[vtkusers] Accessing vtkPolyData scalars with Python

[bberkowi]

I was able to access the scalars for my surface by using

distanceArray =
distanceMapper.Surface.GetPointData().GetScalars('Distances')
distanceArray.GetValue(i) 

and then used that in a 'for' loop to get the scalar IDs that are in the
range that I want.  I'm assuming that the point IDs will correspond with the
scalar IDs (ie distanceArray.GetValue(1) will correspond with the scalar
value at the point ID 1).  Now that I have the point IDs, I want to create a
list of the associated cells using the 'GetPointCells()' class of
vtkPolyData.  I'm getting an error when I try that though - I'm assuming
it's just syntax.  Any ideas?  Here is the line (i is an integer, and
pointCellIds is a pre-defined list):

    distanceMapper.Surface.GetPointCells(i, pointCellIds)

Thanks!
