// .NAME vtkTecplotReader - A concrete class to read an ASCII Tecplot file.
//
// .SECTION Description
//  vtkTecplotReader parses an ASCII Tecplot file to get a vtkMultiBlockDataSet
//  object made up of several vtkDataSet objects, of which each is of type
//  either vtkStructuredGrid or vtkUnstructuredGrid. Each vtkDataSet object 
//  maintains the geometry, topology, and some associated attributes describing
//  physical properties.
//
//  Tecplot treats 3D coordinates (only one or two coordinates might be
//  explicitly specified in a file) as varaibles too, whose names (e.g.,
//  'X' / 'x' / 'I', 'Y' / 'y' / 'J', 'Z' / 'z' / 'K') are provided in the
//  variables list (the 'VARIABLES' section). These names are then followed
//  in the list by those of other traditional variables or attributes (node-
//  based and / or cell-based data with the mode specified via token 'VAR
//  LOCATION', to be extracted to create vtkPointData and / or vtkCellData). 
//  Each zone described afterwards (in the 'ZONE's section) provides the 
//  specific values of the aforementioned variables (including 3D coordinates), 
//  in the same order as indicated by the variable-names list, through either
//  POINT-packing (i.e., tuple-based storage) or BLOCK-packing (component-based
//  storage). In particular, the first / description line of  each zone tells 
//  the type of all the  constituent cells as the connectivity / topology 
//  information. In other words, the entire dataset is made up of multiple zones
//  (blocks), of which each maintains a set of cells of the same type ('BRICK', 
//  'TRIANGLE', 'QUADRILATERAL', 'TETRAHEDRON', and 'POINT' in Tecplot terms). 
//  In addition, the description line of each zone specifies the zone name, 
//  dimensionality information (size of each dimension for a structured zone), 
//  number of nodes, and number of cells. Information about the file format is 
//  available at http://download.tecplot.com/360/dataformat.pdf.
//  
// .SECTION Caveats
//  vtkTecplotReader is currently a simplified ASCII Tecplot reader and some 
//  functionalities (e.g., extraction of sections 'GEOMETRY', 'TEXT', and 'DATA
//  SETAUXDATA', access to multiple time steps, in addition to the construction
//  of vtkRectilinearGrid and vtkImageData objects) are not supported. 
//
// .SECTION Thanks
//  This class is a VTK implementation of VisIt's ASCII Tecplot reader.
