vlmget_ugrid

NAME

SYNOPSIS

    #include <vlmeta.h>
    int vlmget_ugrid(int ncid, vlmeta_ugrid *ugdata, int dtype);

DESCRIPTION

    Vlmget_ugrid reads the dimension information of data sets from ParVox unstructured grid data files. The handle ncid, which is obtained by a previous vlmopen_ugrid call, points to the file to read from. Vlmget_ugrid reads in the vertex table and cell table into the vlmeta_ugrid structure ugdata->vertex and ugdata->cell, respectively. The vertex table is a 2D array with dimension [number of vertices, 3]. Each entry in the array stores the (x, y, z) location of the vertex in the 3D space. The cell table is a 2D array with dimension [number of cells, 4]. Each cell is a tetrahedron with four corner vertices (i, j, k, l), where i, j, k, l indicates the index of the corner vertex to the vertex table. Dtype indicates the format the file is in, either VL_RAW or VL_NETCDF. VL_RAW is currently not supported.
