    <p>Hi All,<br>
    </p>
    <p>I'm trying to get Paraview (5.0.0) to read *.xmf-files and
      encounter difficulties when the geometry is "empty". Paraview is
      then crashing. The example I'm using to encounter the error looks
      as follows:</p>
    <p><?xml version="1.0" ?><br>
      <!DOCTYPE Xdmf SYSTEM "Xdmf.dtd" []><br>
      <Xdmf xmlns:xi=<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude">"http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude"</a>
      Version="2.2"><br>
        <Domain><br>
          <Grid GridType="Uniform"><br>
            <Topology TopologyType="Triangle" Dimensions="0"><br>
            </Topology><br>
            <Geometry GeometryType="XYZ" Dimensions="0"><br>
            </Geometry><br>
          </Grid><br>
        </Domain><br>
      </Xdmf></p>
    <p>How is an empty xdmf geometry supposed to be specified?<br>
    </p>
    <p>One workaround is to add a dummy point e.g. <br>
    </p>
    <p><?xml version="1.0" ?><br>
      <!DOCTYPE Xdmf SYSTEM "Xdmf.dtd" []><br>
      <Xdmf xmlns:xi=<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude">"http://www.w3.org/2003/XInclude"</a>
      Version="2.2"><br>
        <Domain><br>
          <Grid GridType="Uniform"><br>
            <Topology TopologyType="Triangle" Dimensions="0"><br>
            </Topology><br>
            <Geometry GeometryType="XYZ"><br>
              <DataItem Dimensions="1 3" NumberType="Float"
      Precision="4" Format="XML"><br>
      0 0 0<br>
      </DataItem>        <br>
            </Geometry><br>
          </Grid><br>
        </Domain><br>
      </Xdmf></p>
    <p>Will I have to settle with this workaround? How is an empty
      geometry supposed to be specified? <br>
