ReadVTF

Read module for ViewTech file format data.

ReadVTF converts the representation of a surface in ViewTech File format (specified as file browser parameter) to a format acceptable for COVISE (on the first output port); in addition, the user can choose between scalar and vector results, which are provided by the chosen file. These results can be found at the last four output ports.

The module has been tested with Covise 5.2 on SGI.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
*.vtf	Browser	input file describing the surface in ViewTech File format
port_2 - port_5	Choice	scalar or vector data output provided by the file

Output Ports

Name	Type	Description
outputGrid	UnstructuredGrid	grid
outputPolygons	Polygons	polygons
outputdataout1	Float Vec3	scalar or vector results
outputdataout2	Float Vec3	scalar or vector results
outputdataout3	Float Vec3	scalar or vector results
outputdataout4	Float Vec3	scalar or vector results

Examples

This map shows you how to connect the output ports of ReadVTF if scalar data is provided.
