You most probably want to use the STRUCTURED_GRID format
described in this document
    http://www.vtk.org/pdf/file-formats.pdf
but it will only work if your spherical grid is regularly sampled
in (r,theta,phi) space. Otherwise you'll need to make an
unstructured grid and specify cells using a connectivity array.

Hello,

Can anyone tell me what type grid file format to use to turn an ascii file with a 3D spherical grid into something readable by vtk?

THanks,
Deirdre
