vtkScivisExporter Class Reference

#include <vtkScivisExporter.h>

Detailed Description

Getting a scene out of a view, as an image or as geometry.

vtkScivisExporter is the part of a view that writes what it is showing to a file, reached as vtkScivisView::GetExporter(). Two things come out of a scene: a picture of it, and the geometry in it.

view->GetExporter()->SaveScreenshot("frame.png");
view->GetExporter()->ExportScene("scene.gltf");

Both pick their format from the file extension, so choosing one is choosing a name. Images are written as .png, .jpg, .tif or .bmp; geometry as .gltf, .obj, .vrml or .x3d.

How a capture comes out:
Magnification and TransparentBackground describe every capture this exporter makes rather than being repeated at each call, so an application that wants everything at twice the window size says so once. CaptureImage() hands back the picture instead of writing it, for an application that has somewhere else to put it.
What it does to the view:
The scene is brought up to date and drawn before anything is written, so what comes out is what is on screen. A transparent capture has to turn the background off to take it, and puts back what was there afterwards, so the view looks the same before and after.

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class.

Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkObjectBase.

void vtkScivisExporter::PrintSelf ( ostream & os,
vtkIndent indent )
overridevirtual

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses.

Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

◆ SetMagnification()

virtual void vtkScivisExporter::SetMagnification ( int )
virtual

How much larger than the render window a capture comes out, so 2 gives an image twice the width and height.

Default is 1.

◆ GetMagnification()

virtual int vtkScivisExporter::GetMagnification ( )
virtual

How much larger than the render window a capture comes out, so 2 gives an image twice the width and height.

Default is 1.

◆ SetTransparentBackground()

virtual void vtkScivisExporter::SetTransparentBackground ( bool )
virtual

Whether a capture has a transparent background rather than the view's.

Default is off.

The image comes back with four components when this is on. Taking it means turning the view's background off for the moment it takes to read the window, which is put back afterwards.

◆ GetTransparentBackground()

virtual bool vtkScivisExporter::GetTransparentBackground ( )
virtual

Whether a capture has a transparent background rather than the view's.

Default is off.

The image comes back with four components when this is on. Taking it means turning the view's background off for the moment it takes to read the window, which is put back afterwards.

◆ TransparentBackgroundOn()

virtual void vtkScivisExporter::TransparentBackgroundOn ( )
virtual

Whether a capture has a transparent background rather than the view's.

Default is off.

The image comes back with four components when this is on. Taking it means turning the view's background off for the moment it takes to read the window, which is put back afterwards.

◆ TransparentBackgroundOff()

virtual void vtkScivisExporter::TransparentBackgroundOff ( )
virtual

Whether a capture has a transparent background rather than the view's.

Default is off.

The image comes back with four components when this is on. Taking it means turning the view's background off for the moment it takes to read the window, which is put back afterwards.

◆ SaveScreenshot()

bool vtkScivisExporter::SaveScreenshot ( const char * filename)

Write a picture of the scene, as .png, .jpg, .tif or .bmp.

Returns false if the name has no extension this understands, or none at all.

◆ CaptureImage()

vtkSmartPointer< vtkImageData > vtkScivisExporter::CaptureImage ( )

The same picture, handed back rather than written.

Returns null if the window cannot be read.

◆ ExportScene()

bool vtkScivisExporter::ExportScene ( const char * filename)

Write the geometry in the scene, as .gltf, .obj, .vrml/.wrl or .x3d.

Returns false if the name has no extension this understands.

This is the scene rather than a picture of it, so Magnification and TransparentBackground mean nothing here.
