/**
 * @class   vtkGenericDataObjectReader
 * @brief   class to read any type of vtk data object
 *
 * vtkGenericDataObjectReader is a class that provides instance variables and methods
 * to read any type of data object in Visualization Toolkit (vtk) format.  The
 * output type of this class will vary depending upon the type of data
 * file. Convenience methods are provided to return the data as a particular
 * type. (See text for format description details).
 * The superclass of this class, vtkDataReader, provides many methods for
 * controlling the reading of the data file, see vtkDataReader for more
 * information.
 * @warning
 * Binary files written on one system may not be readable on other systems.
 * @sa
 * vtkDataReader vtkGraphReader vtkPolyDataReader vtkRectilinearGridReader
 * vtkStructuredPointsReader vtkStructuredGridReader vtkTableReader
 * vtkTreeReader vtkUnstructuredGridReader
