Hey Jens,

I think it should work out fine to treat them as "particles with attributes". Here's an example of a short time series of particles which each have XYZ positions, plus a scalar and a vector attribute.

Hi,

I am using xdmf-file-format for my structured grid to visualise
turbulent flows.

Now, I have a bunch of vectors not connected to that grid, but defined
somewhere between the grid-points. They are stored as float-XYZ
+xyzLength in my hdf5-file (you could think of particles with
attributes,too.)

Therefore I need to add polydata-points+attributes to my xdmf-file. Is
that possible? And if yes, how?

Greetings
Jens
