[vtkusers] PVTS, Multiblock or Both

Greetings,

I am reasonably new to vtk and I am mainly using it to manage datasets on
structured grids.

I am trying to write data for a structured grid in parallel python via
MPI.  Each process has a separate portion of the grid, and I'm trying to
figure out how to set up the write process. I was following this example:

http://www.vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTK.git;a=blob;f=IO/ParallelXML/Testing/Python/testParallelXMLWriters.py

But then I realized that in this case each process has the entire grid, and
each processor is just writing a portion of the data it contains.  So do I
need to use a multiblock data set?  Can someone please provide a simple
example of how to write a structured grid in parallel provided each process
has the local extent correctly specified?

Thanks
