Stores the userData (for example the filename string) in the m_data protected variable.
(Inherited from SoVolumeReader.) |
| ToString |
Converts this SoBase structure to a human readable string.
(Inherited from SoBase.) |
| Touch | Marks an instance as modified, simulating a change to it. |
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | DataConverted |
true if the data is already organized in tiles for the LDM module.
In other words, all drivers that directly support the GetTile() method should
set DataConverted to true.
If true, VolumeViz will use the ReadTile method and will NOT call GetSubSlice().
(Inherited from SoVolumeReader.) |
| IsDisposable | ISafeDisposable interface implementation.
(Inherited from SoDisposable.) |
| IsRGBA | Returns true if the data set contains RGBA color values. |
| IsThreadSafe | Should return true if the reader is thread safe. |
| UserData |
Gets or sets the user data to be contained by the field container.
(Inherited from SoFieldContainer.) |
RemarksVOL is a simple volume interchange format (see "Introduction to Volume Rendering", Lichtenbelt, Crane, Naqvi, 1998). The VolumeViz reader can load files containing 8- or 16-bit voxels.
The following is a slightly simplified description of the VOL file format.
All values in a VOL file are binary format, stored in "big-endian" order. In other words, values can used directly on most UNIX machines (SPARC, MIPS, PA-RISC, etc), but must be byte swapped on most Windows and Linux (X86) machines.
A VOL file consists of a variable length header followed by data values. The VolumeViz reader looks at the first seven or ten header values (depending on the value of magicNumber). All values in the header are 4 bytes long and are 32 bit integer or float as listed below. The header contains the total length of the header in bytes and the data values begin at this offset in the file. Data values are either 1 or 2 bytes long (8- or 16- bit integers). Data values are stored as a stack of images, in other words Z slices (X increasing fastest, then Y, then Z).
The header consists of:
magicNumber (int) should be 192837465 or 192837466
headerSize (int) in bytes
width (int) in voxels
height (int) in voxels
depth (int) in voxels
bitsPerVoxel (int) either 8 or 16 are valid
indexBits (int) not used
If "magicNumber" equals 192837466 (decimal) then header also contains three scale factors used to define nonuniform voxel spacing:
scaleX (float)
scaleY (float)
scaleZ (float)
