Class
    Foam::functionObjects::vtkWrite

Group
    grpUtilitiesFunctionObjects

Description
    Writes fields in VTK (xml or legacy) format.
    Writes cell-values or point-interpolated values for volFields.

    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
    vtkWrite1
    {
        type            vtkWrite;
        libs            (utilityFunctionObjects);
        writeControl    writeTime;
        writeInterval   1;
        format          binary;
        legacy          false;
        decompose       false;
        ...
        fields          (U p);
        // excludeFields  ("force.*");

        selection
        {
            box
            {
                action  use;
                source  box;
                box     (-0.1 -0.01 -0.1) (0.1 0.30 0.1);
            }
            dome
            {
                action  add;
                source  sphere;
                origin  (-0.1 -0.01 -0.1);
                radius  0.25;
            }
            centre
            {
                action  subtract;
                source  sphere;
                origin  (-0.1 -0.01 -0.1);
                radius  0.1;
            }
            blob
            {
                action  add;
                source  surface;
                surface triSurfaceMesh;
                name    blob.stl;

        }

    \table
        Property    | Description                           | Required | Default
        format      | ascii or binary format                | no  | binary
        legacy      | Legacy VTK output                     | no  | false
        precision   | Write precision in ascii         | no | same as IOstream
        directory   | The output directory name     | no | postProcessing/NAME
        width       | Padding width for file name           | no  | 8
        decompose   | Decompose polyhedral cells            | no  | false
        writeIds    | Write cell,patch,proc id fields       | no  | false
    \endtable

    \heading Output Selection
    \table
        Property    | Description                           | Required | Default
        region      | Name for a single region              | no  | region0
        regions     | List of regions (wordRe list)         | no  |
        patches     | Limit to listed patches (wordRe list) | no  |
        excludePatches | Exclude specified patches          | no  |
        selection   | Cell selection (topoSet actions)      | no  | empty dict
    \endtable

Note
    The region of interest is defined by the selection dictionary
    as a set of actions (use,add,subtract,subset,invert).
    Omitting the selection dictionary is the same as specifying the
    conversion of all cells (in the selected regions).
    Omitting the patches entry is the same as specifying the conversion of all
    patches.
