Readers

Readers#

PyVista provides class based readers to have more control over reading data files. These classes allows for more fine-grained control over reading datasets from files. See pyvista.get_reader() for a list of file types supported.

Also, see Load data using a Reader for a full example using reader classes.

get_reader(filename[, force_ext])

Get a reader for fine-grained control of reading data files.
