read NRRD file format

[Git-me-outta-here]

I'd like to load volume files of the nrrd format. Can I do this directly with inviwo?

The tensorvis module (available to be compiled alongside inviwo core) contains an NDDR reader for reading tensor data (header file).

To read a scalar/vector volume, the processor would need some tweaks though.

I want to read a scalar volume.

I found a possible solution here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47761353/nrrd-to-nifti-file-conversion

The nifti files should be readable. I'll report back if I can make it work!

The python code works wonderfully. I just saw in the documentation that you have python processors. Could you support nrrd files directly using the pynrrd lib?

Sure. We use python libs in some of our processors, too. For example in the CHGCAR processor (https://github.com/inviwo/modules/blob/master/misc/vasp/python/processors/chgcarsource.py) or the import of CIF and PDB files (https://github.com/inviwo/modules/blob/master/molvis/molvispython/python/processors/MolecularStructureSource.py).
