Reads in a BYU file and constructs field data from it.
module ReadMovieBYUFile <src_file="rdmovbyu.c"> {
ReadMovieBYUParams &ReadMovieBYUParams <NEportLevels={2,0}>;
string filename => ReadMovieBYUParams.filename;

};
ReadMovieBYUFile reads in a BYU data file and generates field data from the information contained in the file. The BYU file format was created by the Brigham Young University and contains the information necessary for reconstructing one or more surfaces consisting of 3-D polygons.
&ReadMovieBYUParams
Reference to the parameter block, which contains real instances of the parameters for the ReadMovieBYUFile function.
filename
Name of the BYU file to be loaded. The parameter is of type string. Normally the value of this parameter is found by referring to the parameter block, which is referenced by the &ReadMovieBYUParams input.
out
The output field containing field data constructed from the data present in the BYU file.
The low-level ReadMovieBYUFile module is used in the Functional Macro ReadMovieBYU and the User Macro read_movie_byu. Additionally, this macro also uses the ReadMovieBYUParams parameter block group object, as does the ReadMovieBYUUI UI Macro.
An example application ReadMovieBYUEg is provided, which uses the read_movie_byu macro to load a BYU file that is then animated by the read_movie_animate macro.
iac_proj/rdmovbyu/rdmbmods.v contains the ReadMovieBYUParams group and the ReadMovieBYUFile module V definitions. The file also contains several other module definitions.
The low-level ReadMovieBYUMods library containing the module ReadMovieBYUFile does not specify a process. By default the express process will be used.
