DREAM.3D v6 User Manual

IO (Input)
This Filter reads ASCII data from any text-based file and imports the data into DREAM.3D-style arrays. The user uses the Filter's wizard to specify which file to import, how the data is formatted, what to call each array, and what type each array should be.
Note: This Filter is intended to read data that is column-oriented, such that each created DREAM.3D array corresponds to a column of data in the ASCII file. Therefore, this Filter will only import scalar arrays. If multiple columns are in fact different components of the same array, then the columns may be imported as separate arrays and then combined in the correct order using the Combine Attribute Arrays Filter.
After clicking the Import Data... button and selecting a file, a wizard appears. The user can choose whether their data is Delimited or Fixed Width:
If the user chose Delimited, the next screen allows the user to pick delimiters. The options are Tab, Semicolon, Comma, and Space. The user may also elect to treat consecutive delimiters as one delimiter.
On the last page, the user can set the following information:
If the data does not have any headers, the user can set a string value for each column. These values will be used as the name of the Attribute Array in DREAM.3D.
