Hello
When using ParaView (v 3.11) to write data in the legacy format, I cannot read
the files back, if they contain Field Data.
I have noticed that Paraview writes the Field Data before the DIMENSIONS tag,
and when it reads the file back, it complains and cannot draw any data. I have
noticed that the order of writing of the different tags matters greatly. I.e.,
the DIMENSIONS tag must be written before the FIELD data.
I edited VTK/IO/vtkStructuredGridWriter.cxx and swapped a few lines of code,
i.e.
*fp << "DATASET STRUCTURED_GRID\n";
input->GetDimensions(dim);
*fp << "DIMENSIONS " << dim[0] << " " << dim[1] << " " << dim[2] << "\n";
if (!this->WriteDataSetData(fp, input))
{
........
}
and ParaView can now read its own data.
Can this cosmetic change be applied to all legacy writers, or is there
something against it?
