Hi Shi - From the docs:
number-of-string-tags
gives the number of string tags that follow. By default the first
string-tag is interpreted as the name of the post-processing view, and
the second as the name of the interpolation scheme.
number-of-real-tags
gives the number of real number tags that follow.
number-of-integer-tags
gives the number of integer tags that follow. By default the first
integer-tag is interpreted as a time step number, the second as the
number of field components of the data in the view, the third as the
number of entities (nodes or elements) in the view, and the fourth as
the partition index for the view data.
However, the code for drawing high-order post-processing elements using
the .msh format has not been activated yet. It's almost ready, but not
quite. It should be available in the next release.
Until then, using the old ".pos" format you will get the same bahaviour
as ParaView (second order quad split in 4 pieces, etc.).
