Data Sets

The data is read in from an HDF Vset File . This information is then used to build IPlot Data Objects. The IPlot Data Objects are broken down into Geometry Data, Mesh Data and Miscellaneous Data.

The toplevel definition of a data set is found in the file dataset.h

  • Keeping Track of Multiple Data Sets
  • Geometry Data
  • Mesh Data
  • Misc Data

    • Below is a rough outline of the overall data structure.
