I have a triangle surface mesh that contains Cell based RGB attribute array. I would like to color by that array, ie, not using a Lookup table or interpolation. When I load my data set the cell data is listed, but in the "color by" drop down list the scalar array is not listed as a choice.

On a "whim" I then ran the "Cell Data to Point Data" filter on the data. At that point I was able to select the scalar array to "Color By" and the surface mesh now has the correct colors.

I know if I were to code this up in straight VTk I can set the rendering to be by Cells:

  vtkPolyDataMapper *cubeMapper = vtkPolyDataMapper::New();
  cubeMapper->SetInput(filter->GetOutput());
  cubeMapper->SetScalarVisibility(1);
  cubeMapper->SetScalarModeToUseCellData();

How do I get the same effect in ParaView?

Thanks
