[vtkusers] Color actor based on scalars of points on mesh (not vertices)

[Cory Quammen]

I see, thanks for the explanation. In VTK, we call that kind of data
cell-associated data, or just cell data.

In the vtkMapper you use, you'll want to call

mapper->SetScalarModeToUseCellData();

It may be helpful to consult this example:
