OctaveDataReader (javaoctave 0.7.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- eu.simuline.octave.io.spi.OctaveDataReader

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractOctaveStringReader, AbstractPrimitiveMatrixReader, AbstractPrimitiveScalarReader, CellReader, ComplexMatrixReader, ComplexScalarReader, FakeRangeReader, ScalarStructReader, SparseBooleanReader, StructReader
```
public abstract class OctaveDataReader
extends Object
```
Service Provider Interface for the IO handler that can read OctaveObjects. The octave type which can be read is given by octaveType() whereas read(BufferedReader) performs reading.
The according implementations are in package eu.simuline.octave.io.impl and extend this class. These classes are registered in the jar-file under META-INF/services/eu.simuline.octave.io.OctaveDataReader.
