1.3
vtkParticleReader reads a raw file with particles. It supports random access into the file to read pieces. The format is: x, y, z, value (all floats). This class was developed with a specific file in mind, but may be made more general in the future. Here are a couple of features I am considering: any data types could be used, arbitrary list of arrays to read (extended to vectors as well), and time serries based on file names.

| vtkParticleReader* vtkParticleReader::New |
( |

|
Instantiate object with no start, end, or progress methods.
Reimplemented from vtkPolyDataSource. |

[virtual] |
|
| int vtkParticleReader::IsTypeOf |
( |
const char * |
type |
) |
[static] |
|
|
|
Return 1 if this class type 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.

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.

| vtkParticleReader* vtkParticleReader::SafeDownCast |
( |
vtkObject * |
o |
) |
[static] |
|
|
|
Will cast the supplied object to vtkObject* is this is a safe operation (i.e., a safe downcast); otherwise NULL is returned. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

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.

These methods should be used instead of the SwapBytes methods. They indicate the byte ordering of the file you are trying to read in. These methods will then either swap or not swap the bytes depending on the byte ordering of the machine it is being run on. For example, reading in a BigEndian file on a BigEndian machine will result in no swapping. Trying to read the same file on a LittleEndian machine will result in swapping. As a quick note most UNIX machines are BigEndian while PC's and VAX tend to be LittleEndian. So if the file you are reading in was generated on a VAX or PC, SetDataByteOrderToLittleEndian otherwise SetDataByteOrderToBigEndian. |
