I/O Streams Reference

Andreas Fabri, Geert-Jan Giezeman, and Lutz Kettner

All classes in the CGAL kernel provide input and output operators for I/O streams. The basic task of such an operator is to produce a representation of an object that can be written as a sequence of characters on devices as a console, a file, or a pipe. In CGAL we distinguish between a raw ascii, a raw binary and a pretty printing format.

All classes in the CGAL kernel provide input and output operators for I/O streams. CGAL provides three different printing mode, defined in the enum IO::Mode , as well as different functions to set and get the printing mode.
