Member Function Documentation

constructFromGeometry()

static Drawable::Ptr constructFromGeometry ( const std::string &  str, const std::string &  name, bool  useCache = false  )

static

Factory method constructing a Drawable based on a Geometry ID string.

The method constructs a Drawable representing the geometry described in the string

An exception is thrown if the string cannot be parsed correctly.

Parameters

str	[in] Geometry ID string
name	[in] the id/name of the drawable
useCache	[in] True to use caching. Default false

Returns

Point to drawable object

getDrawable()

static Drawable::Ptr getDrawable ( const std::string &  str, const std::string &  name  )

static

Factory method for constructing a Drawable based on a string.

The method probes the string to see it describes a geometric primitive or a file name. In case of a geometric primitive it forwards to call to DrawableFactory::ConstructDrawableFromGeometry. Otherwise it calls DrawableFactory::LoadDrawableFile otherwise

loadDrawableFile()

static Drawable::Ptr loadDrawableFile ( const std::string &  filename, const std::string &  name  )

static

Factory method constructing a Drawable from a file.

Parameters

filename	[in] path and name of file to load
name	[in] the id/name of the drawable

Returns

drawable

The factory determines which type of Drawable to used based on the filename extension. In case no extension exists if test whether a file with the same name or a .stl, .stla, .stlb, .3ds, .ac or .ac3d exists.

An exception is thrown if the file can't be loaded.
