When calling
firedrake.output.VTKFile(), the file that is created is actually a.pvdfile..vtufiles aren't created until theVTKFile.write()method is called..vtkfiles are never created.I'll concede that ParaView is based on VTK, so there is certainly a link back to VTK which can be documented, however I would argue that the class should be renamed to
