Crate xdmf

Expand description

A library for writing XDMF files, which are commonly used in scientific simulations for visualizing datasets on meshes, for example with Paraview.

The XDMF (eXtensible Data Model and Format) stores the metadata in XML files and the actual data in different formats, most commonly in HDF5 files.

Re-exports§

xdmf_elements: This module contains the main XDMF elements along with their serialization logic.

DataInfo: Metadata about one field the reader found at a time step, sized so the caller can allocate a buffer before reading the data.
TimeSeriesDataWriter: Writer for time series data in XDMF format. Can be used after writing the mesh with TimeSeriesWriter::write_mesh.
TimeSeriesReader: Reads an XDMF time series: the parsed light data, the mesh’s metadata (including, for a mesh with submeshes, which points and cells each one holds), and every read call against it.
TimeSeriesWriter: Writer for time series data in XDMF format.
TimeStep: A single time step being written, handed to the closure passed to TimeSeriesDataWriter::write_time_step.

DataAttribute: Type of the data (scalar, vector, tensor, etc.)
DataStorage: Type of storage used for the heavy data (e.g. ASCII or HDF5)
Error: The error type for all fallible operations in this crate.
ErrorKind: Stable, fieldless category for an Error, mirroring std::io::ErrorKind.
SubmeshCells: The cells of one submesh, as TimeSeriesWriter::write_mesh_with_submeshes takes them.
Values: Wrapper around different types of data, used to provide a unified interface.

ConnectivityIndex: A type usable as a connectivity index: u32, u64, i32 or i64
Coordinate: A type usable as a point coordinate: f32 or f64
ValueType: A type a TimeSeriesReader read call can fill a buffer with: f32, f64, i32, i64, u32 or u64, mirroring the Values variants.

is_hdf5_enabled: Check if the hdf5 feature is enabled.
mpi_safe_create_dir_all: Create directories in a way that is safe for MPI applications.
