Face-centered outputs are missing last entry

[c-white]

The HDF5 output supports the face-centered fields, however it only writes nx3 * nx2 * nx1 values, rather than, e.g., nx3 * nx2 * (nx1+1) in the case of x1-faces.

I was aware this but I did not change it intentionally. If we want to implement this, I guess the XDMF file must be modified to indicate it is a face-centered variable.

Is this still the case, @tomidakn ?

[tomidakn]

Yes. I have not changed it. Actually, if we want to implement this, we should do it thoroughly so that VisIt (and other visualization software) can interpret those data points as face-centered, not volume-centered.

@tomidakn, how complicated would it be to make the change suitable for VisIt?

[tomidakn]

To be honest I do not know, and I am sorry but I do not want to spend too much time on VisIt. I'd appreciate if someone who really needs this feature could take care of it. Please take a look at the VisIt documentation.

😆 I understand not wanting to spend too much time on VisIt. I could take a look.
