IGESControl_Writer Class Reference

This class creates and writes IGES files from CAS.CADE models. An IGES file can be written to an existing IGES file or to a new one. The translation can be performed in one or several operations. Each translation operation outputs a distinct root entity in the IGES file. To write an IGES file it is possible to use the following sequence: To modify the IGES file header or to change translation parameters it is necessary to use class Interface_Static (see IGESParameters and GeneralParameters).

Standard_Boolean	Write (const Standard_CString file, const Standard_Boolean fnes=Standard_False)
	Prepares and writes an IGES model either to an OStream, S or to a file name,CString. Returns True if the operation was performed correctly and False if an error occurred (for instance, if the processor could not create the file).

Detailed Description

This class creates and writes IGES files from CAS.CADE models. An IGES file can be written to an existing IGES file or to a new one. The translation can be performed in one or several operations. Each translation operation outputs a distinct root entity in the IGES file. To write an IGES file it is possible to use the following sequence: To modify the IGES file header or to change translation parameters it is necessary to use class Interface_Static (see IGESParameters and GeneralParameters).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IGESControl_Writer() [1/3]

IGESControl_Writer::IGESControl_Writer

(

)

Creates a writer object with the default unit (millimeters) and write mode (Face). IGESControl_Writer (const Standard_CString unit, const Standard_Integer modecr = 0);.

IGESControl_Writer() [2/3]

IGESControl_Writer::IGESControl_Writer	(	const Standard_CString	unit,
		const Standard_Integer	modecr = 0
	)

Creates a writer with given values for units and for write mode. unit may be any unit that is accepted by the IGES standard. By default, it is the millimeter. modecr defines the write mode and may be:

• 0: Faces (default)
• 1: BRep.

IGESControl_Writer() [3/3]

IGESControl_Writer::IGESControl_Writer	(	const Handle< IGESData_IGESModel > &	model,
		const Standard_Integer	modecr = 0
	)

Creates a writer object with the prepared IGES model model in write mode. modecr defines the write mode and may be:

• 0: Faces (default)
• 1: BRep.

Member Function Documentation

AddEntity()

Standard_Boolean IGESControl_Writer::AddEntity

(

const Handle< IGESData_IGESEntity > &

ent

)

Adds an IGES entity (and the ones it references) to the model.

AddGeom()

Standard_Boolean IGESControl_Writer::AddGeom

(

const Handle< Standard_Transient > &

geom

)

Translates a Geometry (Surface or Curve) to IGES Entities and adds them to the model Returns True if done, False if geom is neither a Surface or a Curve suitable for IGES or is null.

AddShape()

Standard_Boolean IGESControl_Writer::AddShape	(	const TopoDS_Shape &	sh,
		const Message_ProgressRange &	theProgress = Message_ProgressRange()
	)

Translates a Shape to IGES Entities and adds them to the model Returns True if done, False if Shape not suitable for IGES or null.

ComputeModel()

void IGESControl_Writer::ComputeModel

(

)

Computes the entities found in the model, which is ready to be written. This contrasts with the default computation of headers only.

Model()

const Handle< IGESData_IGESModel > & IGESControl_Writer::Model ( ) const

inline

Returns the IGES model to be written in output.

SetTransferProcess()

void IGESControl_Writer::SetTransferProcess ( const Handle< Transfer_FinderProcess > &  TP )

inline

Returns/Sets the TransferProcess : it contains final results and if some, check messages.

TransferProcess()

const Handle< Transfer_FinderProcess > & IGESControl_Writer::TransferProcess ( ) const

inline

Write() [1/2]

Standard_Boolean IGESControl_Writer::Write	(	const Standard_CString	file,
		const Standard_Boolean	fnes = Standard_False
	)

Prepares and writes an IGES model either to an OStream, S or to a file name,CString. Returns True if the operation was performed correctly and False if an error occurred (for instance, if the processor could not create the file).

Write() [2/2]

Standard_Boolean IGESControl_Writer::Write	(	Standard_OStream &	S,
		const Standard_Boolean	fnes = Standard_False
	)

Computes then writes the model to an OStream Returns True when done, false in case of error.
