Hi Amit,
Great! If you're data is stored as binary single precision float with
one array per scalar/component, I'd recommend the BOV reader in the
SciberQuest ToolKit plugin. It provides both a parallel read and writer
for PV and supports scalars, vectors, symetric tensors and tensors. The
ascii headers are very easy to write.

btw Some time ago I shared a parallel FORTRAN writer for this format
with Mahidhar. It was quite while ago, but I may have a copy around if
he doesn't.
If you have some other data organization then XDMF may work.

Burlen,
Yes the mesh is uniformly spaced.
Instead of going in round about way of using BOV format and bunch of other
transforms in paraview.
What is the recommended way to doing things the paraview way for unigrid data
1) Is there a way to write a simple header like BOV for an existing dump of
uniform 3d binary data?
2) Other format you recommend we can dump directly from the code, excluding
ASCII VTK
Thanks

If I'm not mistaken, PV does not currently support native volume rendering of
stretched Cartesian meshes (ie vtkRectilinearGrid). However it does support
volume rendering on uniform Carteisan meshes and other data types. There are
quick and dirty ways to convert the stretched Cartesian meshes to a data type
for which volume rendering is supported in the GUI. Obviously not ideal, but
would let you render something quickly.
The default BOV reader in PV is the VisIt BOV reader which always generates a
stretched Cartesian meshes even when the data is uniformly spaced. This is a
VisIt issue. If you have uniform spacing then you should use a different
reader. On the other hand if you really do have a stretched Cartesian grid then
the quickest path to a volume rendering is to convert to an unstructured grid.
You can do this in the GUI after you open the data apply a threshold filter
(set the threshold so that all data is passed, the defaults should do it).

Hi Amit,
XDMF data format is a little better than BOV in ParaView for rectilinear
data. VisIt will also read XDMF.
An example code can be found here:
https://raw.github.com/openmichigan/PSNM/master/KleinGordon/Programs/KleinGordon3dMpiFFT/xdmfcreate.f90
The corresponding example program to create BOV header files is here:
https://raw.github.com/openmichigan/PSNM/master/KleinGordon/Programs/KleinGordon3dMpiFFT/bovcreate.f90
These programs take as input the number of grid points in each dimension

Benson

Hello,
I am loading a BOV file into Paraview, however I do not get an option for
volume representation.
Do I need to add something else to the bov header file other than standard BOV
specifications?
Alternatively is there a better way to load a rectilinear uniform grid data
into paraview other than using BOV header files.
Help appreciated.
Cheers

Amit,
Do you have sample dataset to share? Feel free to share it of the list if
needed.
