[vtkusers] problem reading .vtk file: error reading ascii file.possible mismatch of datasize with declaration

[kenichiro yoshimi]

Hi Swetha,

Your code may not be wrong. I regret to say that there is no way to
know if the file can be read.

I highly recommend that you look into a PDF of VTK file formats.
