[vtk-developers] Submitting VTK Reader Classes

[Brian Dotson]

Berk,
 
They are handle everything as far as I know. 
 
Fluent Version 6.3 has polyhedral meshes, and I don't support that yet
in this reader.   I have requested some test data from Fluent.  When I
get the test data I will add the polyhedral mesh stuff in.
 
The MFIX reader handles all of their data types.  I still need modify
this reader so it adheres to the VTK coding standard.  I will use
KWStyle to check it.  I used KWStyle for the fluent reader and it worked
great.
 
Thanks,
 
Brian

Sounds good. They would be good additions to VTK. Are they complete
implementations or do they implement a subset of the file formats?
