XDMF files

 

Hi, we're considering adding support for saving the XDMF
(www.xdmf.org) file format to DOLFIN. The main reasons are:

- A mesh can be referenced by many data sets; not necessary to save
the mesh at every time step.
- Readable by ParaView.

Does anybody have opinions as to whether XDMF is a good choice? It
will, of course, entail yet another (optional) build dependency.
