Create a cube, assign a point array to the mesh named 'my_array', and rename it to 'my_renamed_array'.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> import numpy as np
>>> cube = pv.Cube()
>>> cube['my_array'] = range(cube.n_points)
>>> cube.rename_array('my_array', 'my_renamed_array')
>>> cube['my_renamed_array']
pyvista_ndarray([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7])
