Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
int	canReadData(java.io.File inputFile) Method that determines if this reader can read geometry from the specified input file.
boolean	canWriteData() Returns true.
java.lang.String	getExtension() Returns the preferred file extension (not including the ".") for files of this GeomReader's type.
boolean	isUnitAware() This method always returns false as TRI files do not encode the units that are being used.
GeomList<TriangleList>	read(java.io.File inputFile) Reads in a Cart3D ASCII Configuration *.tri formatted geometry file from the specified input file and returns a GeomList object that contains a set of TriangleList objects (1 for each "configuration" in the *.tri file or a single one if the *.tri file is a component file only).
java.lang.String	toString() Returns a string representation of the object.
void	write(java.io.File outputFile, GeometryList geometry) Writes out a Cart3D ASCII Configuration *.tri formatted geometry file for the geometry contained in the supplied geometry list.

TRIGeomReader

Method Detail

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns a string representation of the object. This will return a brief description of the format read by this reader.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

A brief description of the format read by this reader.

getExtension

public java.lang.String getExtension()

Returns the preferred file extension (not including the ".") for files of this GeomReader's type.

Returns:

The preferred file extension for files of this readers type.

canReadData

public int canReadData(java.io.File inputFile)
                throws java.io.IOException

Method that determines if this reader can read geometry from the specified input file.

Specified by:

canReadData in interface GeomReader

Overrides:

canReadData in class AbstractGeomReader

Parameters:

inputFile - The input file containing the geometry to be read in.

Returns:

GeomReader.NO if the file format is not recognized by this reader. GeomReader.YES if the file has the extension ".geo" or ".mk5". GeomReader.MAYBE if the file has the extension ".lib".

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If there is a problem reading from the specified file.

canWriteData

public boolean canWriteData()

Returns true. This class can write triangle and quad-paneled point geometry data to an ASCII *.tri formatted file.

Specified by:

canWriteData in interface GeomReader

Overrides:

canWriteData in class AbstractGeomReader

Returns:

this method always returns true

read

public GeomList<TriangleList> read(java.io.File inputFile)
                            throws java.io.IOException

Reads in a Cart3D ASCII Configuration *.tri formatted geometry file from the specified input file and returns a GeomList object that contains a set of TriangleList objects (1 for each "configuration" in the *.tri file or a single one if the *.tri file is a component file only).

WARNING: This file format is not unit aware. You must set the units to be used by calling "setFileUnits()" before calling this method!

Specified by:

read in interface GeomReader

Overrides:

read in class AbstractGeomReader

Parameters:

inputFile - The input file containing the geometry to be read in. May not be null.

Returns:

A GeomList object containing the geometry read in from the file. If the file has no geometry in it, then this list will have no triangles in it (will have a size() of zero).

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If there is a problem reading the specified file.

AbstractGeomReader.setFileUnits(javax.measure.unit.Unit)

write

public void write(java.io.File outputFile,
                  GeometryList geometry)
           throws java.io.IOException

Writes out a Cart3D ASCII Configuration *.tri formatted geometry file for the geometry contained in the supplied geometry list. If the list contains only triangles, they are written out as a "Component TRI file". If the list contains lists of triangles, each are written out as separate configurations in a "Configuration TRI file". If the list contains a PointVehicle, then each PointComponent is triangulated and written out as a separate configuration in a "Configuration TRI file". If no triangle or point array based geometry can be found in the geometry list, then nothing will happen (the output file will not be created).

The user data key "TRI_TOL" can optionally be set to a Parameter containing the tolerance to use when determining if vertices are coincident. If not supplied, a default tolerance will be used that essentially requires identical vertex coordinates in order to be coincident.

WARNING: This format is not unit aware. The geometry will be written out in whatever its current units are! Make sure to convert to the desired units for the file before calling this method.

Specified by:

write in interface GeomReader

Overrides:

write in class AbstractGeomReader

Parameters:

outputFile - The output file to which the geometry is to be written. May not be null.

geometry - The list of triangle or point array geometry to be written out. May not be null.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If there is a problem writing to the specified file.

isUnitAware

public boolean isUnitAware()

This method always returns false as TRI files do not encode the units that are being used. You must call setFileUnits to set the units being used before reading from a file of this format.

Returns:

This implementation always returns false.
