StlAPI_Writer Class Reference

This class creates and writes
STL files from Open CASCADE shapes. An STL file can be
written to an existing STL file or to a new one..

#include <StlAPI_Writer.hxx>

Public Member Functions

DEFINE_STANDARD_ALLOC StlAPI_Writer ()
 Creates a writer object with
default parameters: ASCIIMode, RelativeMode, SetCoefficent,
SetDeflection. These parameters may be modified.

void SetDeflection (const Standard_Real aDeflection)
 Sets the deflection of the meshing algorithm.
Deflection is used, only if relative mode is false

void SetCoefficient (const Standard_Real aCoefficient)
 Sets the coeffiecient for computation of deflection through
relative size of shape. Default value = 0.001

Standard_BooleanRelativeMode ()
 Returns the address to the
flag defining the relative mode for writing the file.
This address may be used to either read or change the flag.
If the mode returns True (default value), the
deflection is calculated from the relative size of the
shape. If the mode returns False, the user defined deflection is used.
Example
Read:
Standard_Boolean val = Writer.RelativeMode( );
Modify:
Writer.RelativeMode( ) = Standard_True;

Standard_BooleanASCIIMode ()
 Returns the address to the
flag defining the mode for writing the file. This address
may be used to either read or change the flag.
If the mode returns True (default value) the generated
file is an ASCII file. If the mode returns False, the
generated file is a binary file.

void Write (const TopoDS_Shape &aShape, const Standard_CString aFileName, const Standard_Boolean InParallel=Standard_False)
 Converts a given shape to STL format and writes it to file with a given filename.
