To color a mesh from element data (stress equivalent, etc.), the only possibility is to use -dataeltcol, which produces a uniform color inside elements, and therefore color "jumps" from one element to the next.
Describe the solution you'd like
It should be made possible to get smooth colors when the color is defined from element data, just as in the case where color is defined from node data (displacement, velocity, ...).
This is a relatively easy problem, for which we can determine the node values that produce the correct element values based on finite element interpolation to the element centroids. It first needs #372 to be resolved.
