Detailed Description

class BStreamFileToolkit : public BControlledMemoryObject

The BStreamFileToolkit class provides support for importing/exporting HOOPS Stream File information.

BStreamFileToolkit is the primary support class which manages streaming of HOOPS Stream File data into the HOOPS database. The class also provides support for the user to manage export of information from the HOOPS database to a HOOPS Stream File. It is HOOPS/3dGS-independent; therefore the data does not have to reside in a HOOPS/3dGS scene-graph prior to export and it will not be mapped to a HOOPS/3dGS scene-graph during import. (See the opcode handler notes below)

The HSF file reading process involves reading the opcode at the start of each piece of binary information, and calling the Read method of the associated opcode handler. After the opcode handler reports that reading is complete, the Execute method should be called. The ParseBuffer method of the BStreamFileToolkit object encapsulates this process.

The HSF file writing process involves determining the proper opcode for each piece of binary information, and calling the Interpret method of the associated opcode handler. After interpretation is complete, the Write method of the opcode handler should be called until writing is complete.

BStreamFileToolkit uses a concept of opcode handlers to manage reading and writing of logical pieces of binary information stored in the file. A set of default opcode handlers support standard HOOPS file objects such as segments, attributes and geometry, and the toolkit can be extended by deriving from the existing opcode handlers or adding new ones in order to handle user-specific data. All of the default opcode handlers registered with this class are of the naming convention TK_XXX, where XXX is the type of HSF object. The TK_XXX opcode handlers only provide implementations of the Read and Write methods; therefore the following two methods need to be implemented:

  • Interpret : this method should query the graphics data (meaning, extract it from data structures); the data will then be written out to an HSF via the Write method
  • Execute : this method should map the HSF data to custom data structures after it has been read in from the HSF file via the Read method

Streaming refers to a method of import where the user can incrementally supply pieces of data to the file toolkit object. This is useful in order to incrementally update the scene while data is still being read in, rather than wait until the entire file has been read before any visual result is available.

To begin the streaming process, read a buffer of HOOPS Stream File data from a local file, a remote location, or memory. This reading process could happen asynchronously on a thread that is separate from the main application thread. The toolkit class provides some wrapper functions to open/close and read/write a buffer of data to and from the HOOPS Stream File.

Public Functions

BStreamFileToolkit()

Default constructor for an BStreamFileToolkit object

virtual ~BStreamFileToolkit()
TK_Status SetAsciiMode(bool whether)

Ascii is a deprecated mode. DO NOT USE.

bool GetAsciiMode()

Ascii is a deprecated mode. DO NOT USE.

void SetTabs(int)
int GetTabs()
virtual TK_Status ParseBuffer(char const *b, int s, TK_Status mode = TK_Normal)

ParseBuffer reads the opcode at the start of the binary data buffer and continually calls the Read method of the associated opcode handler. The Read methods of the default object handlers read binary information from the buffer that was passed in and convert it into HOOPS/3dGS formatted segment, geometry and attribute information. After the opcode handler reports that reading is complete, ParseBuffer calls the Execute method of the opcode handler.

If the HOOPS/3dGS-specific opcode handlers are being used (the HoopsStream classes, of the form HTK_XXX) then the Execute methods will call the appropriate HOOPS/3dGS functions to either create segemnts, insert geometry or set attributes underneath the currently open HOOPS/3dGS segment. When using HoopsStream, a HOOPS/3dGS scene-graph segment must currently be open before calling ParseBuffer.

If the HOOPS/3dGS-independent default object handlers are used (the BaseStream classes, of the form TK_XXX), then the Execute method does nothing and the developer would need to overload it to map the HSF data to custom data structures.

If the buffer being parsed ends in the middle of an object, it will be saved along with any HOOPS database state information and the next buffer will be appended to it.

The mode parameter allows for control of how the buffer is parsed. The default of TK_Normal indicates read until the Termination code.

TK_Pause indicates read to the next Pause or Termination. If the HOOPS Stream File has been written out with default streaming properties, a pause will occur at the end of the HOOPS segment tree. This tree contains simple bounding box representations for the HOOPS geometric primitives that are used to represent facetted surfaces.

TK_Single indicates read only the first object in the buffer. If the buffer ends in the middle of an object, it will be saved and the next buffer will be appended to it. Any extra data in the buffer than is associated with more than one object is thrown away. This is referred to as ‘a la carte mode’, and is useful when the application wants specific entities to be read in from the file, typically from random locations. This is necessary for image sweetening.

Parameters:
  • b – A pointer to a character buffer.
  • s – An integer denoting the length of the buffer.
  • mode – A flag controlling how the buffer is to be parsed.
Returns:

The result of the function call.

inline virtual void NewFileContext(ID_Key key)

This might include operations such as clearing out any placeholder geometry.

Parameters:key – A context identifier
inline int GeneratedSoFar() const
