Detailed Description

Interface for writing data to a ptex file.

Note: if an alpha channel is specified, then the textures being written to the file are expected to have unmultiplied-alpha data. Generated mipmaps will be premultiplied by the Ptex library. On read, PtexTexture will (if requested) premultiply all textures by alpha when getData is called; by default only reductions are premultiplied. If the source textures are already premultiplied, then alphachan can be set to -1 and the library will just leave all the data as-is. The only reason to store unmultiplied-alpha textures in the file is to preserve the original texture data for later editing.

Member Function Documentation

◆ applyEdits()

bool PtexWriter::applyEdits	(	const char *	path,
		Ptex::String &	error
	)

static

Apply edits to a file.

If a file has pending edits, the edits will be applied and the file will be regenerated with no edits. This is equivalent to calling edit() with incremental set to false. The advantage is that the file attributes such as mesh type, data type, etc., don't need to be known in advance.

◆ close()

virtual bool PtexWriter::close ( Ptex::String & error )

pure virtual

Close the file.

This operation can take some time if mipmaps are being generated or if there are many edit blocks. If an error occurs while writing, false is returned and an error string is written into the error parameter.

Implemented in PtexIncrWriter, PtexMainWriter, and PtexWriterBase.

Referenced by applyEdits().

◆ edit()

PtexWriter * PtexWriter::edit	(	const char *	path,
		bool	incremental,
		Ptex::MeshType	mt,
		Ptex::DataType	dt,
		int	nchannels,
		int	alphachan,
		int	nfaces,
		Ptex::String &	error,
		bool	genmipmaps = `true`
	)

static

Open an existing texture file for writing.

If the incremental param is specified as true, then data values written to the file are appended to the file as "edit blocks". This is the fastest way to write data to the file, but edit blocks are slower to read back, and they have no mipmaps so filtering can be inefficient.

If incremental is false, then the edits are applied to the file and the entire file is regenerated on close as if it were written all at once with open().

If the file doesn't exist it will be created and written as if open() were used. If the file exists, the mesh type, data type, number of channels, alpha channel, and number of faces must agree with those stored in the file.

◆ open()

PtexWriter * PtexWriter::open	(	const char *	path,
		Ptex::MeshType	mt,
		Ptex::DataType	dt,
		int	nchannels,
		int	alphachan,
		int	nfaces,
		Ptex::String &	error,
		bool	genmipmaps = `true`
	)

static

Open a new texture file for writing.

Parameters

path	Path to file.
mt	Type of mesh for which the textures are defined.
dt	Type of data stored within file.
nchannels	Number of data channels.
alphachan	Index of alpha channel, [0..nchannels-1] or -1 if no alpha channel is present.
nfaces	Number of faces in mesh.
error	String containing error message if open failed.
genmipmaps	Specify true if mipmaps should be generated.

◆ release()

virtual void PtexWriter::release ( )

pure virtual

Release resources held by this pointer (pointer becomes invalid).

Implemented in PtexWriterBase.

◆ setBorderModes()

virtual void PtexWriter::setBorderModes	(	Ptex::BorderMode	uBorderMode,
		Ptex::BorderMode	vBorderMode
	)

pure virtual

Set border modes.

Implemented in PtexWriterBase.

◆ setEdgeFilterMode()

virtual void PtexWriter::setEdgeFilterMode ( Ptex::EdgeFilterMode edgeFilterMode )

pure virtual

Set edge filter mode.

Implemented in PtexWriterBase.

◆ writeConstantFace()

virtual bool PtexWriter::writeConstantFace	(	int	faceid,
		const Ptex::FaceInfo &	info,
		const void *	data
	)

pure virtual

Write constant texture data for a face.

The data is written as a single constant texel value. Note: the resolution specified in the info param may indicate a resolution greater than 1x1 and the value will be preserved when reading. This is useful to indicate a texture's logical resolution even when the data is constant.

◆ writeFace()

virtual bool PtexWriter::writeFace	(	int	faceid,
		const Ptex::FaceInfo &	info,
		const void *	data,
		int	stride = `0`
	)

pure virtual

Write texture data for a face.

The data is assumed to be channel-interleaved per texel and stored in v-major order.

Parameters

faceid	Face index [0..nfaces-1].
info	Face resolution and adjacency information.
data	Texel data.
stride	Distance between rows, in bytes (if zero, data is assumed packed).

If an error is encountered while writing, false is returned and an error message can be retrieved when close is called.

◆ writeMeta() [1/7]

virtual void PtexWriter::writeMeta	(	const char *	key,
		const char *	string
	)

pure virtual

Write a string as meta data.

Both the key and string params must be null-terminated strings.

Implemented in PtexWriterBase.
