I am trying to read in a triangulation from a vtk file (generated by the dealii library). It works, but it seems like no information about neighboring cells is generated: iterating through the cells and calling cell->neighbor_index(face) always gives -1, indicating that the face is at the boundary (which it is certainly not in all cases). Do I need to generate this manually? Or adjust the vtk file? Or is the vtk format no suited for this?

It is, in general. I think the question is what's in the VTK file. How did you generate it?

(If you generated it by writing it from deal.II's DataOut class, then the resulting mesh will have the property you note because we duplicate each vertex of the mesh as many times as there are adjacent cells.)
