<BR>
Are you perhaps asking if you need to write out, for example, the triangle faces of each tetrahedron you write out? (Answer: no.) Are you asking if you can define a point, line, or triangle in 3D space? (Answer: yes.)<BR>

<BR>
I'm not familiar with all of the plugins in paraview, but I am wondering whether I need to write lower order elements in my vtk files for flexibility.<BR>
<BR>
All of my data is point based.<BR>
<BR>
I am thinking that:<BR>
<BR>
if 1d:<BR>
Write Lines<BR>
if 2d:<BR>
Write Triangles<BR>
if 3d:<BR>
Write Tetrahedron<BR>
<BR>
Would there be any reason to write lines and triangles in 3d to the output file?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
<BR>
