The + reader for AVS is a module called <b>Read_IEEEIO</b> and + provides roughly the same user interface as the HDF reader + module provided by NCSA. You use the file browser to select an + IEEEIO file to open (the file extension for this type of file is + <i>.ieee</i> or <i>.raw</i>. If more than one record is found + in the file then an integer dial will appear that allows you to + select records in the file.<p> + + By default, the module will set the extents of the dataset to be + equal to the dimensions of the object with an origin at 0,0,0 + (eg. if your object is an array with dimensions {30,40,50} + then the extents will be set so that the origin of the data in + 3D space is {0.0,0.0,0.0} and its maximum extent will be + {30.0,40.0,50.0}).
