vtkPolyDataReader - read vtk polygonal data file

Description:

vtkPolyDataReader is a source object that reads ASCII or binary polygonal data files in vtk format. See text for format details.

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 the file name of vtk polygonal data file to read.

	void SetFileName (char *)
	char *GetFileName ()

Get the header from the vtk data file.

char *GetHeader ()

Specify 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 scalar data to extract. If not specified, first scalar data encountered is extracted.

	void SetScalarsName (char *)
	char *GetScalarsName ()

Set / get the name of the vector data to extract. If not specified, first vector data encountered is extracted.

	void SetVectorsName (char *)
	char *GetVectorsName ()

Set / get the name of the tensor data to extract. If not specified, first tensor data encountered is extracted.

	void SetTensorsName (char *)
	char *GetTensorsName ()

Set / get the name of the normal data to extract. If not specified, first normal data encountered is extracted.

	void SetNormalsName (char *)
	char *GetNormalsName ()

Set / get the name of the texture coordinate data to extract. If not specified, first texture coordinate data encountered is extracted.

	void SetTCoordsName (char *)
	char *GetTCoordsName ()

Set / get the name of the lookup table data to extract. If not specified, uses lookup table named by scalar. Otherwise, this specification supersedes.

	void SetLookupTableName (char *)
	char *GetLookupTableName ()

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 ()
