Detailed Description

Read ASCII or binary particle data and (optionally) one scalar value associated with each particle.

vtkParticleReader reads either a binary or a text file of particles. Each particle can have associated with it an optional scalar value. So the format is: x, y, z, scalar (all floats or doubles). The text file can consist of a comma delimited set of values. In most cases vtkParticleReader can automatically determine whether the file is text or binary. The data can be either float or double. Progress updates are provided. With respect to binary files, random access into the file to read pieces is supported.

Enumerate the supported file types.

FILE_TYPE_IS_UNKNOWN, (default) the class will attempt to determine the file type.
FILE_TYPE_IS_TEXT, the file type is text.
FILE_TYPE_IS_BINARY, the file type is binary.

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class.

Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataAlgorithm.

overridevirtual

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses.

Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.
