==Restarted Sim Exodus Reader==
Read collections of Exodus output files from simulations that were restarted.
When a simulation that outputs exodus files is restarted, typically you get a new set of output files.  When you read them in your visualization, you often want to string these file sets together as if it was one continuous dump of files.  This reader allows you to specify a metadata file that will implicitly string the files together.<br>

If this property is set to 1, a cell array will be generated that stores the active status of a block.
Some simulations overload the Exodus time steps to represent mode
shapes.  In this case, it does not make sense to iterate over the
"time steps", because they are not meant to be played in order.
Rather, each represents the vibration at a different "mode."
Setting the value of this property to 1 changes the semantics of the reader to not
report the time steps to downstream filters.

==TIFF Reader==

Read collections of SPCTH files from simulations that were restarted.


The TIFF reader reads TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) files, and the output is a uniform rectilinear (image/volume) dataset. The default file extension is .png.<br>
When a CTH simulation is restarted, typically you get a new set of output files. When you read them in your visualization, you often want to string these file sets together as if it was one continuous dump of files. This reader allows you to specify a metadata file that will implicitly string the files together.<br>

Read regular arrays from netCDF files. Will also read any topological information specified by the COARDS and CF conventions.

Reads arrays from netCDF files into structured VTK data sets. In
the absence of any other information, the files will be read as
image data. This reader will also look for meta information
specified by the CF convention that specify things like topology
and time. This information can cause the output to be a nonuniform
rectilinear grid or curvilinear (structured) grid. Details on the
CF convention can be found at http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/. It should

Replace Fill Value With Nan
(ReplaceFillValueWithNan)

If on, any float or double variable read that has a _FillValue attribute will have that fill value replaced with a not-a-number (NaN) value. The advantage of setting these to NaN values is that, if implemented properly by the system and careful math operations are used, they can implicitly be ignored by calculations like finding the range of the values. That said, this option should be used with caution as VTK does not fully support NaN values and therefore odd calculations may occur.

0

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.

The bias of the vertical component of spherical coordinates. It is common to write the vertical component with respect to something other than the center of the sphere (for example, the surface). In this case, it might be necessary to scale and/or bias the vertical height. The height will become height*scale + bias. Keep in mind that if the positive attribute of the vertical dimension is down, then the height is negated. The scaling will be adjusted if it results in invalid (negative) vertical values.

Vertical Scale
(VerticalScale)

The scale of the vertical component of spherical coordinates. It is common to write the vertical component with respect to something other than the center of the sphere (for example, the surface).
