[Paraview] Writing binary VTK

[Moreland, Kenneth]

You have the basic idea for binary legacy VTK files.  I think the one caveat
is that the data needs to be written in big-endian format.  (Someone correct
me if I got that wrong.)

I'm not sure what you mean by the column vs. sequential style.  I think the
data parts in ASCII data treat all whitespace the same, so you should be
able to order the data in as many columns as you like.
