VisItWriter

The visit_writer library writes legacy format VTK files with a minimal amount of code. The visit_writer library provides C and Python interfaces. Using the visit_writer library is covered in the Getting Data Into VisIt manual.

• The C version is available here.
• The Python version is distributed with VisIt. To access it:
  1. copy it to your current directory (cp /path/to/visit/VERSION/PLATFORM/lib/visit_writer.so .),
  2. Start up VisIt's Python interpreter (visit -cli -nowin),
  3. and say "import visit_writer".
