Detailed Description

importer abstract class

vtkImporter is an abstract class that specifies the protocol for importing actors, cameras, lights and properties into a vtkRenderWindow. The following takes place: 1) Create a RenderWindow and Renderer if none is provided. 2) Call ImportBegin, if ImportBegin returns False, return 3) Call ReadData, which calls: a) Import the Actors b) Import the cameras c) Import the lights d) Import the Properties 7) Call ImportEnd

Subclasses optionally implement the ImportActors, ImportCameras, ImportLights and ImportProperties or ReadData methods. An ImportBegin and ImportEnd can optionally be provided to perform Importer-specific initialization and termination. The Read method initiates the import process. If a RenderWindow is provided, its Renderer will contained the imported objects. If the RenderWindow has no Renderer, one is created. If no RenderWindow is provided, both a RenderWindow and Renderer will be created. Both the RenderWindow and Renderer can be accessed using Get methods.

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

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtk3DSImporter, and vtkVRMLImporter.

static int vtkImporter::IsTypeOf ( const char *  name  )  [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.

virtual int vtkImporter::IsA ( const char *  name  )  [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.

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

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

Reimplemented in vtk3DSImporter, and vtkVRMLImporter.

void vtkImporter::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 vtk3DSImporter, and vtkVRMLImporter.

virtual vtkRenderer* vtkImporter::GetRenderer (  )  [virtual]

Get the renderer that contains the imported actors, cameras and lights.

virtual void vtkImporter::SetRenderWindow ( vtkRenderWindow  )  [virtual]

Set the vtkRenderWindow to contain the imported actors, cameras and lights, If no vtkRenderWindow is set, one will be created and can be obtained with the GetRenderWindow method. If the vtkRenderWindow has been specified, the first vtkRenderer it has will be used to import the objects. If the vtkRenderWindow has no Renderer, one will be created and can be accessed using GetRenderer.

virtual vtkRenderWindow* vtkImporter::GetRenderWindow (  )  [virtual]

Set the vtkRenderWindow to contain the imported actors, cameras and lights, If no vtkRenderWindow is set, one will be created and can be obtained with the GetRenderWindow method. If the vtkRenderWindow has been specified, the first vtkRenderer it has will be used to import the objects. If the vtkRenderWindow has no Renderer, one will be created and can be accessed using GetRenderer.

void vtkImporter::Read (  ) 

Import the actors, cameras, lights and properties into a vtkRenderWindow.

void vtkImporter::Update (  )  [inline]

Import the actors, cameras, lights and properties into a vtkRenderWindow.
