Use VTK Lagrange cells for ParaView output #3337

Open nilsvu opened 3 years ago

Feature request:

VTK supports higher-order Lagrange cells, which we could use to have ParaView interpolate correctly between our data points, instead of the linear interpolation it currently does. Here's some resources:

This would be fantastic! Does XDMF have support for this yet? That's the only thing I can think of that would make things tricky. We already write the basis and quadrature, so for FD/FV we can use the cell-by-cell representation.
