read_VTP()

template<typename PointRange , typename PolygonRange >

bool CGAL::IO::read_VTP	(	const std::string &	fname,
		PointRange &	points,
		PolygonRange &	polygons
	)

#include <CGAL/IO/VTK.h>

reads the content of the input file into points and polygons, using the VTK (VTU / VTP) File Formats.

Attention

The polygon soup is not cleared, and the data from the file are appended.

Template Parameters

PointRange	a model of the concepts RandomAccessContainer and BackInsertionSequence whose value type is the point type
PolygonRange	a model of the concepts SequenceContainer and BackInsertionSequence whose value_type is itself a model of the concept SequenceContainer and BackInsertionSequence whose value_type is an unsigned integer type convertible to std::size_t

Parameters

fname	the path to the input file
points	points of the soup of polygons
polygons	a range of polygons. Each element in it describes a polygon using the indices of the points in points.

Returns

true if the reading was successful, false otherwise.

write_VTP() [1/2]

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

bool CGAL::IO::write_VTP	(	std::ostream &	os,
		const PointRange &	points,
		const PolygonRange &	polygons,
		const NamedParameters &	np = parameters::default_values()
	)

#include <CGAL/IO/VTK.h>

writes the content of points and polygons in out, using the VTK (VTU / VTP) File Formats.

Template Parameters

PointRange	a model of the concept RandomAccessContainer whose value type is the point type
PolygonRange	a model of the concept SequenceContainer whose value_type is itself a model of the concept SequenceContainer whose value_type is an unsigned integer type convertible to std::size_t
NamedParameters	a sequence of Named Parameters

Parameters

os	the output stream
points	points of the soup of polygons
polygons	a range of polygons. Each element in it describes a polygon using the indices of the points in points.
np	optional sequence of Named Parameters among the ones listed below

Optional Named Parameters

use_binary_mode indicates whether data should be written in binary (true) or in ASCII (false) Type: Boolean Default: true
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 the writing was successful, false otherwise.

write_VTP() [2/2]

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

bool CGAL::IO::write_VTP	(	const std::string &	fname,
		const PointRange &	points,
		const PolygonRange &	polygons,
		const NamedParameters &	np = parameters::default_values()
	)

#include <CGAL/IO/VTK.h>

writes the content of points and polygons in a file named fname, using the VTK (VTU / VTP) File Formats.

Template Parameters

PointRange	a model of the concept RandomAccessContainer whose value type is the point type
PolygonRange	a model of the concept SequenceContainer whose value_type is itself a model of the concept SequenceContainer whose value_type is an unsigned integer type convertible to std::size_t
NamedParameters	a sequence of Named Parameters

Parameters

fname	the path to the output file
points	points of the soup of polygons
polygons	a range of polygons. Each element in it describes a polygon using the indices of the points in points.
np	optional sequence of Named Parameters among the ones listed below

Optional Named Parameters

use_binary_mode indicates whether data should be written in binary (true) or in ASCII (false) Type: Boolean Default: true
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 the writing was successful, false otherwise.
