Description
Read_Volume reads an Application Visualization System volume format file (.dat suffix) and converts it into an AVS/Express Field_Unif.
Input
ui_parent
A port to connect to a user interface object that contains the macro's widgets. By default, it is connected to the default user interface object in the application in which the macro is instanced. (This default connection is not drawn.).
Parameters
Read vol Filename
File browser. Selects the disk file to input and convert. The default search pattern is $XP_PATH<0>/data/volume/*.dat.
The input file is an AVS volume (.dat) format binary file such as the AVS write_volume module produces.
Output Port
out
The output is a new Field_Unif object containing:
nnodes equal to the product of the dims array (X x Y x Z)
nnode_data equals 1 (one Data_Array component)
nvals equals nnodes
veclen equals 1
values array contains the scalar node values
primitive data type OM_TYPE_BYTE
Grid_Unif (portions derived from Grid_Struct)
ndims equal to 3 (from Dim3)
dims array equal to dims[0] = x dim; dims[1] = y dim; dims[2] = z dim
points array equal to: points[0] = 0.0
points[1] = 0.0
points[2] = 0.0
points[3] = (float) x - 1.0
points[4] = (float) y - 1.0
points[5] = (float) z - 1.0
