Summary0015653: VTK legacy format (and VTK xml format) do not support field arrays
DescriptionThe specification for VTK legacy and VTK xml formats do not seem to include a way to specify field arrays (arrays not associated with points or cells).

VTK legacy format does include a way to specify a general Dataset where there are no point or cell data but only field data - this is done by setting the dataset type to FIELD.

The legacy & XML readers and writers all support field data. I verified that this is the case by creating a polydata object that has field data and writing it in both formats and then reading it back. It all works. I am guessing that the root cause of the issue that lead to this report is something else.
