Accessing Array Information in `.vtk` Files with `ReadVTK`

[marcelschurer]

Hello,

I am using the ReadVTK package to read .vtk files and can successfully extract DataArrays using the available functionality. However, I noticed that certain additional array information, containing non-numerical content in the FieldData, is not accessible through the provided methods.

Is there a way to extract this type of array information using ReadVTK, or would additional functionality need to be implemented? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi! I don't believe anyone has ever tried to read non-numerical data from any kind of field. Therefore, I am afraid to say that you probably guessed it right - additional functionality would indeed be needed to support something like this.

It would be great if you can give it a try yourself 😊
