[Paraview] xdmf X_Y_Z format

[Tobias Brandvik]

Hi,

I have a program that writes out files in HDF5 format. The geometry is
a structured grid and is specified as three arrays, each containing
one coordinate value for every point. I'm trying to get Paraview to
read this by using Xdmf, but can't get it to work. Reading the
following xdmf file with the attached hdf5 file gives the error below.
If I interleave the coordinates and use the XYZ format instead of
X_Y_Z then everything is fine. For various reasons though, it is
inconvenient to change the original program to do this so I would
prefer to use X_Y_Z.  I'm using serial Paraview 3.2.2 on 64-bit Centos
5. Does anyone know what might be wrong?

Cheers,
Tobias.
