Add support for customized file formats

You can add support for your own customized file formats. For example, if you want to support .example file formats.

To do that,

  1. Create a example.py file in the folder additional_file_formats

  2. Implement a function def readexample_to_meshio(filepath):, which reads the file from filepath, then construct a meshio.Mesh object.

  3. Add meshio.register_format("example", [".example"], readexample_to_meshio, {".example": None}) in the global space

  4. Add from . import example in additional_file_formats/__init__.py

You can check additional_file_formats/bgeo.py as an example.
