HI, Prof. Steven,

Thanks for your kind reply. I will try to do it by Scheme file I/O after 
reading something about it online. About the number of points, that's because I 
need the field components on the surfaces of Photonic crystal including fields 
on the holes' surfaces which are not flat. And the positions are not always 
those of the FDTD lattice nodes. Although it can be done by interpolation with 
those volume data from MEEP, the size of the files is big. MEEP can output 
fields at any point, and the file can be smaller if only the needed data is 
output with externally generated files with (x,y,z). I haven't think of any 
other methods currently.

Thanks.

Best,
Jiangjun
