Hello,

In the past I've written out legacy ASCII vtk files from matlab with no problem at all. Recently I tried doing the same from fortran using the Intel Fortran compiler. While the matlab vtk files were read just fine, the fortran files seem to go unrecognized by Paraview. I'm finding this very difficult to debug as there aren't really any error messages to examine. The only one I get is rather cryptic and I don't know what to make of it.

Any advice on how to hunt down the bug would be greatly appreciated. Also, looking at the files I had written out from Matlab and the new fortran files, they look exactly the same except the fortran files are considerably larger.

Found out the problem, the opening line was
# vtk Datafile Version 3.0
instead of
# vtk DataFile Version 3.0
