<div>Hi Mike,</div><div><br></div>First of all, thank you for the reply. You are right, those older .VTK file format can be either ASCII or BINARY. And the thing I'm trying to figure out is what version number makes the distinction between the newer(XML) file format and the legacy file format. Let me put it differently. I'm trying to find the highest version number that can be tagged to a legacy VTK file format. I've seen 3.0 but not sure what's the difference between 2.0 and 3.0. Is this just literally a number without any semantic that does not impose any restriction what can be in the file? If so, can I just ignore the version number?(even if the file says something like "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "># vtk DataFile Version 65536.0")</span><div>
<font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">Truly yours,</span></font></div>

The "legacy" vtk files are either the ASCI or BINARY based vtk files<br>
that you probably have been looking at. Not sure if there is an actual<br>
version to go with those. The XML versions are all the "Newer" and<br>
more preffered file formats. Are you trying to write a vtk file from<br>
another program and just need to make sure you get the proper format?<br>
