vtkBMPReader - read Windows BMP files

Description:

vtkBMPReader is a source object that reads Windows BMP files. This includes indexed and 24bit bitmaps BMPReader creates structured point datasets. The dimension of the dataset depends upon the number of files read. Reading a single file results in a 2D image, while reading more than one file results in a 3D volume. To read a volume, files must be of the form "FileName." (e.g., foo.ppm.0, foo.ppm.1, ...). You must also specify the image range. This range specifies the beginning and ending files to read (range can be any pair of non-negative numbers). The default behavior is to read a single file. In this case, the form of the file is simply "FileName" (e.g., foo.bar, foo.ppm, foo.BMP).
