Custom File SOP

[Kalina 1]

I currently am using a File SOP and a GEO_IOTranslator to read in a custom data file. However, I'd like the user to be able to edit some parameters when reading in the file, so I would like to create a custom File-like SOP. How would I go about doing this?

I'm trying to create a SOP based on SOP_Star.C, but that's probably not the best resource. How do I load and read a file? Could you point me at some examples to look at?

You just supply parameter for the file and read it into the native geometry data structures as you've already done with your custom GEO_IOTranslator. Here's one random example I picked off from the Cortex project
