Detailed Description

base class for writing debug output to a console.

Date:

2000/12/10 20:08:13

Revision:

1.14

This class is used to encapsulate all text output, so that it will work with operating systems that have a stdout and stderr, and ones that do not. (i.e windows does not). Sub-classes can be provided which can redirect the output to a window.

Examples:

Member Function Documentation

virtual const char* vtkOutputWindow::GetClassName (    )  [virtual]

Return the class name as a string. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkObject. Reimplemented in vtkFileOutputWindow, and vtkWin32OutputWindow.

int vtkOutputWindow::IsTypeOf (  const char *    type )  [static]

Return 1 if this class type 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 vtkObject. Reimplemented in vtkFileOutputWindow, and vtkWin32OutputWindow.

virtual int vtkOutputWindow::IsA (  const char *    type )  [virtual]

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 vtkObject. Reimplemented in vtkFileOutputWindow, and vtkWin32OutputWindow.

vtkOutputWindow* vtkOutputWindow::SafeDownCast (  vtkObject *    o )  [static]

Will cast the supplied object to vtkObject* is this is a safe operation (i.e., a safe downcast); otherwise NULL is returned. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkObject. Reimplemented in vtkFileOutputWindow, and vtkWin32OutputWindow.

virtual void vtkOutputWindow::PrintSelf (  ostream &    os, vtkIndent    indent )  [virtual]

Print ObjectFactor to stream. Reimplemented from vtkObject. Reimplemented in vtkFileOutputWindow.

vtkOutputWindow* vtkOutputWindow::New (    )  [static]

This is a singleton pattern New. There will only be ONE reference to a vtkOutputWindow object per process. Clients that call this must call Delete on the object so that the reference counting will work. The single instance will be unreferenced when the program exits. Reimplemented from vtkObject. Reimplemented in vtkFileOutputWindow, and vtkWin32OutputWindow.

vtkOutputWindow* vtkOutputWindow::GetInstance (    )  [static]

Return the singleton instance with no reference counting.

void vtkOutputWindow::SetInstance (  vtkOutputWindow *    instance )  [static]

Supply a user defined output window. Call ->Delete() on the supplied instance after setting it.

virtual void vtkOutputWindow::DisplayText (  const char *    )  [virtual]

Reimplemented in vtkFileOutputWindow, and vtkWin32OutputWindow.

virtual void vtkOutputWindow::PromptUserOn (    )  [virtual]

If PromptUser is set to true then each time a line of text is displayed, the user is asked if they want to keep getting messages.

virtual void vtkOutputWindow::PromptUserOff (    )  [virtual]

virtual void vtkOutputWindow::SetPromptUser (  int    )  [virtual]

void vtkOutputWindow::operator= (  const vtkOutputWindow &    )  [inline, protected]
