[Paraview] XML-Data

[Kent Eschenberg]

Please keep correspondance on the list so that 1) others can benefit from our 
brilliant insights :) and 2) others can correct our stupid mistakes.

You almost have it right - the VTK XML file documentation is missing two 
important details. First, change your line to

    <AppendedData encoding="raw">

Section, start each section of raw data with a 4-byte integer giving the number 
of bytes in that section. In your case there is just one such section.

By the way your grid is not "rectilinear".

Almost there!
