Data Descriptors
----------------


   
   AutoDetectFormat
       When this options is enabled, the reader will try to
       automatically figure out various settings for a binary file. The other
       options are ignored. Does not work for text (ascii) files.
   
   BinaryFile
       This property indicates whether the data files are
       binary.
   
   ByteOrder
       This property specifies the byte order of any binary
       file(s).
   
   DoublePrecision
       This property specifies whether floating points values
       are in double precision.
   
   FileName
       This property specifies the .xyz (geometry) file name
       for the PLOT3D reader.
   
   ForceRead
       This property indicates whether to attempt to read the
       file even if it appears corrupt
   
   FunctionFileName
       This property specifies the .f (function) file name for
       the PLOT3D reader.
   
   Functions
       This property lists which functions (point-centered
       arrays) to compute.
   
   HasByteCount
       This property indicates whether this file uses Fortran
       leading-trailing byte counts.
   
   IBlanking
       This property indicates whether this dataset has
       visibility information.
   
   MultiGrid
       This property indicates whether these files have
       multiple-block information.
   
   QFileName
       The list of .q (solution) files for the PLOT3D reader.
       There can be more than one. If more that one file is specified, the
       reader will switch to file-series mode in which it will pretend that it
       can support time and provide one file per time step.
   
   TimestepValues
       Available timestep values.
   
   TwoDimensionalGeometry
       This property indicates whether the data is two- or
       three-dimensional.

Methods inherited from SourceProxy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


   
   FileNameChanged(self)
       Called when the filename of a source proxy is changed.
   
   GetCellDataInformation(self)
       Returns the associated cell data information.
   
   GetDataInformation(self, idx=None)
       This method returns a DataInformation wrapper around a
       vtkPVDataInformation
   
   GetFieldDataInformation(self)
       Returns the associated cell data information.
   
   GetPointDataInformation(self)
       Returns the associated point data information.
   
   UpdatePipeline(self, time=None)
       This method updates the server-side VTK pipeline and the associated
       data information. Make sure to update a source to validate the output
       meta-data.
   
   UpdatePipelineInformation(self)
       This method updates the meta-data of the server-side VTK pipeline and
       the associated information properties
   
   __getitem__(self, idx)
       Given a slice, int or string, returns the corresponding
       output port
   
   

Methods inherited from Proxy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


   
   GetProperty(self, name)
       Given a property name, returns the property object.
   
   GetPropertyValue(self, name)
       Returns a scalar for properties with 1 elements, the property
       itself for vectors.
   
   InitializeFromProxy(self, aProxy, update=True)
       Constructor. Assigns proxy to self.SMProxy, updates the server
       object as well as register the proxy in _pyproxies dictionary.
   
   ListProperties(self)
       Returns a list of all property names on this proxy.
   
   SetPropertyWithName(self, pname, arg)
       Generic method for setting the value of a property.
   
   __del__(self)
       Destructor. Cleans up all observers as well as remove
       the proxy from the _pyproxies dictionary
   
   __eq__(self, other)
       Returns true if the underlying SMProxies are the same.
   
   __getattr__(self, name)
       With the exception of a few overloaded methods,
       returns the SMProxy method
   
   __init__(self, \*\*args)
       Default constructor. It can be used to initialize properties
       by passing keyword arguments where the key is the name of the
       property. In addition registrationGroup and registrationName (optional)
       can be specified (as keyword arguments) to automatically register
       the proxy with the proxy manager.
   
   __iter__(self)
       Creates an iterator for the properties.
   
   __ne__(self, other)
       Returns false if the underlying SMProxies are the same.
   
   __setattr__(self, name, value)
   
   add_attribute(self, name, value)
