[vtkusers] [Paraview] how to store label fields

[Berk Geveci]

This confuses me. The slice filter (vtkCutter) is not supposed to
interpolate any cell-centered data whether it is integer or double. To
my knowledge, there has been no bug that changed this. Can you send me
a small dataset that I can reproduce this with?
