So I have what should be a relatively simple question but I'm new to OpenDX
and running low on time.

I have a working DX program the way I want it visualizing the data from my
simulation, however my simulations data is sparse and is on a 200x200x200
grid. This makes the data files 16megabytes of mostly zeros because I just
write the value at that point in the grid so there is a one to one
correspondence. So I was looking to cut down on the size of the output
files by changing the output format. I changed it to

x y z value
x y z value  ..

This has made my data files much smaller but I'm having a hard time getting
this inputted to OpenDX. I would like to be just a change to the dx files
but I don't see how to tell OpenDX that the 3 int vector is the position
and following scalar is the value at that position. When I tried importing
it as scattered point data it plotted everything even the x y z as data.
Now this is ofcourse simple and should be able to be done with ease but I
don't see it and the documentation I've been reading talks alot about skew
grids that are one to one.

Any ideas for a quick and easy drop in replacement to my current import
module and or my dx file would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Brendan
