Detailed Description

Abstract interface for data compression classes.

Date:: 2002/10/16 18:23:06

Revision:: 1.1

vtkDataCompressor provides a universal interface for data compression. Subclasses provide one compression method and one decompression method. The public interface to all compressors remains the same, and is defined by this class.

Member Function Documentation

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

Reimplemented from vtkObject.
Reimplemented in vtkZLibDataCompressor.

int vtkDataCompressor::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 vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.
Reimplemented from vtkObject.
Reimplemented in vtkZLibDataCompressor.

virtual int vtkDataCompressor::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 vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.
Reimplemented from vtkObject.
Reimplemented in vtkZLibDataCompressor.

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

Reimplemented from vtkObject.
Reimplemented in vtkZLibDataCompressor.

void vtkDataCompressor::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 vtkObject.
Reimplemented in vtkZLibDataCompressor.

virtual unsigned long vtkDataCompressor::GetMaximumCompressionSpace ( unsigned long size ) [pure virtual]

Get the maximum space that may be needed to store data of the given uncompressed size after compression. This is the minimum size of the output buffer that can be passed to the four-argument Compress method.
Implemented in vtkZLibDataCompressor.

unsigned long vtkDataCompressor::Compress ( const unsigned char * uncompressedData,

unsigned long uncompressedSize,

unsigned char * compressedData,

unsigned long compressionSpace

)

Compress the given input data buffer into the given output buffer. The size of the output buffer must be at least as large as the value given by GetMaximumCompressionSpace for the given input size.

unsigned long vtkDataCompressor::Uncompress ( const unsigned char * compressedData,

unsigned long compressedSize,

unsigned char * uncompressedData,

unsigned long uncompressedSize

)

Uncompress the given input data into the given output buffer. The size of the uncompressed data must be known by the caller. It should be transmitted from the compressor by a means outside of this class.

vtkUnsignedCharArray* vtkDataCompressor::Compress ( const unsigned char * uncompressedData,

unsigned long uncompressedSize

)

Compress the given data. A vtkUnsignedCharArray containing the compressed data is returned with a reference count of 1.

vtkUnsignedCharArray* vtkDataCompressor::Uncompress ( const unsigned char * compressedData,

unsigned long compressedSize,

unsigned long uncompressedSize

)

Uncompress the given data. A vtkUnsignedCharArray containing the compressed data is returned with a reference count of 1. The size of the uncompressed data must be known by the caller. It should be transmitted from the compressor by a means outside of this class.

virtual unsigned long vtkDataCompressor::CompressBuffer ( const unsigned char * uncompressedData,

unsigned long uncompressedSize,

unsigned char * compressedData,

unsigned long compressionSpace

) [protected, pure virtual]

Implemented in vtkZLibDataCompressor.

virtual unsigned long vtkDataCompressor::UncompressBuffer ( const unsigned char * compressedData,

unsigned long compressedSize,

unsigned char * uncompressedData,

unsigned long uncompressedSize

) [protected, pure virtual]

Implemented in vtkZLibDataCompressor.
