[Paraview] Writing a TecPlot reader

[Berk Geveci]

Hi Nachiket,

A Tecplot reader would be a very useful addition to ParaView. However,
I have to warn you that the Tecplot format is very rich in features
and writing a reader that supports all of it would be quite a bit of
work. Maybe we should start putting together whatever we have and
continue on improving it with time. John, I know you guys have at
least a few different versions. Is there anything that could be put in
VTK without too much effort?

I would also like to see a CGNS reader in VTK/ParaView...
