[Paraview] Xdmf version verification & animation

[Eric Monson]

Hey Folks,

I am happy the Xdmf support has been turned back on in recent  
versions of ParaView (3.2 & 3.3).

I was under the impression, though, that it would be Xdmf 2 once it  
was re-activated, but I'm having trouble reading in files which I  
think are in the correct (new) format. Also, when I write (save) to  
Xdmf it looks more like the old format. Am I probably just screwing  
something up, or is the transition not complete yet?

Also, it is my understanding that to animate a time series of Xdmf  
data sets I will have to do something analogous to what is described  
in "Making custom readers work with file series" in the  
Animating_legacy_VTK_file_series Wiki entry. (i.e. I can't use a .pvd  
file to describe time steps for file formats other than the vtk  
native ones)  Is this correct?

Thanks a lot for the help,
-Eric
