List of all members.

Public Member Functions

virtual bool load (const std::string &fileName, MeshData &outData)

Format-specific mesh loading from a file which defers actual parsing to _load.

Static Public Member Functions

static Mesh * load (const std::string &fileName)

Attempts to parse and initialize a Mesh from the given file, inferring its file format from the filename's extension.

static bool save (Mesh *mesh, const std::string &fileName)

Attempts to save the given mesh in OBJ format to the file given.

Protected Member Functions

virtual bool _load (std::istream &fileStream, MeshData &outData)=0

Format-specific mesh loading from an ifstream (input file stream).

Member Function Documentation

Mesh * MeshLoader::load ( const std::string & fileName ) [static]

Attempts to parse and initialize a Mesh from the given file, inferring its file format from the filename's extension.

Returns:: NULL on error or a valid Mesh otherwise

Definition at line 22 of file MeshLoader.cpp.

bool MeshLoader::save	(	Mesh *	mesh,
		const std::string &	fileName
	)			`[static]`

Attempts to save the given mesh in OBJ format to the file given.

Returns:: whether or not mesh was successfully written out to the file

Definition at line 59 of file MeshLoader.cpp.

bool MeshLoader::load	(	const std::string &	fileName,
		MeshData &	outData
	)			`[virtual]`

Format-specific mesh loading from a file which defers actual parsing to _load.

Returns:: true on success with loaded data in outData, false otherwise

Definition at line 46 of file MeshLoader.cpp.

virtual bool MeshLoader::_load	(	std::istream &	fileStream,
		MeshData &	outData
	)			`[protected, pure virtual]`

Format-specific mesh loading from an ifstream (input file stream).

Returns:: true on success with loaded data in outData, false otherwise

Implemented in MeshLoaderOBJ, and MeshLoaderPLY.
