[vtkusers] VTK 7.0 vtkXMLPolyDataWriter output version issues

[Dan Lipsa]

Paul,
Looking closer that the blog it seems that a file with ghosts will have
version 2.0. The difference between 1.0 and 0.1 is caused
by VTK_USE_64BIT_IDS. Can you check that in your VTK's CMakeList.txt. It
seems that your VTK uses 32 bits while ParaView would use 64.
So that would explain the difference. Do you need/want to use 32 bits for
VTK? Can you recompile your VTK with 64 bit ids and retry.

Dan
