Description

MeshCenterFillDisplay fills each Mesh element with a single color, determined by the value of a scalar Output evaluated at the center of the element. This is faster and cruder than a real contour map (FilledContourDisplay or PlainContourDisplay), which can display variations within an element.

The what argument is the Output to be plotted.

The where argument determines where the output will appear. Elements may be drawn at their original, undisplaced positions, at their actual displaced positions, or at enhanced positions.

The colormap argument governs the translation from scalar values to colors.
