## Detailed Description

class `HIOUtilityStl` : public HInputHandler, public HOutputHandler

  The HIOUtilitySTL allows you to read and write binary and ASCII stereolithography or STL files.

  Public Functions

  inline `HIOUtilityStl`()

    Constructs an HIOUtilityStl object.

  inline virtual `~HIOUtilityStl`()
  inline virtual char const *`GetOutputName`()

    Returns: | A character pointer denoting the name of the handler.

  inline virtual char const *`GetInputName`()

    Returns: | A character pointer denoting the name of the input handler.

  inline virtual void `RegisterInputHandlerTypes`()

    This method registers the “stl” extension to this handler as an input handler.

  inline virtual void `RegisterOutputHandlerTypes`()

    This method registers the “stl” extension to this handler as an output handler.

  inline virtual char const *`GetInputTypesString`()

    Returns: | The input extension type that is handled by HIOUtilityStl which is “stl”.

  inline virtual char const *`GetOutputTypesString`()

    Returns: | The string of the type of output this handler creates which is “stl”.

  inline virtual HInputHandlerStyle `GetInputStyle`()

    Returns: | The type of input style which is HInputHandlerStyleModel.

  inline virtual HOutputHandlerStyle `GetOutputStyle`()

    Returns: | The type of output style which is HOutputHandlerStyleModel.

  virtual HFileIOResult `FileInputByKey`(__wchar_t const *FileName, HC_KEY key, HInputHandlerOptions *options)

    This method reads a stereolithography file. The file contents are mapped to a HOOPS shell primitive that is inserted into the currently open HOOPS segment. Both ASCII and binary .stl files are supported.

    Parameters: | filename – The name of the file to load. key – The HOOPS segment key to load model data into. options – This parameter is currently not being used.
    Returns: | The #HFileInputResult result of the input operation.

  inline virtual HFileIOResult `FileInputByKey`(char const *FileName, HC_KEY key, HInputHandlerOptions *options)

    This method loads model data from a given file to a given HOOPS segment key. Note that this must be implemented in a subclassed HInputHandler instance handling models.

    Parameters: | filename – The name of the file to load. key – The HOOPS segment key to load model data into. options – An options class containing any needed extra information for the operation.
    Returns: | The #HFileInputResult result of the input operation.

  inline virtual HFileIOResult `FileInputByKey`(unsigned short const *FileName, HC_KEY key, HInputHandlerOptions *options)

    This method loads model data from a given file to a given HOOPS segment key. Note that this must be implemented in a subclassed HInputHandler instance handling models.

    Parameters: | filename – The UNICODE name of the file to load. key – The HOOPS segment key to load model data into. options – An options class containing any needed extra information for the operation.
    Returns: | The #HFileInputResult result of the input operation.

  virtual HFileIOResult `FileOutputByKey`(__wchar_t const *filename, HC_KEY key, HOutputHandlerOptions *options)

    This method writes a stereolithography file out of the segment tree underneath the given key. Both ASCII and binary .stl files are supported.

    Parameters: | filename – The name of the file to output. key – The HOOPS segment key to output model data from. options – Set this parameter’s m_bAscii member to true if you want to write an ASCII .stl file or false to write a binary .stl file.
    Returns: | The #HFileOutputResult result of the output operation.

  inline virtual HFileIOResult `FileOutputByKey`(unsigned short const *filename, HC_KEY key, HOutputHandlerOptions *options)

    This method writes model data from a given HOOPS key to a given output file. Note that this must be implemented in a subclassed HOutputHandler instance handling models.

    Parameters: | filename – The wide character name of the file to output. key – The HOOPS segment key to get output model data from. options – The options class containing any needed extra information for the operation.
    Returns: | The #HFileOutputResult result of the output operation.

  inline virtual HFileIOResult `FileOutputByKey`(char const *filename, HC_KEY key, HOutputHandlerOptions *options)

    This method writes model data from a given HOOPS key to a given output file. Note that this must be implemented in a subclassed HOutputHandler instance handling models.

    Parameters: | filename – The name of the file to output. key – The HOOPS segment key to output model data from. options – The options class containing any needed extra information for the operation.
    Returns: | The #HFileOutputResult result of the output operation.
