<br>
Are you perhaps asking if you need to write out, for example, the
triangle faces of each tetrahedron you write out? =A0(Answer: no.) =A0Are
you asking if you can define a point, line, or triangle in 3D space?
=A0(Answer: yes.)<br>

 the first question.=A0 I implemented the vtk file format for an unstructur=

<br>
I&#39;m not familiar with all of the plugins in paraview, but I am wonderin=
g whether I need to write lower order elements in my vtk files for flexibil=
ity.<br>
<br>
All of my data is point based.<br>
<br>
I am thinking that:<br>
<br>
if 1d:<br>
=A0=A0=A0 Write Lines<br>
if 2d:<br>
=A0=A0=A0 Write Triangles<br>
if 3d:<br>
=A0=A0=A0 Write Tetrahedron<br>
<br>
Would there be any reason to write lines and triangles in 3d to the output =
file?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
