VTK HDF Reader
July 19, 2022
Motivation HDF is a widely used data format which consists of n-dimensional named arrays (datasets) organized in a directory structure (groups). Storing VTK data in HDF is complicated because HDF does not have a standard way to attach meaning to its arrays – so a reader does not know which array represents points, cells, and other attributes. Traditionally, […]
