Hi, I need to convert legacy vtk files to vtr files. The vtk files are in ASCII format and approx. 17 MB large. When I use binary or ASCII as data mode, I get a file size of approx. 28 MB. When I use appended data mode without encoding, it's 20 MB. When I use encoding with ZLib compressor (there is only this one), the shinks to approx. 800 kB! Also data access is a lot faster when I load that file in ParaView. My questions:
1. Why does the file grow for most of the modes I have tried? 2. Is the ZLib compression used in ParaView lossless, or do I lose information when I apply it? Thanks for some explanations...
