<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>
PyVTK provides the following tools for manipulating <a

(see also <a href="http://www.vtk.org/pdf/file-formats.pdf">VTK
File Formats Standard 3.0</a>).
The features include:
<ul>
<li>ascii and binary output, ascii input from VTK file
<li>DataSet formats:
StructuredPoints, StructuredGrid, RectilinearGrid,
PolyData, UnstructuredGrid
<li>Data formats:
PointData, CellData
<li>DataSetAttr formats:
Scalars, ColorScalars, LookupTable, Vectors,
Normals, TextureCoordinates, Tensors, Field
</ul>
