[Paraview] Re: Tecplot writer (was: parallel paraview)

Tue Nov 13 21:16:38 EST 2007

I have a TecPlot Reader that I've integrated into our visualization tool
ezViz (http://daac.hpc.mil/ezviz) .  It reads TecPlot Binary files and
creates vtkStructuredGrids, that are all appended into a large Unstructured
Grid (I'm working with an AMR multizone mesh).
