VTKwrite

Python package to write VTK files in XML format

• This class can write a static unstructured grid, with time-dependent data, all in the same .vtu file!

• This package was forked from another package "PyEVTK" by Paulo A. Herrera.

https://github.com/paulo-herrera/PyEVTK

• Installation is done in the standard way: python setup.py install

• You need Python 3.6 or better.

• Compatibility: the generated files can be read by Paraview versions: 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, AND 5.11. I added a time-dependent .vtu file example to the unit tests of Paraview, so it should keep working in the future.

Local Install Help

If you need to make a "local" install (because you are not an administrator), then the install command will look like:

python setup.py install --prefix ~/.local

where you need to modify the ~/.local text to reflect your system setup.

Note: the command above will install it to this directory: ~/.local/lib/python3.x/site-packages/

Usage

After installing, go to the ./examples/ sub-directory and do this:

python runall.py run

to run the examples; you can also do

python runall.py clean

to delete the output.

The individual Python files should give you enough information to use this package.
