Import and Export #!N #!EC #!N #!N The first two tools 
listed, along with ReadImage and WriteImage, are concerned with the flow 
of data into and out of a visual program. The others 
typically process data immediately after it has been imported. #!N #!I0 
#!N #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!Lexport,dxall844 h Export  #!EL  #!EF #!I50 #!N Exports Objects 
created in Data Explorer to an external data file (in Data 
Explorer file format). #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!Limport,dxall871 h Import  #!EL  #!EF #!I50 #!N 
Brings data into Data Explorer from a specified file. If the 
file contains more than one variable or contains multiple frames of 
data, portions of the data can be specified for importation. Supported 
formats are native Data Explorer format, CDF, netCDF, HDF, and General 
Array format. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!Limpspsh,dxall872 h ImportSpreadsheet  #!EL  #!EF #!I50 #!N Brings 
data into Data Explorer from spreadsheet, or tabular, data file. #!N 
#!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!Linclude,dxall873 h Include  #!EL  #!EF #!I50 #!N Includes (or excludes) points 
based on their data values (e.g., removing all points with data 
values greater than 9.3). It can also be used to remove 
data marked as invalid. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!Lpartiti,dxall902 h Partition  #!EL  #!EF #!I50 
#!N Subdivides data to take advantage of parallelism for Data Explorer 
SMP. You can control the level of subdivision. #!N #!I0 #!N 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!Lreadima,dxall915 h ReadImage  #!EL  #!EF #!I50 #!N Reads an image from an external 
file. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!Lreduce,dxall918 h Reduce  #!EL  #!EF #!I50 #!N Reduces the 
resolution of a data set, filtering and resampling the set at 
a lower resolution. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!Lrefine,dxall919 h Refine  #!EL  #!EF #!I50 #!N 
Increases the number of samples in a data set. This module 
interpolates data values or colors at the new positions from the 
data or color values at the original positions. It can also 
convert connections from quads or faces to triangles, and from cubes 
to tetrahedra. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!Lslab,dxall949 h Slab  #!EL  #!EF #!I50 #!N Takes 
a positional subset of a data set with regular connections (cubes, 
quads, and lines). You can specify along which axis to take 
the subset, where the slab should begin, and how thick the 
slab is to be. The module performs no interpolation. #!N #!I0 
#!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!Lslice,dxall950 h Slice  #!EL  #!EF #!I50 #!N Takes a positional subset of 
a data set with regular connections, like the Slab module. However, 
unlike the Slab module, it creates output with a dimensionality 1 
less than the dimensionality of the input. For example, you can 
import a data set as a 4-dimensional grid, with the fourth 
dimension representing time. You can then use the Slice module to 
create 3-dimensional slices of the data set. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   
 #!Lstack,dxall952 h Stack  #!EL  #!EF #!I50 #!N Stacks a series of  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   n #!EF 
-dimensional Fields to form a single (  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   n #!EF +1)-dimensional 
Field. This module can also be used to increase the dimensionality 
of a single Field. #!N #!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!Ltranspo,dxall970 h Transpose  #!EL  #!EF #!I50 
#!N Transposes the positions of a Field. For example, it can 
interchange the  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   x #!EF and  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   y #!EF axes. #!N 
#!I0 #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*    #!Lwriteim,dxall981 h WriteImage  #!EL  #!EF #!I50 #!N Writes an image to 
an external file in a specified format. The same functionality is 
provided by the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   SaveImage #!EF option of the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   File 
#!EF pull-down menu of the Image window. #!I0 #!N #!N #!N
