Function Documentation

write_XYZ() [1/2]

template<typename PointRange , typename NamedParameters = CGAL::parameters::Default_named_parameters>

bool CGAL::IO::write_XYZ	(	const std::string &	filename,
		const PointRange &	points,
		const NamedParameters &	np = parameters::default_values()
	)

#include <CGAL/IO/write_xyz_points.h>

writes the range of points (positions + normals, if available), using the XYZ File Format.

Template Parameters

PointRange	is a model of ConstRange. The value type of its iterator is the key type of the named parameter point_map.
NamedParameters	a sequence of Named Parameters

Parameters

filename	path to the output file
points	input point range
np	an optional sequence of Named Parameters among the ones listed below

Optional Named Parameters

point_map a property map associating points to the elements of the point range Type: a model of ReadablePropertyMap with value type geom_traits::Point_3 Default: CGAL::Identity_property_map<geom_traits::Point_3>
normal_map a property map associating normals to the elements of the point range Type: a model of ReadablePropertyMap with value type geom_traits::Vector_3 Default: If this parameter is omitted, normals are not written in the output file.
geom_traits an instance of a geometric traits class Type: a model of Kernel Default: a CGAL Kernel deduced from the point type, using CGAL::Kernel_traits
stream_precision a parameter used to set the precision (i.e. how many digits are generated) of the output stream Type: int Default: 6

Returns

true if writing was successful, false otherwise.

Template Parameters

PointRange	is a model of ConstRange. The value type of its iterator is the key type of the named parameter point_map.

Parameters

os	output stream
points	input point range
np	an optional sequence of Named Parameters among the ones listed below

Optional Named Parameters

point_map a property map associating points to the elements of the point range Type: a model of ReadablePropertyMap with value type geom_traits::Point_3 Default: CGAL::Identity_property_map<geom_traits::Point_3>
normal_map a property map associating normals to the elements of the point range Type: a model of ReadablePropertyMap with value type geom_traits::Vector_3 Default: If this parameter is omitted, normals are not written in the output stream.
geom_traits an instance of a geometric traits class Type: a model of Kernel Default: a CGAL Kernel deduced from the point type, using CGAL::Kernel_traits
stream_precision a parameter used to set the precision (i.e. how many digits are generated) of the output stream Type: int Default: the precision of the stream os

Returns

true if writing was successful, false otherwise.
