[Paraview] Can ParaView utilize FIELD data in legacy VTK files?

[David E DeMarle]

Yes, It shows up in the spreadsheet view when you switch from to look at
field aligned quantities. You can access the data within the python
programmable filter and recent versions of paraview give you the option of
color mapping the entire block by it.

The not cell or point aligned data that go in the field array collection
tends to be application specific, so it is harder to be specific about how
one utilizes it. The Gaussian Quadrature filter for instance uses
specifically named and formatted entries there to put quantities at
arbitrary points within cells. Other filters do other very specific things
with the data there an they also can impose requirements on it.
