A class that is used to read data written in deal.II intermediate format back in, so that it can be written out in any of the other supported graphics formats. This class has two main purposes:
The first use of this class is so that application programs can defer the decision of which graphics format to use until after the program has been run. The data is written in intermediate format into a file, and later on it can then be converted into any graphics format you wish. This may be useful, for example, if you want to convert it to gnuplot format to get a quick glimpse and later on want to convert it to OpenDX format as well to get a high quality version of the data. The present class allows to read this intermediate format back into the program, and allows it to be written in any other supported format using the relevant functions of the base class.
The second use is mostly useful in parallel programs: rather than having one central process generate the graphical output for the entire program, one can let each process generate the graphical data for the cells it owns, and write it into a separate file in intermediate format. Later on, all these intermediate files can then be read back in and merged together, a process that is fast compared to generating the data in the first place. The use of the intermediate format is mostly because it allows separate files to be merged, while this is almost impossible once the data has been written out in any of the supported established graphics formats.
This second use scenario is explained in some detail in the step-18 example program.
In order to read data back into this object, you have to know the template parameters for the space dimension which were used when writing the data. If this knowledge is available at compile time, then this is no problem. However, if it is not (such as in a simple format converter), then it needs to be figured out at run time, even though the compiler already needs it at compile time. A way around using the DataOutBase::determine_intermediate_format_dimensions() function.
Note that the intermediate format is what its name suggests: a direct representation of internal data. It isn't standardized and will change whenever we change our internal representation. You can only expect to process files written in this format using the same version of deal.II that was used for writing.

Definition at line 9113 of file data_out_base.cc.
void DataOutReader< dim, spacedim >::read_whole_parallel_file | ( | std::istream & | in | ) |
Read all data previously written using DataOutBase::write_deal_II_intermediate_in_parallel() from all MPI ranks into this data structure.
Definition at line 9224 of file data_out_base.cc.
void DataOutReader< dim, spacedim >::merge | ( | const DataOutReader< dim, spacedim > & | other | ) |
This function can be used to merge the patches read by the other object into the patches that this present object stores. This is sometimes handy if one has, for example, a domain decomposition algorithm where each block is represented by a DoFHandler of its own, but one wants to output the solution on all the blocks at the same time. Alternatively, it may also be used for parallel programs, where each process only generates output for its share of the cells, even if all processes can see all cells.
For this to work, the input files for the present object and the given argument need to have the same number of output vectors, and they need to use the same number of subdivisions per patch. The output will probably look rather funny if patches in both objects overlap in space.
If you call read() for this object after merging in patches, the previous state is overwritten, and the merged-in patches are lost.
This function will fail if either this or the other object did not yet set up any patches.

This functions returns information about how the individual components of output files that consist of more than one data set are to be interpreted.
It returns a list of index pairs and corresponding name indicating which components of the output are to be considered vector-valued rather than just a collection of scalar data. The index pairs are inclusive; for example, if we have a Stokes problem in 2d with components (u,v,p), then the corresponding vector data range should be (0,1), and the returned list would consist of only a single element with a tuple such as (0,1,"velocity").
Since some of the derived classes do not know about vector data, this function has a default implementation that simply returns an empty string, meaning that all data is to be considered a collection of scalar fields.

Some visualization programs, such as ParaView, can read several separate VTU files to parallelize visualization. In that case, you need a .pvtu
file that describes which VTU files form a group. The DataOutInterface::write_pvtu_record() function can generate such a centralized record. Likewise, DataOutInterface::write_visit_record() does the same for older versions of VisIt (although VisIt can also read pvtu
records since version 2.5.1). Finally, DataOutInterface::write_pvd_record() can be used to group together the files that jointly make up a time dependent simulation.

Collective MPI call to write the solution from all participating nodes (those in the given communicator) to a single compressed .vtu file on a shared file system. The communicator can be a sub communicator of the one used by the computation. This routine uses MPI I/O to achieve high performance on parallel filesystems. In order to use this function, you need to be using a file system that supports parallel MPI I/O, and you will get error messages about failed MPI calls if you do not. Also see DataOutInterface::write_vtu().

Some visualization programs, such as ParaView and VisIt, can read several separate VTU files that all form part of the same simulation, in order to parallelize visualization. In that case, you need a .pvtu
file that describes which VTU files (written, for example, through the DataOutInterface::write_vtu() function) form a group. The current function can generate such a centralized record.
The central record file generated by this function contains a list of (scalar or vector) fields that describes which fields can actually be found in the individual files that comprise the set of parallel VTU files along with the names of these files. This function gets the names and types of fields through the get_dataset_names() and get_nonscalar_data_ranges() functions of this class. The second argument to this function specifies the names of the files that form the parallel set.

This function writes several .vtu files and a .pvtu record in parallel and constructs the filenames automatically. It is a combination of DataOutInterface::write_vtu() or DataOutInterface::write_vtu_in_parallel(), and DataOutInterface::write_pvtu_record().
For example, running write_vtu_with_pvtu_record("output/", "solution", 3, comm, 4, 2)
on 10 processes generates the files
where the .0.vtu
file contains the output of the first half of the processes grouped together, and the .1.vtu
the data from the remaining half.
A specified directory
and a filename_without_extension
form the first part of the filename. The filename is then extended with a counter
labeling the current timestep/iteration/etc., the processor ID, and finally the .vtu/.pvtu ending. Since the number of timesteps to be written depends on the application, the number of digits to be reserved in the filename can be specified as parameter n_digits_for_counter
, and the number is not padded with leading zeros if this parameter is left at its default value numbers::invalid_unsigned_int. If more than one file identifier is needed (e.g. time step number and iteration counter of solver), the last identifier is used as counter
, while all other identifiers have to be added to filename_without_extension
when calling this function.
In a parallel setting, several files are typically written per time step. The number of files written in parallel depends on the number of MPI processes (see parameter mpi_communicator
), and a specified number of n_groups
with default value 0. The background is that VTU file output supports grouping files from several CPUs into a given number of files using MPI I/O when writing on a parallel filesystem. The default value of n_groups
is 0, meaning that every MPI rank will write one file. A value of 1 will generate one big file containing the solution over the whole domain, while a larger value will create n_groups
files (but not more than there are MPI ranks). For all values other than n_groups==0
, this function calls write_vtu_in_parallel(); for this function to work you need to be using a file system that supports parallel MPI I/O, and you will get error messages about failed MPI calls if you do not.
Note that only one processor needs to generate the .pvtu file, where processor zero is chosen to take over this job.
The return value is the filename of the centralized file for the pvtu record.
