General Module Function
cell_centers module produces a mesh containing Point cell set, each point of which represents a geometrical center of a corresponding cell in the input mesh. The coordinates of cell centers are calculated by averaging coordinates of all the nodes of a cell. The number of nodes in the output mesh is equal to number of cells in the input mesh. If the input mesh contains Cell_Data it becomes a Node_Data in the output mesh with each node values equal to corresponding cell value. Nodal data is not output directly. You can use this module to create a position mesh for the glyph module. You may also use this module as mesh input to the interp_data module, then send the same nodal values as the input grid, to create interpolated nodal values at cell centroids.
Module Input Ports
cell_centers has one input ports which can contain any type of mesh.
Module Output Ports
cell_centers has two output ports. The first output port (closest to the left) outputs a new mesh that consists of points representing geometrical centers of the corresponding cells in the input mesh. It also may contain a Node_Data that corresponds to Cell_Data in the input mesh. The second port outputs a renderable version of the output field
