If you're format is relatively simple, you can overload
ExecuteInformation() which should read header information and set the
proper parameters.  The rest should happen by itself.  As to which
parameters should be set and what they mean, I got my info reading
throws all the vtk*Reader.  I agree, there is not much information
about doing that kind of thing.
