Class
    Foam::functionObjects::writeVTK

Description
    This functionObject writes objects registered to the database in VTK format
    using the foamToVTK library.

    Currently only the writing of the cell-values of volFields is supported but
    support for other field types, patch fields, Lagrangian data etc. will be
    added.

    Example of function object specification:
    \verbatim
        writeVTK1
        {
            type        writeVTK;
            libs ("libutilityFunctionObjects.so");
            ...
            objectNames (obj1 obj2);
        }
    \endverbatim

Usage
    \table
        Property     | Description             | Required    | Default value
        type         | type name: writeVTK     | yes         |
        objectNames  | objects to write        | yes         |
    \endtable
