For anyone who has had problems with reading legacy VTK files, esp. in v 3.10, be careful to avoid leading spaces, and to use UPPERCASE.
For example, this works:
# vtk DataFile Version 2.0
written by FFT4-FFTW-mpi
ASCII
DATASET STRUCTURED_POINTS
DIMENSIONS 512 64 64
ORIGIN 0.0 0.0 0.0
SPACING 1.10462212541120 0.475555065232886 0.475555065232886
POINT_DATA 2097152
SCALARS stress float
LOOKUP_TABLE default
etc.
This, e.g., does not work (file reads in but nothing displays)!
# vtk datafile Version 2.0

DATASET STRUCTURED_POINTS
DIMENSIONS 512 64 64
