<p>Carpet’s HDF5 format outputs a <code>delta</code> attribute that describes the grid spacing for each written chunk. Currently <code>delta</code> is always set to zero for zero-width components, i.e. e.g. for 2d arrays. This confuses post-processing tools.</p>
<p>This pull request passes the actual grid spacing to the writer routine, and writes the correct grid spacing into the attribute.</p>
