RES: RES: [Paraview] VTK formats and Fortran (again...)

[Renato N. Elias]

First of all I'd like to thank Fred, Kent and Bruno for the help...

I've finally got something working here... Fortran, Binary and VTK
(unfortunately only the Legacy format...)

I left a very simple Fortran90 program available in
http://www.nacad.ufrj.br/~rnelias/paraview/VTKFormat.f90 . Please, if you
find what's wrong with the XML version contact me.

Now, I have another very silly doubt regarding the Legacy format:

-- What is a "partitioned VTK Legacy" file? Would it be a simple VTK Legacy
file with *.pvtk extension?! 

BTW, I can't understand why there is a bunch of different file extensions
for those XML/VTK based files... if they are all XML files why they should
be distinguished by their extension and not by a simple XML tag?!
 
Regards

Yes, I know this, but not a problem for me.
By the way, XML base64 files size are little bigger than binary.

I began to write my C code to write legacy VTK files, which does not 
require any VTK libs.
Then, I added a few routines, which do use VTK libs, to write my files 
in XML.
But once again, only in C.
But if it can help...
