Each of the above 3 lines should be followed by the appropriate coordinate, 
in binary. See  http://www.vtk.org => Technical Documents => File Formats.

There is another issue that you will probably run across soon; its not 
documented as far as I can tell. After reading legacy-style files in binary 
VTK swaps the bytes. It seems to be done whether or not it is needed. Thus, 
you may need to swap the bytes before writing integers or floats in binary.
