Cell Centers (CellCenters)
Create a point (no geometry) at the center of each input cell.
The Cell Centers filter places a point at the center of each cell in the input data set. The center computed is the parametric center of the cell, not necessarily the geometric or bounding box center. The cell attributes of the input will be associated with these newly created points of the output. You have the option of creating a vertex cell per point in the outpuut. This is useful because vertex cells are rendered, but points are not. The points themselves could be used for placing glyphs (using the Glyph filter). The Cell Centers filter takes any type of data set as input and produces a polygonal data set as output.

The selected object must be the result of the following: sources (includes readers), filters.

The selected dataset must be one of the following types (or a subclass of one of them): vtkDataSet.

 
Vertex Cells
(VertexCells)
If set to 1, a vertex cell will be generated per point in the output. Otherwise only points will be generated. 0

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.
