Detailed Description

ASCII and Binary Stereo Lithography File readers.

Author: Jason Kraftcheck

STL files contain no connectivity infomration. Each triangle is specified as by three sets of single-precision coordinate triples. This reader does not use ANY tolerance when comparing vertex locations to recover connectivity. The points must be EXACTLY equal (including the sign on zero values.) If the file was written by an application which represented connectivity explicitly, there is no reason for the vertex coordinates to be anything other than exactly equal.

For binary STL files, the defacto standard is that they be written with a little-endian byte order. The reader will attempt to determine the byte order automatically, and if it is ambiguous, will default to little-endian. The byte ordering may be forced by by creating an integer tag named "__STL_BYTE_ORDER" and setting a global/mesh value for the tag as 1 for big-endian or 0 for little-endian.

For binary files, this reader relies on the file size to determine the validity of the file and may use it in guessing the byte order. This should not be an issue, as the file size can be determined exactly from the number of triangles for a valid file. However, if for some reason the file is readable even though it is invalid (e.g. it is some hybrid file with STL data in the beginning and some app- specific data appended to the end of the file) the check on the file size can be disabled by giving the reader a something other than a regular file to read from. For example, on Unix-like systems, have the reader read from a FIFO instead of a file: mkfifo /tmp/fifo.stlb cat my_binary_file.stlb > /tmp/fifo.stlb and instruct the MOAB-based application to read from /tmp/fifo.stlb

Read tag values from a file.

Read the list if all integer tag values from the file for a tag that is a single integer value per entity.

Parameters

file_name	The file to read.
tag_name	The tag for which to read values
tag_values_out	Output: The list of tag values.
subset_list	An array of tag name and value sets specifying the subset of the file to read. If multiple tags are specified, the sets that match all tags (intersection) should be read.
subset_list_length	The length of the 'subset_list' array.
