Detailed Description

This class describes what is a generic Component extension.

To add a ComponentExtension to CamiTK core, write a new class that inherits from this class.

There are two types of component extension: the classical one manages (mime type) file extension, the other one manages all files in a given directory (e.g. Dicom images). For the latter you have to redefine hasDataDirectory().

The following methods HAVE to be redefined in your subclass:

• getName
• getDescription
• getFileExtensions
• open

The following methods can be redefined:

• save: saving from a Component to one of the managed format
• hasDataDirectory: for directory type extension

open()

virtual Component* camitk::ComponentExtension::open ( const QString &  )

pure virtual

get a new instance from data stored in a file (this is the most important method to redefine in your subclass)

This method may throw an AbortException if a problem occurs.

Note

The parameter is a filename with an absolute path (from Qt's QFileInfo::absoluteFilePath method): On Unix (including Mac OS) this will always begin with the root, '/', directory. On Windows this will always begin 'D:/' where D is a drive letter, except for network shares that are not mapped to a drive letter, in which case the path will begin '//sharename/'

Implemented in camitk::MeshComponentExtension, camitk::ImageComponentExtension, WorkspaceExtension, VtkMeshComponentExtension, VtkImageComponentExtension, VRMLComponentExtension, StlExtension, OffExtension, ObjExtension, MshExtension, PMLComponentExtension, MMLComponentExtension, ItkImageComponentExtension, and DicomComponentExtension.

Referenced by camitk::Application::open(), and camitk::Application::openDirectory().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

save()

bool camitk::ComponentExtension::save ( Component *  component ) const

virtual

save a given Component (does not have to be top-level) into one of the currently managed format (check the component QFileInfo(component->getFileName()).completeSuffix().

Redefine this method to extract all needed data/information from the Geometry or BitMap representation in order to export a given component to one of the file extension managed by this component extension.

Note

this will enable to export to one of the managed filename extension at the CamiTK level (i.e. if you write this method, any compatible component can be saved to your managed format!

this method is called by CamiTK only if the filename extension is managed by this component extension. There should be no need to check it in the method.

The default behaviour is a "not implemented yet" message box.

Returns

false if the operation was not performed properly or not performed at all.

Reimplemented in WorkspaceExtension, StlExtension, OffExtension, ObjExtension, MshExtension, PMLComponentExtension, MMLComponentExtension, VtkMeshComponentExtension, VtkImageComponentExtension, VRMLComponentExtension, ItkImageComponentExtension, and DicomComponentExtension.
