vtkFieldDataReader - read vtk field data file

Description:

vtkFieldDataReader is a source object that reads ASCII or binary field data files in vtk format. Fields are general matrix structures used represent complex data.

Caveats:

Binary files written on one system may not be readable on other systems.

Detailed Method Descriptions:

Return the MTime also considering the vtkDataReader ivar

unsigned long GetMTime ()

Set / get file name of vtk field data file to read.

	void SetFileName (char *)
	char *GetFileName ()

Set / get the InputString for use when reading from a character array.

	void SetInputString (char *)
	void SetInputString (char * ,int )

Set/Get reading from an InputString instead of the default, a file.

	char *GetInputString ()
	void SetReadFromInputString (int )
	int GetReadFromInputString ()
	void ReadFromInputStringOn ()
	void ReadFromInputStringOff ()

Get the type of file (ASCII or BINARY)

int GetFileType ()

Set / get the name of the field data to extract. If not specified, uses first field data encountered in file.

	void SetFieldDataName (char *)
	char *GetFieldDataName ()
