Visualization

Any of the Chrest file formats can be visualized using Visit or Paraview. An xdmf files is a txt/xml file that tells Visit/ParaView how to interpret the data in the hdf5 file. It does not replace the h5 file, both are needed.

1. Generate XDMF files Pass each h5 file or files (using a wild card) to the converter.

   python matlabToXdmfGenerator.py --file=/Users/mcgurn/scratch/results/temp/temperature*.h5

2. Open the XDMF files using Visit or ParaView.
