Hey Vishwa, I haven't done this before, but what method is best/easiest will probably depend on what type of data you have stored in your .vtk file.
If it's image data, then you might be able to write a simple VTK program to read in each of the vtk files and write out a more standard image format that Matlab can read. Have a look at the writers that inherit from vtkImageWriter (or maybe use that itself): http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkImageWriter.html Otherwise, you may have to write a reader in Matlab that will just read in the data and form a Matlab array directly. Here someone has done it for Structured Grid data (I have not tried this, I just found it on the web): http://www.cb.uu.se/~erik/vtk/readVTK.m Depending on how big your data is or what type of values it contains, ParaView might be able to save it as a CSV or PNG file, too. (Which could be scripted as a batch Python job.) Hope this helps, -Eric ------------------------------------------------------ Eric E Monson Duke Visualization Technology Group On Aug 30, 2010, at 3:53 PM, Vishwa wrote: > Hi, > When running a simulation, I ended up saving slices of the data as a .vtk > file.
