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.

◆ PrintSelf()

void vtkSerializer::PrintSelf	(	ostream &	os,

	)

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.

◆ SerializeJSON()

nlohmann::json vtkSerializer::SerializeJSON ( vtkObjectBase * objectBase )

Serialize the VTK object.

◆ RegisterHandler()

void vtkSerializer::RegisterHandler	(	const std::type_info &	type,
		HandlerType	handler
	)

The handlers are invoked to serialize an object of type type.

Note: If type does not have a handler, the serializer will print a stack trace to help you understand the reason for failure.

◆ GetHandler()

HandlerType vtkSerializer::GetHandler ( const std::type_info & type ) const

The handlers are invoked to serialize an object of type type.

Note: If type does not have a handler, the serializer will print a stack trace to help you understand the reason for failure.

◆ UnRegisterHandler()

bool vtkSerializer::UnRegisterHandler ( const std::type_info & type )

The handlers are invoked to serialize an object of type type.

Note: If type does not have a handler, the serializer will print a stack trace to help you understand the reason for failure.

◆ vtkSetSmartPointerMacro()

vtkSerializer::vtkSetSmartPointerMacro	(	Context	,
		vtkMarshalContext
	)

Get/Set the marshalling context.

The vtkSerializer does not track state of any object. However, it leverages the context to prevent re-serialization when there are circular dependencies among VTK objects. The context does much more than just preventing recursive serialization. The serializer records parent-child relationships in the context using it's ScopedParentTracker API.

◆ vtkGetSmartPointerMacro()

vtkSerializer::vtkGetSmartPointerMacro	(	Context	,
		vtkMarshalContext
	)

Get/Set the marshalling context.

The vtkSerializer does not track state of any object. However, it leverages the context to prevent re-serialization when there are circular dependencies among VTK objects. The context does much more than just preventing recursive serialization. The serializer records parent-child relationships in the context using it's ScopedParentTracker API.
