[Paraview] Weird cellNormals

Hey David,

You can do it if you apply the "Generate Surface Normals" filter. That  
gives you point data "Normals" that can be glyphed.

Maybe someone else that is more well versed in VTK data structures can  
chime in on why "cellNormals" shows up in the color combo-box but is  
not really considered to be a real point or cell data attribute (i.e.  
doesn't show up in the Information pane as a Data Array).
