[Paraview] How to color by Cell Data

[Michael Jackson]

   Maybe it is Qt versions or ParaView versions? I am using Qt 4.6.1  
compiled for Cocoa on OS X 10.5.8 Intel. I am using ParaView from <url  
= git://github.com/Kitware/ParaView.git> which was last updated about  
a week ago. When I get to the office on Monday I can try the same with  
ParaView 3.6.2 and see if the problem persists.

   As far as Data, I _could_ share it, but like Jerome stated, you can  
reproduce it with a simple sphere source, then "Generate Normals". The  
complete source code can be found here:
