VTK output from DA vectors

[Matthew Knepley]

1) I believe the standard VTK viewer (ASCII Viewer with VTK format) gets the
coordinates
    right. Can you verify this?

2) You should be able to split the 4- component field into 4 fields using
the Split filter in VTK
     or whatever viewer you use (I do this in Mayavi2, but Paraview also
works).

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their experiments
is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their experiments
lead.
