Detailed Description

Data compression

This is an abstract class which is only needed for advanced users who intend to add a new LDM data compression technique.

By implementing each virtual method of this class, it is possible to create a new compression algorithm. As with a custom node, the initClass of the custom compressor must be called before creating and instantiating an instance of the custom class. After you call initClass, the compression algorithm will be available in the '-c' option of SoConverter.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SoDataCompressor()

SoDataCompressor::SoDataCompressor ( )

inline

Constructor.

Definition at line 120 of file SoDataCompressor.h.

◆ ~SoDataCompressor()

virtual SoDataCompressor::~SoDataCompressor ( )

inlinevirtual

Destructor.

Definition at line 124 of file SoDataCompressor.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ allocateCompressedBuffer()

virtual void * SoDataCompressor::allocateCompressedBuffer ( size_t size )

inlinevirtual

Allocates the internal buffer to hold the compressed data.

Parameters

size	is the size to allocate in bytes.

Definition at line 179 of file SoDataCompressor.h.

◆ compress()

virtual size_t SoDataCompressor::compress	(	void *	src,
		size_t	srcLen,
		const TileInfo &	tileInfo
	)

pure virtual

Compresses the given buffer into the internal buffer.

Parameters

src	a pointer to the data to compress.
srcLen	the size of the source buffer in bytes.
tileInfo	contains information about the tile being processed.

Returns: The size in bytes of the compressed buffer.

Implemented in SoGzipDataCompressor, SoJp3dDataCompressor, and SoJpegDataCompressor.

◆ crc32()

static size_t SoDataCompressor::crc32	(	const void *	buf,
		size_t	len
	)

static

Utility function to get the CRC32 of a buffer.

Parameters

buf	a pointer to the data.
len	the size of the buffer.

Returns: The CRC32 of the data.

◆ getAppropriateCompressor()

static SoDataCompressor * SoDataCompressor::getAppropriateCompressor ( const SbString & name )

static

Create and return an instance of a compressor of the given type.

Parameters

name	The name of the compressor.

Returns: A pointer to the newly created compressor. If this compressor is not available, returns NULL.

◆ getAvailableCompressors()

static SbStringList SoDataCompressor::getAvailableCompressors ( )

static

Return a list of all available compressors.

◆ getCompressedBuffer()

virtual void * SoDataCompressor::getCompressedBuffer ( )

inlinevirtual

Returns the compressed data.

This pointer must not be deleted.

Returns: A pointer to the compressed data.

Definition at line 194 of file SoDataCompressor.h.

◆ getCompressionFormatName()

virtual SbString SoDataCompressor::getCompressionFormatName ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the name of the compression algorithm used by this class.

This is the name the user will pass to the "-c" option of the converter, so it should be something simple and clear.

Returns: A SbString containing the name of the compression.

Implemented in SoGzipDataCompressor, SoJp3dDataCompressor, and SoJpegDataCompressor.

◆ getCompressionLevel()

virtual size_t SoDataCompressor::getCompressionLevel ( )

inlinevirtual

Returns the compression level.

Returns: The level of compression. See setCompressionLevel.

Definition at line 209 of file SoDataCompressor.h.

◆ isLossless()

virtual bool SoDataCompressor::isLossless ( )

pure virtual

Returns true if the compression algorithm is lossless.

Warning: It allows the converter to know if it must do CRC32 on original data or decompressed data when the '-C' option is enabled. Computing CRC32 on lossy compression is more costly than on lossless compression because data must be uncompressed before applying the CRC32 in order to have the real data stored in the file. Setting the environment variable LDM_COMPRESS_CHECK_CRC32 to 1 will force the LDM reader to check data integrity.

Returns: True if the compression is lossless.

Implemented in SoGzipDataCompressor, SoJp3dDataCompressor, and SoJpegDataCompressor.

◆ setCompressionLevel()

virtual void SoDataCompressor::setCompressionLevel ( size_t level )

inlinevirtual

Sets the compression level.

Parameters

level the level of the compression used. Valid compression levels are specific to the compression algorithm.

Definition at line 172 of file SoDataCompressor.h.

◆ uncompress()

virtual size_t SoDataCompressor::uncompress	(	void *	dest,
		size_t	destLen,
		const TileInfo &	tileInfo
	)

pure virtual

Uncompresses data from the internal buffer to the given buffer.

Parameters

dest	a pointer to the destination buffer.
destLen	the size of the destination buffer in bytes.
tileInfo	contains information about the tile being processed.

Returns: The number of uncompressed bytes.

Implemented in SoGzipDataCompressor, SoJpegDataCompressor, and SoJp3dDataCompressor.
