Detailed Description

Writes MPEG2 Movie files.

vtkMPEG2Writer writes Movie files. The data type of the file is unsigned char regardless of the input type.

This class is conditionally compiled into VTK only if VTK's CMake option VTK_USE_MPEG2_ENCODER is ON. It is OFF by default.

Portions of the mpeg2 library are patented. VTK does not enable linking to this library by default so VTK can remain "patent free". Users who wish to link in mpeg2 functionality must build that library separately and then turn on VTK_USE_MPEG2_ENCODER when configuring VTK. After turning on VTK_USE_MPEG2_ENCODER, you must also set the CMake variables vtkMPEG2Encode_INCLUDE_PATH and vtkMPEG2Encode_LIBRARIES.

You are solely responsible for any legal issues associated with using patented code in your software.

You can download a "CMake-ified" source tree of the MPEG2 library by visiting the download page at http://www.vtk.org and scrolling down to the "Download Additional Components" section.

Member Function Documentation

static vtkMPEG2Writer* vtkMPEG2Writer::New ( ) [static]

Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on.

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

static int vtkMPEG2Writer::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.

Reimplemented from vtkGenericMovieWriter.

virtual int vtkMPEG2Writer::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.

Reimplemented from vtkGenericMovieWriter.

static vtkMPEG2Writer* vtkMPEG2Writer::SafeDownCast ( vtkObjectBase * o ) [static]

Reimplemented from vtkGenericMovieWriter.

virtual vtkObjectBase* vtkMPEG2Writer::NewInstanceInternal ( ) const [protected, virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkGenericMovieWriter.

vtkMPEG2Writer* vtkMPEG2Writer::NewInstance ( ) const

Reimplemented from vtkGenericMovieWriter.

void vtkMPEG2Writer::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 vtkGenericMovieWriter.

void vtkMPEG2Writer::Start ( ) [virtual]

These methods start writing an Movie file, write a frame to the file and then end the writing process.

Implements vtkGenericMovieWriter.

void vtkMPEG2Writer::Write ( ) [virtual]

These methods start writing an Movie file, write a frame to the file and then end the writing process.

Implements vtkGenericMovieWriter.

void vtkMPEG2Writer::End ( ) [virtual]

These methods start writing an Movie file, write a frame to the file and then end the writing process.

Implements vtkGenericMovieWriter.

void vtkMPEG2Writer::Initialize ( ) [protected]
