[aspect-devel] output ASCII file for temperature field?

[Rene Gassmoeller]

Another option is to output the data as 'vtu', and then use ParaViews
'Save data' button, which can output the data as 'csv', which you can
then process by a shell script to bring it into a proper GMT format.
Paraview can do this for every available timestep in one process. I
personally feel the csv format of paraview is a bit easier to understand
and process than the gnuplot format.

Best,
Rene
