2D arrays (including 3D arrays with nx=1, ny=1, or nz = 1) fail to parse in paraview when the point locations are written in binary #4

Example:

use ndarray::{Array1, Array2, Array3};
use vtk::{Spans2D, Mesh2D, Rectilinear2D};

let nx = 100;
let ny = 100;

// define all the points and their location in the grid
let x_locations : Vec<f64> = Array1::linspace(0., (nx * ny) as f64, nx*ny).to_vec();
let y_locations : Vec<f64> = x_locations.clone();

// vtk::Ascii will render a file that functions perfectly normally
let mesh = Mesh2D::<vtk::Binary>::new(x_locations, y_locations);

// define the global location of this data in the domain
// most of the time, you want something like this:
let spans = Spans2D::new(nx, ny);

// create an object to describe the entire domain
let domain = Rectilinear2D::new(mesh, spans);

#[derive(vtk::DataArray)]
#[vtk_write(encoding="binary")]
pub struct OurData {
    pressure: vtk::Scalar2D,
}

let pressure =vtk::Scalar2D::new(Array2::ones((nx,ny)));

let data = OurData { pressure };

let vtk_data = vtk::VtkData::new(domain, data);

let file = std::fs::File::create("./test_vtks/your_file.vtr").unwrap();
let writer = std::io::BufWriter::new(file);

vtk::write_vtk(writer, vtk_data);

Current workaround: use ascii or base64 encoding for arrays
