Detailed Description

Writes images to files.

Date:

2001/10/11 13:37:31

Revision:

1.29

Thanks:

Thanks to C. Charles Law who developed this class.

vtkImageWriter writes images to files with any data type. The data type of the file is the same scalar type as the input. The dimensionality determines whether the data will be written in one or multiple files. This class is used as the superclass of most image writing classes such as vtkBMPWriter etc. It supports streaming.

Member Function Documentation

vtkImageWriter* vtkImageWriter::New (    )  [static]

Instantiate object with no start, end, or progress methods. Reimplemented from vtkProcessObject. Reimplemented in vtkBMPWriter, vtkJPEGWriter, vtkPNGWriter, vtkPNMWriter, vtkPostScriptWriter, vtkTIFFWriter, and vtkPImageWriter.

virtual const char* vtkImageWriter::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 vtkProcessObject. Reimplemented in vtkBMPWriter, vtkJPEGWriter, vtkPNGWriter, vtkPNMWriter, vtkPostScriptWriter, vtkTIFFWriter, and vtkPImageWriter.

int vtkImageWriter::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 vtkProcessObject. Reimplemented in vtkBMPWriter, vtkJPEGWriter, vtkPNGWriter, vtkPNMWriter, vtkPostScriptWriter, vtkTIFFWriter, and vtkPImageWriter.

virtual int vtkImageWriter::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 vtkProcessObject. Reimplemented in vtkBMPWriter, vtkJPEGWriter, vtkPNGWriter, vtkPNMWriter, vtkPostScriptWriter, vtkTIFFWriter, and vtkPImageWriter.

vtkImageWriter* vtkImageWriter::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 vtkProcessObject. Reimplemented in vtkBMPWriter, vtkJPEGWriter, vtkPNGWriter, vtkPNMWriter, vtkPostScriptWriter, vtkTIFFWriter, and vtkPImageWriter.

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

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 vtkProcessObject. Reimplemented in vtkJPEGWriter, and vtkPImageWriter.

void vtkImageWriter::SetFileName (  const char *    )

Specify file name for the image file. You should specify either a FileName or a FilePrefix. Use FilePrefix if the data is stored in multiple files.

virtual char* vtkImageWriter::GetFileName (    )  [virtual]

Specify file name for the image file. You should specify either a FileName or a FilePrefix. Use FilePrefix if the data is stored in multiple files.

void vtkImageWriter::SetFilePrefix (  char *    filePrefix )

Specify file prefix for the image file(s).You should specify either a FileName or FilePrefix. Use FilePrefix if the data is stored in multiple files.

virtual char* vtkImageWriter::GetFilePrefix (    )  [virtual]

Specify file prefix for the image file(s).You should specify either a FileName or FilePrefix. Use FilePrefix if the data is stored in multiple files.

void vtkImageWriter::SetFilePattern (  const char *    filePattern )

The sprintf format used to build filename from FilePrefix and number.

virtual char* vtkImageWriter::GetFilePattern (    )  [virtual]

The sprintf format used to build filename from FilePrefix and number.

virtual void vtkImageWriter::SetFileDimensionality (  int    )  [virtual]

What dimension are the files to be written. Usually this is 2, or 3. If it is 2 and the input is a volume then the volume will be written as a series of 2d slices.

virtual int vtkImageWriter::GetFileDimensionality (    )  [virtual]

What dimension are the files to be written. Usually this is 2, or 3. If it is 2 and the input is a volume then the volume will be written as a series of 2d slices.

virtual void vtkImageWriter::SetInput (  vtkImageData *    input )  [virtual]

Set/Get the input object from the image pipeline.

vtkImageData* vtkImageWriter::GetInput (    )

Set/Get the input object from the image pipeline.

virtual void vtkImageWriter::Write (    )  [virtual]

The main interface which triggers the writer to start. Reimplemented in vtkJPEGWriter, and vtkPNGWriter.

virtual void vtkImageWriter::RecursiveWrite (  int    dim, vtkImageData *    region, ofstream *    file )  [protected, virtual]

Reimplemented in vtkPImageWriter. Referenced by vtkPImageWriter::RecursiveWrite().

virtual void vtkImageWriter::RecursiveWrite (  int    dim, vtkImageData *    cache, vtkImageData *    data, ofstream *    file )  [protected, virtual]

Reimplemented in vtkPImageWriter.

virtual void vtkImageWriter::WriteFile (  ofstream *    file, vtkImageData *    data, int    ext[6] )  [protected, virtual]

Reimplemented in vtkBMPWriter, vtkPNMWriter, vtkPostScriptWriter, and vtkTIFFWriter.

virtual void vtkImageWriter::WriteFileHeader (  ofstream *   , vtkImageData *    )  [inline, protected, virtual]

Reimplemented in vtkBMPWriter, vtkPNMWriter, vtkPostScriptWriter, and vtkTIFFWriter. Definition at line 123 of file vtkImageWriter.h.

virtual void vtkImageWriter::WriteFileTrailer (  ofstream *   , vtkImageData *    )  [inline, protected, virtual]

Reimplemented in vtkPostScriptWriter. Definition at line 124 of file vtkImageWriter.h.
