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).

DEFINE_STANDARD_ALLOC 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 (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:

 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:

Handle_IGESData_IGESModel Model () const
 Returns the IGES model to be written in output.

Handle_Transfer_FinderProcess TransferProcess () const
void SetTransferProcess (const Handle< Transfer_FinderProcess > &TP)
 Returns/Sets the TransferProcess : it contains final results
and if some, check messages

Standard_Boolean AddShape (const TopoDS_Shape &sh)
 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

Standard_Boolean 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

Standard_Boolean AddEntity (const Handle< IGESData_IGESEntity > &ent)
 Adds an IGES entity (and the ones it references) to the model

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

Standard_Boolean 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

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).

void PrintStatsTransfer (const Standard_Integer what, const Standard_Integer mode=0) const
 Prints Statistics about Transfer
