## Detailed Description

Base class for all writer modules.

The module should register itself at the IOManager by calling the register_module function.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ can_u_write()

bool OpenMesh::IO::BaseWriter::can_u_write | ( | const std::string & | _filename | ) | const
| virtual

Returns true if writer can write _filename (checks extension).

_filename can also provide an extension without a name for a file e.g. _filename == "om" checks, if the writer can write the "om" extension

Parameters

  _filename | complete name of a file or just the extension

Returns
  true, if writer can write data with the given extension

## ◆ write() [1/2]

virtual bool OpenMesh::IO::BaseWriter::write | ( | const std::string & | _filename,
|  | BaseExporter & | _be,
|  | Options | _opt,
|  | std::streamsize | _precision = `6`
| ) |  | const
| pure virtual

Write to a file.

Parameters

  _filename | write to file with the given filename
  _be | BaseExporter, which specifies the data source
  _opt | writing options
  _precision | can be used to specify the precision of the floating point notation.

Implemented in OpenMesh::IO::_OMWriter_, OpenMesh::IO::_OFFWriter_, OpenMesh::IO::_PLYWriter_, OpenMesh::IO::_OBJWriter_, OpenMesh::IO::_STLWriter_, and OpenMesh::IO::_VTKWriter_.

## ◆ write() [2/2]

virtual bool OpenMesh::IO::BaseWriter::write | ( | std::ostream & | _os,
|  | BaseExporter & | _be,
|  | Options | _opt,
|  | std::streamsize | _precision = `6`
| ) |  | const
| pure virtual

Write to a std::ostream.

Parameters

  _os | write to std::ostream
  _be | BaseExporter, which specifies the data source
  _opt | writing options
  _precision | can be used to specify the precision of the floating point notation.

Implemented in OpenMesh::IO::_OMWriter_, OpenMesh::IO::_OFFWriter_, OpenMesh::IO::_PLYWriter_, OpenMesh::IO::_OBJWriter_, OpenMesh::IO::_STLWriter_, and OpenMesh::IO::_VTKWriter_.
