[vtkusers] Building a colored texture by interpolating a set of colored points.

[Cory Quammen]

That seems like a reasonable approach to doing what you are describing. If
you need only to compute normals between points on a Delaunay2D surface and
display them immediately, then the rendering is already doing that for you
on the GPU, so it is very fast. If you need to save out the texture, then
doing it the way you describe also sounds reasonable.

HTH,
