Detailed Description

The dictionary is a data structure that stores a mapping from a fixed set of keys to a their modifiable values.

A key is represented as a string. The dictionary stores a value associated with a key. Such dictionaries are used to specify optional behavior of algorithms and data structures and for returning algorithm statistics.

The type of the dictionary values are from the set

const char*
bool
mi::Sint32
mi::Uint32
mi::Float32
mi::Float64

This data structure supports the lookup and the change of dictionary values. It does not support the manipulation of the keys itself. The intended use of this class is to obtain a default set of options from the API, e.g., all functors offer an mi::neuraylib::IFunctor_base::get_default_options() constmember function, and change the existing default values before passing the options to the algorithm or data structure.

^◆ get() [1/6]

virtual bool mi::neuraylib::IDictionary::get	(	const char *	key,
		bool	default_value
	)		const

pure virtual

Returns the value for the given key.

Returns default_value if the key does not exist.

^◆ get() [2/6]

virtual const char * mi::neuraylib::IDictionary::get	(	const char *	key,
		const char *	default_value
	)		const

pure virtual

Returns the value for the given key.

Returns default_value if the key does not exist.

^◆ get() [3/6]

virtual Float32 mi::neuraylib::IDictionary::get	(	const char *	key,
		Float32	default_value
	)		const

pure virtual

Returns the value for the given key.

Returns default_value if the key does not exist.

^◆ get() [4/6]

virtual Float64 mi::neuraylib::IDictionary::get	(	const char *	key,
		Float64	default_value
	)		const

pure virtual

Returns the value for the given key.

Returns default_value if the key does not exist.

^◆ get() [5/6]

virtual Sint32 mi::neuraylib::IDictionary::get	(	const char *	key,
		Sint32	default_value
	)		const

pure virtual

Returns the value for the given key.

Returns default_value if the key does not exist.

^◆ get() [6/6]

virtual Uint32 mi::neuraylib::IDictionary::get	(	const char *	key,
		Uint32	default_value
	)		const

pure virtual

Returns the value for the given key.

Returns default_value if the key does not exist.

^◆ is_defined()

virtual bool mi::neuraylib::IDictionary::is_defined ( const char * key ) const

pure virtual

Returns true if and only if the given key exists.

^◆ is_invalid()

virtual bool mi::neuraylib::IDictionary::is_invalid ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the invalidity flag of the dictionary.

This flag may be raised, for instance, if a value of an unknown key has been tried to set.

^◆ set() [1/6]

virtual bool mi::neuraylib::IDictionary::set	(	const char *	key,
		bool	value
	)

pure virtual

Sets the value of the given key to the given value.

Attempts to set the value of an unknown key raise the invalidity flag and the dictionary becomes unusable for the corresponding algorithm. In this case, the key value is unchanged.

Parameters

key	The key whose value is to be changed.
value	The new value to be assigned.

Returns: Returns true on success, and false otherwise.

^◆ set() [2/6]

virtual bool mi::neuraylib::IDictionary::set	(	const char *	key,
		const char *	value
	)

pure virtual

Sets the value of the given key to the given value.

Attempts to set the value of an unknown key raise the invalidity flag and the dictionary becomes unusable for the corresponding algorithm. In this case, the key value is unchanged.

Parameters

key	The key whose value is to be changed.
value	The new value to be assigned.

Returns: Returns true on success, and false otherwise.

^◆ set() [3/6]

virtual bool mi::neuraylib::IDictionary::set	(	const char *	key,
		Float32	value
	)

pure virtual

Sets the value of the given key to the given value.

Attempts to set the value of an unknown key raise the invalidity flag and the dictionary becomes unusable for the corresponding algorithm. In this case, the key value is unchanged.

Parameters

key	The key whose value is to be changed.
value	The new value to be assigned.

Returns: Returns true on success, and false otherwise.

^◆ set() [4/6]

virtual bool mi::neuraylib::IDictionary::set	(	const char *	key,
		Float64	value
	)

pure virtual

Sets the value of the given key to the given value.

Attempts to set the value of an unknown key raise the invalidity flag and the dictionary becomes unusable for the corresponding algorithm. In this case, the key value is unchanged.

Parameters

key	The key whose value is to be changed.
value	The new value to be assigned.

Returns: Returns true on success, and false otherwise.

^◆ set() [5/6]

virtual bool mi::neuraylib::IDictionary::set	(	const char *	key,
		Sint32	value
	)

pure virtual

Sets the value of the given key to the given value.

Attempts to set the value of an unknown key raise the invalidity flag and the dictionary becomes unusable for the corresponding algorithm. In this case, the key value is unchanged.

Parameters

key	The key whose value is to be changed.
value	The new value to be assigned.

Returns: Returns true on success, and false otherwise.

^◆ set() [6/6]

virtual bool mi::neuraylib::IDictionary::set	(	const char *	key,
		Uint32	value
	)

pure virtual

Sets the value of the given key to the given value.

Attempts to set the value of an unknown key raise the invalidity flag and the dictionary becomes unusable for the corresponding algorithm. In this case, the key value is unchanged.

Parameters

key	The key whose value is to be changed.
value	The new value to be assigned.

Returns: Returns true on success, and false otherwise.
