To create an instance of class vtkDataSetReader, simply invoke its constructor as follows
obj = vtkDataSetReader
obj
is an instance of the vtkDataSetReader class.
string = obj.GetClassName ()
int = obj.IsA (string name)
vtkDataSetReader = obj.NewInstance ()
vtkDataSetReader = obj.SafeDownCast (vtkObject o)
vtkDataSet = obj.GetOutput ()
- Get the output of this filter
vtkDataSet = obj.GetOutput (int idx)
- Get the output of this filter
vtkPolyData = obj.GetPolyDataOutput ()
- Get the output as various concrete types. This method is typically used
when you know exactly what type of data is being read. Otherwise, use
the general GetOutput() method. If the wrong type is used NULL is
returned. (You must also set the filename of the object prior to
getting the output.)
vtkStructuredPoints = obj.GetStructuredPointsOutput ()
- Get the output as various concrete types. This method is typically used
when you know exactly what type of data is being read. Otherwise, use
the general GetOutput() method. If the wrong type is used NULL is
returned. (You must also set the filename of the object prior to
getting the output.)
vtkStructuredGrid = obj.GetStructuredGridOutput ()
- Get the output as various concrete types. This method is typically used
when you know exactly what type of data is being read. Otherwise, use
the general GetOutput() method. If the wrong type is used NULL is
returned. (You must also set the filename of the object prior to
getting the output.)
vtkUnstructuredGrid = obj.GetUnstructuredGridOutput ()
- Get the output as various concrete types. This method is typically used
when you know exactly what type of data is being read. Otherwise, use
the general GetOutput() method. If the wrong type is used NULL is
returned. (You must also set the filename of the object prior to
getting the output.)
vtkRectilinearGrid = obj.GetRectilinearGridOutput ()
- Get the output as various concrete types. This method is typically used
when you know exactly what type of data is being read. Otherwise, use
the general GetOutput() method. If the wrong type is used NULL is
returned. (You must also set the filename of the object prior to
getting the output.)
int = obj.ReadOutputType ()
- This method can be used to find out the type of output expected without
needing to read the whole file.
