cape.dkit.tecdatfile: ASCII Tecplot(R) column files¶
This module contains a basic interface in the spirit of
cape.dkit.ftypes for ASCII tecplot .dat files. It
creates a class, TecDatFile that does not rely on the popular
numpy.loadtxt() function.
If possible, the column names (which become keys in the
dict-like class) are read from the header. If the file
begins with multiple comment lines, the column names are read from the
final comment before the beginning of data.
