# Usage

The class vtkGenericEnSightReader allows the user to read an EnSight data set without a priori knowledge of what type of EnSight data set it is.

To create an instance of class vtkGenericEnSightReader, simply invoke its constructor as follows

      obj = vtkGenericEnSightReader

- `obj.SetByteOrderToBigEndian ()` - Set the byte order of the file (remember, more Unix workstations write big endian whereas PCs write little endian). Default is big endian (since most older PLOT3D files were written by workstations).

- `int = obj.GetByteOrder ()` - Set the byte order of the file (remember, more Unix workstations write big endian whereas PCs write little endian). Default is big endian (since most older PLOT3D files were written by workstations).
- `string = obj.GetByteOrderAsString ()` - Set the byte order of the file (remember, more Unix workstations write big endian whereas PCs write little endian). Default is big endian (since most older PLOT3D files were written by workstations).
- `string = obj.GetGeometryFileName ()` - Get the Geometry file name. Made public to allow access from apps requiring detailed info about the Data contents
- `obj.SetParticleCoordinatesByIndex (int )` - The MeasuredGeometryFile should list particle coordinates from 0->N-1. If a file is loaded where point Ids are listed from 1-N the Id to points reference will be wrong and the data will be generated incorrectly. Setting ParticleCoordinatesByIndex to true will force all Id's to increment from 0->N-1 (relative to their order in the file) and regardless of the actual Id of of the point. Warning, if the Points are listed in non sequential order then setting this flag will reorder them.
- `int = obj.GetParticleCoordinatesByIndex ()` - The MeasuredGeometryFile should list particle coordinates from 0->N-1. If a file is loaded where point Ids are listed from 1-N the Id to points reference will be wrong and the data will be generated incorrectly. Setting ParticleCoordinatesByIndex to true will force all Id's to increment from 0->N-1 (relative to their order in the file) and regardless of the actual Id of of the point. Warning, if the Points are listed in non sequential order then setting this flag will reorder them.
- `obj.ParticleCoordinatesByIndexOn ()` - The MeasuredGeometryFile should list particle coordinates from 0->N-1. If a file is loaded where point Ids are listed from 1-N the Id to points reference will be wrong and the data will be generated incorrectly. Setting ParticleCoordinatesByIndex to true will force all Id's to increment from 0->N-1 (relative to their order in the file) and regardless of the actual Id of of the point. Warning, if the Points are listed in non sequential order then setting this flag will reorder them.
- `obj.ParticleCoordinatesByIndexOff ()` - The MeasuredGeometryFile should list particle coordinates from 0->N-1. If a file is loaded where point Ids are listed from 1-N the Id to points reference will be wrong and the data will be generated incorrectly. Setting ParticleCoordinatesByIndex to true will force all Id's to increment from 0->N-1 (relative to their order in the file) and regardless of the actual Id of of the point. Warning, if the Points are listed in non sequential order then setting this flag will reorder them.
