Full package name: mesquite.trees.ManyTreesFromFile.ManyTreesFromFile Duty: Tree Source (mesquite.lib.duties.TreeSource)
Module Explanation
Supplies trees directly from a file, without bringing the contained tree block entirely into memory. This is a special purpose module designed to allow much larger blocks of trees to be used within constraints of memory, but will make some calculations slower. Except for this special use, we recommend you use Include or Link from the file menu to access external tree files. This module does NOT copy the trees into your main data file, and so if you save your main data file then move it or the tree file, the data file will no longer be able to find the trees. This module does not know how many trees are in the file, and hence may attempt to read files beyond the number in the file.
