//  Just as custom data can be associated with points in the mesh,
//  it is also possible to associate custom data with cells. The type of the
//  data associated with the cells can be different from the data type
//  associated with points. By default, however, these two types are the same.
//  The following example illustrates how to access data associated with cells.
//  The approach is analogous to the one used to access point data.
