Hi Ernest, <br><br>
Maybe you should give a look at these classes from vtk :<br><br>
<a href="http://public.kitware.com/VTK/doc/nightly/html/classvtkStructuredGridWriter.html">
vtkStructuredGridWriter</a> and
<a href="http://public.kitware.com/VTK/doc/nightly/html/classvtkStructuredGridWriter.html">
vtkUnstructuredGridWriter</a>
(<a href="http://public.kitware.com/VTK/doc/nightly/html/classvtkUnstructuredGridWriter.html" eudora="autourl">
http://public.kitware.com/VTK/doc/nightly/html/classvtkUnstructuredGridWriter.html</a>
).<br><br>
Here's the code we use in our program (linked with VTK)<br><br>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica"><x-tab>
</x-tab>
vtkUnstructuredGridWriter
*uGridWriter=vtkUnstructuredGridWriter::New();<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
uGridWriter->SetFileName(fileName) ;<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>ostream
*fileHandle= uGridWriter->OpenVTKFile() ;<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
uGridWriter->WriteHeader (fileHandle);<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
uGridWriter->SetInput(container->getUnstructuredGrid());<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
uGridWriter->Write();<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
uGridWriter->CloseVTKFile (fileHandle) ;<br><br>
<br>
</font>If you only need to export the mesh (and not the data, it should
not be too difficult)<br>

I'm not sure if I know enough to write a valid VTK file. The code
that I produce would probably work fine for my purposes, but cause other
applications to fail. If some open source converter (or any other project
that writes a general, unstructured mesh) to the VTK format exists, I
offer to integrate that code into gmsh. Any suggestions where to
start?<br><br>
