<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I need to convert legacy vtk files to vtr files. The vtk files are in ASCII format and approx. 17 MB large. When I use binary or ASCII as data mode, I get a file size of approx. 28 MB. When I use appended data mode without encoding, it’s 20 MB. When I
use encoding with ZLib compressor (there is only this one), the shinks to approx. 800 kB! Also data access is a lot faster when I load that file in ParaView.</div>
<div>My questions:</div>
<div> </div>
<ol style="margin:0;padding-left:36pt;">
<li>Why does the file grow for most of the modes I have tried?</li><li> Is the ZLib compression used in ParaView lossless, or do I lose information when I apply it?</li></ol>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for some explanations…</div>
