Hello Vidyadhar
If you start the script, you see, that you can have scalar values on the 
cell centers.
The following example shows the cell ids on the cell centers. This 
example works fine:
cc = vtk.vtkCellCenters()
cc.SetInputConnection(ids.GetOutputPort())
cellMapper = vtk.vtkLabeledDataMapper()
cellMapper.SetInputConnection(cc.GetOutputPort())
cellMapper.SetLabelFormat("%g")
cellMapper.SetLabelModeToLabelFieldData()
cellLabels = vtk.vtkActor2D()
cellLabels.SetMapper(cellMapper)
But i would like to have a sting like 'one' instead of '1'. As label on 
the cell center. but i only get 'null', with the example i posted above.
