Great news!

 

But I haven’t found a cell to points filter in the Doxygen yet.

Which one does this interpolation?

You can not contour cell centered values. Isocontouring finds the planes
within each cell that lie on the chosen isovalues. With cell centered
values, the nearest equivalent operation is threshold, which picks out the
cells that have the chosen isovalues.

You can apply the cell to points filter to interpolate cell centered values
onto the points, then the contour will have something to work with inside
each cell.

Maybe I have to interpolate to the points if contour filter doesn't work on
cell data?!
