Detailed Description

Base class for writer classes.

Base_Writer subclasses (e.g. IGES_Writer) must be used following the same pattern:

#include <cadex/IGES_Writer.hxx>
 
using namespace cadex;
 
ModelData_Model aModel;
IGES_Writer aWriter;
if (aWriter.Transfer (aModel) && aWriter.WriteFile ("myfile.igs")) {
    //OK
} else {
    //error during writing the IGES file
}

Member Function Documentation

◆ Impl()

internal::Base_Writer_Private* cadex::Base_Writer::Impl ( ) const

inline

Returns the pointer to the implementation object.

Warning: This function is not part of CAD Exchanger API and should not be used.

◆ Transfer()

bool cadex::Base_Writer::Transfer ( const TopoDS_Shape & theShape )

Converts source shape into memory representation of the target file.

Returns true if conversion has been successful and false otherwise.

◆ WriteFile() [1/2]

bool cadex::Base_Writer::WriteFile ( const Base_UTF16String & theFileName )

Writes contents to a target file.

Returns True if the conversion has been successful and False otherwise.

Examples: conversion/export/main.cxx.

◆ WriteFile() [2/2]

bool cadex::Base_Writer::WriteFile ( std::ostream & theStream )

Writes contents to a target stream.

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It differs from the above function only in what argument(s) it accepts. If theStream must be opened and use binary format (the ios::binary flag).

Not all subclasses support this syntax (e.g. STEP_Writer or IGES_Writer do not). In this case the method returns False and asserts in debug mode.
