vtkPCosmoReader

Section: Visualization Toolkit Parallel Classes

Usage

vtkPCosmoReader creates a vtkUnstructuredGrid from a binary cosmology file. The file contains fields for: x_position, x_velocity (float) y_position, y_velocity (float) z-position, z_velocity (float) mass (float) identification tag (integer)

If the file contains particle information x,y,z is the location of the particle in simulation space with a velocity vector and a mass which will be the same for all particles.

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

  obj = vtkPCosmoReader
