I’d like to plot scalars that are individual for each cell and each point. To clarify, the number of scalars matches the (npoints\*ncells). Since this doesn’t match the number of cells or the number of points, you can’t use:  
SetScalarModeToUseCellData  
SetScalarModeToUsePointData

Is SetScalarModeToUseCellFieldData applicable for this? I’ve yet to come across any examples describing this usage.

The reason for this is I’d like to plot cell/point data that is discontinuous across cell boundaries. This is a common result from finite element analysis.
