Is this a limitation in VTK, TVTK, or the Mayavi python code? The VTK
documentation seems to imply it supports cell data on polygon meshes
(though I don't know how one would set them):
http://www.vtk.org/doc/release/5.6/html/a01445.html
"Point and cell attribute values (e.g., scalars, vectors, etc.)
also are represented"
I'm happy to hack TVTK or Mayavi (in order of happiness) to support
cell data if VTK supports it.
