgb)
    print "%f, %f, %f, %f," % (v, rgb[0], rgb[1], rgb[2])
