[vtkusers] A dataset type for a "partially" structured dataset?

[Alaeddin A. Aydiner]

Hello,

Personally, I have always used the unstructured dataset. I wonder if there is
(or could be) a dataset type that handles data that is regular in a subset of
the dimensions, and irregular otherwise? In my case, the set of z-points are
identical while the data are scattered in the x-y plane. This would save many
extra bytes in the input file and should also speed up the visualization. A
corresponding file format could have a list of the fixed coordinates for the
regular subset, much like the structured case, and request fewer coordinates in
the unstructured section.

Thanks.
