[aspect-devel] Postprocessing scripts

Hi,

I'm very interested in having functions to take vtk files and output 
things readable by Python. I don't really use paraview (or any other 
viewers) and I prefer to do outputs figures in Python, and calculate 
averages etc. in Python. Which, so far, I have not been able to do with 
ASPECT. I'm kind of guessing I'm the only one using the full sphere 
geometry here, and I don't understand exactly how the post-processors in 
ASPECT can deal with what I need.

Best,

Marine
