Detailed Description

abstract class to write data to file(s)

vtkWriter is an abstract class for mapper objects that write their data to disk (or into a communications port). All writers respond to Write() method. This method insures that there is input and input is up to date.

Warning:
Every subclass of vtkWriter must implement a WriteData() method. Most likely will have to create SetInput() method as well.

static int vtkWriter::IsTypeOf ( const char *  name) [static]
virtual int vtkWriter::IsA ( const char *  name) [virtual]
static vtkWriter* vtkWriter::SafeDownCast ( vtkObjectBase o) [static]
virtual vtkObjectBase* vtkWriter::NewInstanceInternal ( ) const [protected, virtual]
void vtkWriter::PrintSelf ( ostream &  os,
vtkIndent  indent 
) [virtual]
virtual int vtkWriter::Write ( ) [virtual]

Write data to output. Method executes subclasses WriteData() method, as well as StartMethod() and EndMethod() methods. Returns 1 on success and 0 on failure.

Reimplemented in vtkMNITagPointWriter, vtkArrayWriter, vtkArrayDataWriter, and vtkPDataSetWriter.

void vtkWriter::EncodeString ( char *  resname,
const char *  name,
bool  doublePercent 
)

Encode the string so that the reader will not have problems. The resulting string is up to three times the size of the input string. doublePercent indicates whether to output a double '' before escaped characters so the string may be used as a printf format string.

void vtkWriter::EncodeWriteString ( ostream *  out,
const char *  name,
bool  doublePercent 
)

Encode the string so that the reader will not have problems. The resulting string is up to three times the size of the input string. Write the string to the output stream. doublePercent indicates whether to output a double '' before escaped characters so the string may be used as a printf format string.

Set/get the input to this writer.

void vtkWriter::SetInputData ( int  index,
vtkDataObject input 
)

Set/get the input to this writer.

virtual int vtkWriter::ProcessRequest ( vtkInformation request,
vtkInformationVector **  inInfo,
vtkInformationVector outInfo 
) [protected, virtual]

Upstream/Downstream requests form the generalized interface through which executives invoke a algorithm's functionality. Upstream requests correspond to information flow from the algorithm's outputs to its inputs. Downstream requests correspond to information flow from the algorithm's inputs to its outputs. A downstream request is defined by the contents of the request information object. The input to the request is stored in the input information vector passed to ProcessRequest. The results of an downstream request are stored in the output information vector passed to ProcessRequest. An upstream request is defined by the contents of the request information object. The input to the request is stored in the output information vector passed to ProcessRequest. The results of an upstream request are stored in the input information vector passed to ProcessRequest. It returns the boolean status of the pipeline (false means failure).

Reimplemented from vtkAlgorithm.

Reimplemented in vtkExodusIIWriter.

virtual int vtkWriter::RequestData ( vtkInformation request,
vtkInformationVector **  inputVector,
vtkInformationVector outputVector 
) [protected, virtual]

Reimplemented in vtkExodusIIWriter, and vtkMNITagPointWriter.

virtual void vtkWriter::WriteData ( ) [protected, pure virtual]
