==ExodusIIReader==
 
Reads an Exodus II file to produce an unstructured grid.The Exodus reader loads
Exodus II files and produces an unstructured grid output.
The default file extensions are .g, .e, .ex2, .ex2v2,
.exo, .gen, .exoII, .exii, .0, .00, .000, and .0000. The
file format is described fully at:
http://endo.sandia.gov/SEACAS/Documentation/exodusII.pdf.
Each Exodus file contains a single set of points with 2-D
or 3-D coordinates plus one or more blocks, sets, and
maps. Block group elements (or their bounding edges or
faces) of the same type together. Sets select subsets
(across all the blocks in a file) of elements, sides of
elements (which may be of mixed dimensionality), bounding
faces of volumetric elements, or bounding edges of
volumetric or areal elements. Each block or set may have
multiple result variables, each of which defines a value
per element, per timestep. The elements (cells), faces of
elements (when enumerated in face blocks), edges of
elements (when enumerated in edge blocks), and nodes
(points) in a file may be assigned an arbitrary integer
number by an element map, face map, edge map, or node map,
respectively. Usually, only a single map of each type
exists and is employed to assign a unique global ID to
entities across multiple files which partition a large
mesh for a distributed-memory calculation. However here
may be multiply maps of each type and there are no
constraints which force the integers to be unique. The
connectivity of elements is constant across all of the
timesteps in any single Exodus II file. However, multiple
files which specify a single time-evolution of a mesh may
be used to represent meshes which exhibit changes in
connectivity infrequently.

==NetCDF MPAS reader==
 
Reads unstructured grid MPAS data from a file.
This reader reads unstructured grid MPAS data from a file.
It creates a dual grid It assumes the grid is in the
global domain. By default, it creates a spherical view of
vertical layer 0. It assumes it is ocean data. It gives
several options to change the view to multilayer (all
vertical layers will have a thickness determined by the
value in the slider), lat/lon projection or atmospheric
(vertical layers go out away from the center of the
sphere, instead of down towards the center as they do for
ocean data). It doesn't handle data in the rectangular
domain. This is not a parallel reader. It expects one .nc
file of data. It can display cell or vertex-centered data,
but not edge data. When converted to the dual grid,
cell-centered data becomes vertex-centered and vice-versa.
NOTES: When using this reader, it is important that you
remember to do the following: 1. When changing a selected
variable, remember to select it also in the drop down box
to color by. It doesn't color by that variable
automatically 2. When selecting multilayer sphere view,
start with layer thickness around 100,000 3. When
selecting multilayer lat/lon view, start with layer
thickness around 10 4. Always click the -Z orientation
after making a switch from lat/lon to sphere, from single
to multilayer or changing thickness. 5. Be conservative on
the number of changes you make before hitting Apply, since
there may be bugs in this reader. Just make one change and
then hit Apply. For problems, contact Christine Ahrens
(cahrens@lanl.gov)

Reads 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 be noted that the CF convention is a superset of
the COARDS convention, so COARDS conventions will also be
recognized.

data fields, a StructuredGrid for the ground topology, and
a PolyData for turning turbine blades. The input file
(.wind) opened by the WindBlade reader is an ASCII
description of the data files expected. Data is
accumulated by the simulation processor and is written one
file per time step. WindBlade can deal with topology if a
flag is turned on and expects (x,y) data for the ground.
It also can deal with turning wind turbines from other
time step data files which gives polygon positions of
segments of the blades and data for each
segment.

==XML UniformGrid AMR Reader==
 
Reads a VTK XML-based data file containing a AMR datasets .
This reader reads Overlapping and Non-Overlapping AMR
datasets in VTK XML format. This reader reads the newer
version of the format. For version 1.0 and less, use
XMLHierarchicalBoxDataReader.
The expected file extensions is either .vthb or .vth.

The list of files to be read by the reader. Each file is
expected to be in the VTK XML polygonal dataset format. The standard
extension is .vtp. If more than one file is specified, the reader will
switch to file series mode in which it will pretend that it can support
time and provide one file per time step.

==XML Unstructured Grid Reader==
 
Reads serial VTK XML unstructured grid data files.
The XML Unstructured Grid reader reads the VTK XML
unstructured grid data file format. The standard extension
is .vtu. This reader also supports file
