#MATLAB READ VTK FILE FORMAT HOW TO#
How to read xml file with binary data into Matlab? Asked 3 years, 8 months ago. You will find more info on the format of 'raw' rather than 'base64' data herebut the short answer is it's encoded like the following.
Note, that this isn't the whole answer to reading 'raw' type data in the AppendedData section which is poorly documented. The answer to determining the position was to calculate the character bit length from the first line read in like so. In case it's of interest, the actual vtk file format specification can be found here pdf.
At the end of reading the xml data fgetl leaves me at the file position corresponding to the start of the line with the underscore. This just leaves the reading in the binary portion part. I can then parse the xml to determine the data structure. I can then create a temporary xml flie by adding the missing closing tags and reading this in using xmlread. However, I can successfully read in the xml portion of the file using fgetl to read up to the AppendedData tag. Matlab's xmlread can't read this file, I presume because of the binary portion. The format of this is normal xml, but with a section 'AppendedData' where there is an underscore followed by binary data, the xml describes where each of the data sequences start and end in this data. This is a VTK data file, specifically the unstructured gid type, for which the. I would like to be able to read in an xml formal file which has a section containing binary data.
