[Paraview] cell data on polygonal cells

Tue Jun 22 10:59:28 EDT 2004

Dear paraview developers,

I have the same problem using a scalar cell attribute.

(I would not care too much about a vector cell attribute since as you 
said you can work around it)

Regards,

Mattijs

p.s. some positive feedback as well: I am really enjoying paraview! None 
of the weirdness / inconsistencies of some other postprocessors.
