[vtkusers] How is the color of cell interpolated given different colors to each cell point?

[David E DeMarle]

If vtkMapper::InterpolateScalarsBeforeMapping is Off, we send the RGBs at
each vertex and GL interpolates the RGB values over the polygon. This can
produce incorrect results (colors outside of the lookup table) so I don't
recommend it.

If On, we send the color lookup table for the object over and the values at
each vertex instead of the colors at each vertex. GL interpolates the
values over the polygon and looks up the color at each pixel from the
lookup table.

Note that you can also color by cell aligned values. See
vtkMapper::SetScalarModeToUseCellData(). Here the color of all pixels
within a polygon will be the same and determined by looking up the cell's
value in the lookuptable.
