vtkXMLHierarchicalDataReader

Section: Visualization Toolkit IO Classes

Usage

vtkXMLHierarchicalDataReader reads the VTK XML hierarchical data file format. XML hierarchical data files are meta-files that point to a list of serial VTK XML files. When reading in parallel, it will distribute sub-blocks among processor. If the number of sub-blocks is less than the number of processors, some processors will not have any sub-blocks for that level. If the number of sub-blocks is larger than the number of processors, each processor will possibly have more than 1 sub-block.

To create an instance of class vtkXMLHierarchicalDataReader, simply invoke its constructor as follows

  obj = vtkXMLHierarchicalDataReader
