User Defined Reader Version 2.0 API
This chapter will describe the EnSight User Defined Reader Version 2.0 API. It was designed to be
considerably more efficient than the 1.0 API and has a number of new features that later versions of
EnSight can take advantage of.
If you are producing a new reader, or considering upgrading an existing version 1.0 API reader, please see
the discussion on the philosophical differences between the two API’s in the Overview chapter under
section, User Defined Reader APIs.
If you wish to convert an existing 1.0 API reader to the 2.0 API, see Section 2.5, Converting a 1.0 API
Reader to a 2.0 API READER.
The process for producing the dynamic shared library is described in the Overview chapter under section,
How To Produce A User Defined Reader.
