vtkPExodusIIReader

Section: Visualization Toolkit Hybrid Classes

Usage

vtkPExodusIIReader is a unstructured grid source object that reads ExodusII files. Most of the meta data associated with the file is loaded when UpdateInformation is called. This includes information like Title, number of blocks, number and names of arrays. This data can be retrieved from methods in this reader. Separate arrays that are meant to be a single vector, are combined internally for convenience. To be combined, the array names have to be identical except for a trailing X,Y and Z (or x,y,z). By default all cell and point arrays are loaded. However, the user can flag arrays not to load with the methods "SetPointDataArrayLoadFlag" and "SetCellDataArrayLoadFlag". The reader responds to piece requests by loading only a range of the possible blocks. Unused points are filtered out internally.
