[Paraview] Cell-centered data with vtkTecplotReader

[Berk Geveci]

Hi Adriano,

I wouldn't be surprised if the Tecplot reader has limitations,
including the ability to read cell-centered data. I'd suggest taking a
look at the source code to find out. If it is the case, it shouldn't
be too hard to add this functionality. Are you interested in giving it
a shot?
