Detailed Description

Write data to disk in LDM format.

Creates an LDM file (in the VSG .ldm format) and allows the application to store data blocks in any order. The most common usage is to store blocks of full resolution data. This class can automatically generate the lower resolution (subsampled) tiles after the full resolution data has been stored (when the finish() method is called and doMultiResolution is set to TRUE). However the writeTile() method also allows the application to directly store lower resolution tiles in case a proprietary subsampling algorithm is being used.
The result will normally be a .ldm file (LDM header) and a .dat file (data).

It is not necessary, in all cases, to create the lower resolution tiles or even to create the complete set of full resolution tiles. This class supports partial writing feature. If some tiles are missing when the finish method is called, then in addition to the header and data files there will also be a .fcp file with the same name as the header and data files. The LDM header file will contain a reference to this file in the CompletionFilename tag. The .fcp file stores information about which tiles actually exist. Tiles that do not exist are considered to be filled with a constant default value (see defaultValue). This feature allows us, for example, to compute and visualize a subset of the volume before committing to computation on the whole volume. However note that the writer currently pre-allocates disk space for the ".dat" file assuming that all tiles will exist. So skipping creation of the subsampled tiles or writing only a subset of the tiles can reduce computation time and disk I/O time, but it does not reduce the disk space requirement for the volume.

The first step is to create an SoVRLdmFileWriter object and initialize it with the desired characteristics for the output volume. The initialize methods initialize the writer using its current parameters. It must not be modified once initialized.

The next step is to write data into the LDM file using the writeTile methods.

The final step is to call the finish method. This will optionally generate the lower resolution tiles (see doMultiResolution), cleanup and close the LDM file.

EXAMPLE

SoVRLdmFileWriter* writer = new SoVRLdmFileWriter();
// set parameters
writer->headerFilename = "myFile.ldm";
writer->dimension.setValue( 128, 128, 128 );
writer->extent.setValue( -1,-1,-1, 1,1,1  );
 
// Initialize
writer->initialize();
 
// Write data
SoLDMTileID tileID = 0;
SoCpuBufferObject* tileBuffer = new SoCpuBufferObject();
writer->writeTile( tileID, tileBuffer );
 
// Finalize
writer->finish();

Member Data Documentation

◆ bitSetThreashold

SoSFDouble SoVRLdmFileWriter::bitSetThreashold

Set the bitset threshold value.

For each value (V) of a dataset, if V > threshold the bitset is set to 1 for this bit, or to 0 otherwise. Default is 0. Used only if saveAsBitSet is TRUE.

Definition at line 192 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ compressionLevel

SoSFInt32 SoVRLdmFileWriter::compressionLevel

Set compression level.

The meaning of this parameter depends on the type of compression used (see compressionName): -For gzip, it must be between 0 and 9: 0 gives no compression, 9 gives best compression but slower speed. Default is 3. -For jpeg, it must be between 0 and 100: 0 gives best compression but most loss of data, 100 gives minimum compression and minimum data alteration. Default is 85.

-1 use default value of specified compressor (3 for gzip, 85 for jpeg). Default is -1.

Definition at line 257 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ compressionName

SoSFString SoVRLdmFileWriter::compressionName

Compression name.

The following compression types are currently supported: "gzip" and "jpeg". Jpeg is a lossy compression format and should not be used if data degradation is unacceptable. You can set the compressionLevel field to adjust compression quality. If empty, no compression will be used. Default is empty.

Definition at line 241 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ coordinatesX

SoMFFloat SoVRLdmFileWriter::coordinatesX

Rectilinear coordinates along X.

Used only if coordinateType is COORDINATES_RECTILINEAR.

Definition at line 282 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ coordinatesY

SoMFFloat SoVRLdmFileWriter::coordinatesY

Rectilinear coordinates along Y.

Used only if coordinateType is COORDINATES_RECTILINEAR.

Definition at line 285 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ coordinatesZ

SoMFFloat SoVRLdmFileWriter::coordinatesZ

Rectilinear coordinates along Z.

Used only if coordinateType is COORDINATES_RECTILINEAR.

Definition at line 288 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ coordinateType

SoSFEnum SoVRLdmFileWriter::coordinateType

Use enum CoordinateType.

Default is COORDINATES_UNIFORM.

Definition at line 279 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ crcCheck

SoSFBool SoVRLdmFileWriter::crcCheck

Set CRC32 check on compression.

When compression is enabled using (see compressionName), adds a data integrity check value to all compressed tiles. If the environment variable LDM_COMPRESS_CHECK_CRC32 is set, data values will be checked each time they are read from disk. Default is FALSE.

Definition at line 272 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ dataFilename

SoSFString SoVRLdmFileWriter::dataFilename

Data Filename.

By default, take headerFilename and use ".ldm" extension.

Definition at line 161 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ defaultValue

SoSFDouble SoVRLdmFileWriter::defaultValue

Set the default value.

The given value will be stored in the LDM file. Default is 0. If tiles are missing, LDM will use this value to display missing tiles.

Definition at line 231 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ doMultiResolution

SoSFBool SoVRLdmFileWriter::doMultiResolution

Auto compute sub-resolution tiles when finish writing.

Default is true.

Definition at line 171 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ enableHistogram

SoSFBool SoVRLdmFileWriter::enableHistogram

Specify if the histogram must be computed or not.

Default is TRUE.

Disabling histogram generation will greatly speedup the writing process, but some VolumeViz rendering features and optimizations won't be available.

Enabling the histogram enables computation of:

dataset min and max values
per Tile min max values

Note also that if RGBA mode is set then no histogram is computed.

Definition at line 210 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ enableTileMinMax

SoSFBool SoVRLdmFileWriter::enableTileMinMax

Specify if tile min/max should be computed even if enableHistogram is false.

Note that when enableHistogram to true, tile min/max is always computed. Default is false.

Definition at line 217 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ headerFilename

SoSFString SoVRLdmFileWriter::headerFilename

Header Filename.

Definition at line 158 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ headerOnly

SoSFBool SoVRLdmFileWriter::headerOnly

Generate only header file.

Default is FALSE.

Definition at line 260 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ inputDataRange

SoSFVec2d SoVRLdmFileWriter::inputDataRange

Range of input datas ((min, max) of data).

If not specified, range has to be computed, which will increase writing time. Default is an invalid range (1, -1)

Definition at line 276 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ isRGBA

SoSFBool SoVRLdmFileWriter::isRGBA

true if RGBA mode (output will be unsigned int32 RGBA values).

Default is FALSE.

Definition at line 196 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ lowResAlgorithm

SoSFInt32 SoVRLdmFileWriter::lowResAlgorithm

Specifies the algorithm used to build low resolution tiles.

Available options are :

0 to use decimation algorithm (one voxel out of two).
n to use weighted average algorithm : voxels of tile of resolution N+1 are built from the average of the 6 neighbors from resolution N and the current voxel value weighted by n. by default the decimation algorithm is used (n=0).

Definition at line 180 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ originalFilename

SoSFString SoVRLdmFileWriter::originalFilename

Filename of original file.

Empty by default. Needed if you want to keep an "history" of file.

Definition at line 165 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ saveAsBitSet

SoSFBool SoVRLdmFileWriter::saveAsBitSet

Save the data as a bitSet (8 values per byte).

You should specified the bitSetThreashold if you use this feature. Default is FALSE.

Definition at line 184 of file SoVRLdmFileWriter.h.

◆ tileDimension
