Detailed Description

Methods to import and to export scene data and MDL modules.

All import and export methods use a common naming convention to identify files based on URIs as defined in [RFC3986]. Currently only the URI scheme file is supported. An empty URI scheme defaults to the file scheme. URI authorities are not supported, except for the empty URI authority, which is needed in some cases to resolve ambiguities (see below).

Within the file scheme relative and absolute URI paths are supported (see Section 4 in [RFC3986]). URI paths are mapped to filenames as follows:

URI path Filename Comment
/C:/dir1/dir2/file C:\dir1\dir2\file -
/C/dir1/dir2/file C:\dir1\dir2\file This mapping is supported in addition to the first one since a colon is a reserved character in URIs.
/dir1/dir2/file \dir1\dir2\file This mapping is only supported for top-level directory names not consisting of a single letter.
//share/dir1/dir2/file \\share\dir1\dir2\file This mapping requires an (otherwise optional) empty URI authority (//) since otherwise the share name is interpreted as URI authority.

Filenames containing hashes or questions marks are not supported by methods dealing with URIs.

In addition, the following variable can be used in URI paths, which are expanded by the Iray SDK.

See also
The API components mi::neuraylib::IImport_api and mi::neuraylib::IExport_api offer methods to convert between filenames and URIs. The Iray Programmer's Manual describes "Scene file formats" that The Iray SDK can import.

Enumeration Type Documentation

 Impexp_priority

Confidence in capabilities of an importer or exporter.

If there is more than one importer or exporter that accepts a certain file format, the importer or exporter with the highest priority is taken. Tie-breaking is unspecified.

See also
mi::neuraylib::IImpexp_base::get_priority()
Enumerator
IMPEXP_PRIORITY_OVERRIDE 

The highest priority, reserved for importers and exporters from user plugins.

IMPEXP_PRIORITY_WELL_DEFINED 

The highest possible priority for importers or exporters in plugins provided in the Iray SDK.

Use only for importers or exporters whose test function cannot fail and whose support for the format is complete.

IMPEXP_PRIORITY_AMBIGUOUS 

The test function might fail, or the format might not be fully supported.

IMPEXP_PRIORITY_GUESS 

The importer or exporter does not have a good way of detecting the format or the support is very preliminary or incomplete.

pure virtual

Returns the message of the first error.

A message describing the error condition corresponding to the error reported from get_error_number().

It is possible to query the all messages, see get_messages_length() and get_message(mi::Size)const. This method just reports the the first message of severity mi::base::details::MESSAGE_SEVERITY_ERROR or above, or NULL if there is no such message.

 get_error_message() [2/2]

virtual const char * mi::neuraylib::IImport_result::get_error_message ( ) const

 get_error_number() [1/2]

virtual Uint32 mi::neuraylib::IExport_result::get_error_number ( ) const

The error number indicates the status of the import operation: 0 means success, all other values indicate failures, in which case get_error_message() provides a diagnostic message. Numbers in the range 6000-7999 are reserved for custom exporters. All other numbers are reserved for other purposes.

It is possible to query the message numbers of all messages, see get_messages_length() and get_message_number(mi::Size)const. This method just reports the number of the first message of severity mi::base::details::MESSAGE_SEVERITY_ERROR or above, or 0 if there is no such message.

It is possible to query the message numbers of all messages, see get_messages_length() and get_message_number(mi::Size)const. This method just reports the number of the first message of severity mi::base::details::MESSAGE_SEVERITY_ERROR or above, or 0 if there is no such message.

 get_line_number()

 get_name()

virtual const char * mi::neuraylib::IImpexp_base::get_name ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns a concise single-line clear text description of the importer or exporter.

The description should name, besides maybe a product or brand name, the supported file format and, if applicable, the major file type version or versions that are supported. If a file format differs sufficiently from version to version, you may as well register different importers or exporters for each version.

This description may be used to support user interaction, such as in command-line help or selection boxes of graphical user interfaces. This method must return a valid string. This description is also used in the importer or exporter selection algorithm, which selects among importers and exporters of the same name and same author the one that has the highest version number.

 get_options()

virtual const char * mi::neuraylib::IImport_result::get_options ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the name of the options element.

If the scene file has a scene root (like a render statement in a .mi file) containing an options element, the method returns the name of the options element.

 get_parent_state()

virtual const IImpexp_state * mi::neuraylib::IImpexp_state::get_parent_state ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the state of the parent importer or exporter.

 get_priority()

virtual Impexp_priority mi::neuraylib::IImpexp_base::get_priority ( ) const

 get_rootgroup()

virtual const char * mi::neuraylib::IImport_result::get_rootgroup ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the name of the root group.

If the scene file has a scene root (like a render or root statement in a .mi file), the method returns the name of the root element. For most other files, this is the name of a group that was created by the importer and that contains the top-level scene elements. Returns NULL for .mdl files.

 get_supported_extensions()

virtual const char * mi::neuraylib::IImpexp_base::get_supported_extensions ( Uint32  i) const
pure virtual

Returns the i -th supported file name extension.

Returns
The file name extension including the separating dot, or NULL if i is out of range.

 get_uri()

virtual const char * mi::neuraylib::IImpexp_state::get_uri ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the URI for this file.

Returns
The URI of the associated file, or NULL if there is no associated file, e.g., for string-based import/export operations.

 get_uuid()

virtual base::Uuid mi::neuraylib::IImpexp_base::get_uuid ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the unique identifier for the importer or exporter.

You can register only one importer or exporter for a particular UUID. If you wish to support installations with multiple versions of your importer or exporter, you have to change the UUID for each minor and major version number change.

 incr_line_number()

virtual void mi::neuraylib::IImpexp_state::incr_line_number ( )
pure virtual

Convenience function that increments the line number by one.

Line number counting starts with 1 for the first line.

 test_file_type()

virtual bool mi::neuraylib::IImpexp_base::test_file_type ( const char *  extension) const

These more specific versions also pass an mi::neuraylib::IReader or mi::neuraylib::IWriter as argument, which can be used to look at lookahead data for magic file headers (readers only) or to decide if the reader or writer capabilities are sufficient to do the import or export (for example, random access capability).

Implemented in mi::neuraylib::IExporter, and mi::neuraylib::IImporter.
