Detailed Description

Base class for reader modules.

Reader modules access persistent data and pass them to the desired data structure by the means of a BaseImporter derivative. All reader modules must be derived from this class.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool OpenMesh::IO::BaseReader::read	(	const std::string &	_filename,
		BaseImporter &	_bi,
		Options &	_opt
	)			[pure virtual]

Reads a mesh given by a filename.

Usually this method opens a stream and passes it to stream read method. Acceptance checks by filename extension can be placed here.

Implemented in OpenMesh::IO::_OBJReader_, OpenMesh::IO::_OFFReader_, OpenMesh::IO::_OMReader_, and OpenMesh::IO::_STLReader_.
