vlmopen_ugrid

NAME

SYNOPSIS

    #include <vlmeta.h>
    int vlmopen_ugrid(char *name, int dtype, int mode);

DESCRIPTION

    Vlmopen_ugrid opens a ParVox unstructured grid definition file and returns a handle that can be used by vlmget_ugrid, vlmget_ugdim, vlmget_ugcells, and vlmget_ugvert. The name parameter can be either the basename of the voxel data file, or the complete name, including the .ugrid.nc extension. For example, to open the file ocean.vox.nc, vlmopen_vox can be called via vlmopen_env("ocean", ...) or vlmopen("ocean.vox.nc", ...). The dtype parameter can take either VL_RAW or VL_NETCDF, indicating the data file is in either the raw binary format or the NetCDF format, respectively. However, VL_RAW is currently not supported. The mode parameter is the NetCDF file mode, either NC_WRITE or NC_NOWRITE.

NOTES

    The raw binary format isn't not supported in the current version of the VLMeta library.
