I have an irregular data, x dimension - 384, y dimension - 256 and z dimension 64. Now these coordinates are stored in 3 separate binary files and i have a data file having a data value for these points. I want to know, how can i represent such data to be easily visualized in vtk.

Till now we were using AVS which has fld files, which can read such data easily. I dont know how to do it in vtk. Would appreciate any pointers in this direction.

Hi Aaron,

Maybe you can write a short program to convert the files to a VTK native format. They are straightforward to work with, and there are ASCII and binary flavors. They are described in this document: www.vtk.org/VTK/img/file-formats.pdf

You may find this helpful also: http://www.rug.nl/cit/hpcv/visualisation/VTK/avs2vtk/man.html - if you dig through the page, there are scripts there to convert AVS files to VTK formats, it may be a good start point.

Hope this helps, Carlos-
