Notes: 1. If you set field names with DMDASetFieldName(), those will be present in the VTK file (hence your GUI of choice). 2. If you name Vecs differently, you can view multiple Vecs to the same file provided they are associated with a DMDA. The variable name will include the Vec name. 3. Time series can't go in the same file because VTK is a lame format. 4. You can't view multiple Vecs on _different_ DAs because VTK is a lame format. 5. DMComposite can't go in the same file because VTK is a lame format. (It could go to different files, but I haven't written support for this.) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
