Detailed Description

Write surfaces fields (as PointData) in VTP format. Legacy VTK format is intentionally not supported.

The file output is structured as HEAD, FIELD_DATA, PIECE followed by any CELL_DATA or POINT_DATA. These states are tracked internally to help detect logic errors.

The FieldData element is to be placed prior to writing any geometry Piece. This moves the information to the front of the output file for visibility and simplifies the logic.

Note: Parallel output is combined into a single Piece without point merging, which is similar to using multi-piece data sets, but allows more convenient creation as a streaming process. In the future, the duplicate points at processor connections may be addressed using ghost points.
