Hi,<br>
<br>
thanks for your quick answer.<br>

I don't really understand what's so *3D* about it (e.g., Image Data).<br>
Is there other 2D stuff, too?<br>

<br>
Thanks a lot for the link to the examples page, that's really really<br>
helpful. I was able to play around with it and do this and that.<br>
Still, I'm missing a few things, e.g., tutorials for writing other<br>
data types (e.g., VTR files). I'm also not quite clear now on the<br>
options that I could use in conjunction with the writers. Is that<br>
something I'd have to discover by the doxygen documentation, or are<br>
there comprehensive example/option description resources?<br>
<br>
I was specifically asking myself if it's possible to include custom<br>
info into XML-style VT* files. I'm solving PDEs here, and I'd like to<br>
store the result of one run, and I thought it might be a good idea to<br>
store it in a format which I can actually *look* at, too, rather than<br>
just plain numbers in columns. I'd like to store additional info about<br>
the respective PDE, too, which for example in the old-style VTK files<br>
I always used the second row for (although space was rather limited<br>
there).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
