## Detailed Description

This namespace contains functions for reading and writing polygonal meshes and a list of supported file formats.

## Function Documentation

## ◆ binary_size()

template<class Mesh >

size_t OpenMesh::IO::binary_size | ( | const Mesh & | _mesh,
|  | const std::string & | _ext,
|  | Options | _opt = `Options::Default`
| ) |  |

Get binary size of data.

This function calls the corresponding writer which calculates the size of the data that would be written to a binary file

The file format is determined by parameter _ext. _ext has to include ".[format]" in order to work properly (e.g. ".OFF")

Parameters

  _mesh | Mesh to write
  _ext | extension of the file (used to determine the writing module)
  _opt | Writer options (e.g. writing of normals ... depends on the writer capabilities)

Returns
  Binary size in bytes used when writing the data

## ◆ read_mesh() [1/3]

template<class Mesh >

bool OpenMesh::IO::read_mesh | ( | Mesh & | _mesh,
|  | const std::string & | _filename
| ) |  |

Read a mesh from file _filename.

The file format is determined by the file extension.

Note
  If you link statically against OpenMesh, you have to add the define OM_STATIC_BUILD to your application. This will ensure that readers and writers get initialized correctly.

Parameters

  _mesh | The target mesh that will be filled with the read data
  _filename | fill to load

Returns
  Successful?

## ◆ read_mesh() [2/3]

template<class Mesh >

bool OpenMesh::IO::read_mesh | ( | Mesh & | _mesh,
|  | const std::string & | _filename,
|  | Options & | _opt,
|  | bool | _clear = `true`
| ) |  |

Read a mesh from file _filename.

The file format is determined by the file extension.

Note
  If you link statically against OpenMesh, you have to add the define OM_STATIC_BUILD to your application. This will ensure that readers and writers get initialized correctly.

Parameters

  _mesh | The target mesh that will be filled with the read data
  _filename | fill to load
  _opt | Reader options (e.g. skip loading of normals ... depends on the reader capabilities). Note that simply passing an Options::Flag enum is not sufficient.
  _clear | Clear the target data before filling it (allows to load multiple files into one Mesh). If you only want to read a mesh without clearing set _clear to false. Providing a default Options object is sufficient in this case.

Returns
  Successful?

## ◆ read_mesh() [3/3]

template<class Mesh >

bool OpenMesh::IO::read_mesh | ( | Mesh & | _mesh,
|  | std::istream & | _is,
|  | const std::string & | _ext,
|  | Options & | _opt,
|  | bool | _clear = `true`
| ) |  |

Read a mesh from file open std::istream.

The file format is determined by parameter _ext. _ext has to include ".[format]" in order to work properly (e.g. ".OFF")

Note
  If you link statically against OpenMesh, you have to add the define OM_STATIC_BUILD to your application. This will ensure that readers and writers get initialized correctly.

Parameters

  _mesh | The target mesh that will be filled with the read data
  _is | stream to load the data from
  _ext | The file format that is written to the stream
  _opt | Reader options (e.g. skip loading of normals ... depends on the reader capabilities)
  _clear | Clear the target data before filling it (allows to load multiple files into one Mesh)

Returns
  Successful?

## ◆ write_mesh() [1/2]

template<class Mesh >

bool OpenMesh::IO::write_mesh | ( | const Mesh & | _mesh,
|  | const std::string & | _filename,
|  | Options | _opt = `Options::Default`,
|  | std::streamsize | _precision = `6`
| ) |  |

Write a mesh to the file _filename.

The file format is determined by _filename's extension.

Note
  If you link statically against OpenMesh, you have to add the define OM_STATIC_BUILD to your application. This will ensure that readers and writers get initialized correctly.

Parameters

  _mesh | The mesh that will be written to file
  _filename | output filename
  _opt | Writer options (e.g. writing of normals ... depends on the writer capabilities)
  _precision | specifies stream precision for ascii files

Returns
  Successful?

## ◆ write_mesh() [2/2]

template<class Mesh >

bool OpenMesh::IO::write_mesh | ( | const Mesh & | _mesh,
|  | std::ostream & | _os,
|  | const std::string & | _ext,
|  | Options | _opt = `Options::Default`,
|  | std::streamsize | _precision = `6`
| ) |  |

Write a mesh to an open std::ostream.

The file format is determined by parameter _ext. _ext has to include ".[format]" in order to work properly (e.g. ".OFF")

Note
  If you link statically against OpenMesh, you have to add the define OM_STATIC_BUILD to your application. This will ensure that readers and writers get initialized correctly.

Parameters

  _mesh | The mesh that will be written to file
  _os | output stream to write into
  _ext | extension defining the type of output
  _opt | Writer options (e.g. writing of normals ... depends on the writer capabilities)
  _precision | specifies stream precision for ascii files

Returns
  Successful?
