Read measurement results from a file
#include "dipio_measurement.h"
dip_Error dipio_MeasurementRead ( measurement, filename, format, addExtensions, recognised )
This function reads measurement data from a file and puts it in measurement. measurement must be allocated before calling this function. If format is 0, all different MeasurementRead functions are called in sequence until the correct format has been found. If you know the format, get the correct format ID through the registry functions.
The boolean addExtensions specifies whether MeasurementRead should try to add file format extensions to filename, if the registered file format reader fails to recognise filename straight away. The extensions are provided by the registered file readers.
If recognised is not zero, MeasurementRead will set it to DIP_TRUE when it has been able to read filename, and it will set it to DIP_FALSE when it is not able to read the file. No error will be generated in this case.
There are currently no measurement reading functions, so this function will always fail.
