Detailed Description

Base class for LDM data set readers

This is the base class for specific LDM readers.

See SoVRLdmFileReader for a specific implementation.

This class retrieves the XML tags from an LDM header file (usually a .ldm file) that are general to all LDM files, i.e. the tags that are interpreted by VolumeViz.

Custom tags for classes derived from SoLDMReader can be retrieved by overriding the handleHeader method.

General tags common for all LDM Readers are:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<VolumeInformation>
  <OriginalFile>3dhead.vol</OriginalFile>
  <Size> //or dimension//
    <U>256</U>
    <V>256</V>
    <W>109</W>
  </Size>
  <TileSize>
    <U>64</U>
    <V>64</V>
    <W>64</W>
  </TileSize>
  <DataType>
     <Type>n</Type><Num>m</Num>
     ...
  <DataType>
  <DataFilename>3DHEAD.dat</DataFilename>//separate datafile//
  <WordFormat>1</WordFormat>//data stored in little/big endian//
  <CompletionFilename>3dhead.fcp</CompletionFilename>//if the conversion was interrupted, refer to this file
 
  <RectilinearMapping>
   <mapping axis="U">
    <map>-180</map>
    <map>-160</map>
    ... one entry per voxel on U axis
   </mapping>
    ... repeat for V, W axis
  </RectilinearMapping>

Note that the minimum tags that MUST be in the LDM header are <Size> or <Dimension> and <TileSize>. Otherwise the reader will throw a "tag missing" exception.

The file ID corresponds to the tile ID in an LDM data file. If returns FALSE, not supported.

Definition at line 675 of file SoLDMReader.h.

◆ getBorderFlag()

◆ getClassTypeId()

static SoType SoLDMReader::getClassTypeId ( )

static

◆ getConfiguredWriter()

virtual SoVolumeWriter * SoLDMReader::getConfiguredWriter ( )

virtual

Returns a volume writer that corresponds to this reader
(same format, parameters, etc).

If no writer can be created, NULL is returned.

Notes:

The simplest way to implement this behavior is to return a new writer every time.
The returned writer is not synchronized with this reader nor with other writers.

The returned writer must be manually refed/unrefed.

For example:

MyVolumeReader* reader = new MyVolumeReader();
reader->setFilename( "someFile.dat" );
MyVolumeWriter* writer1 = (MyVolumeWriter*)reader->getConfiguredWriter();
// This writer will write to "someFile.dat"
 
reader->setFilename( "someOtherFile.dat" );
// The writer will still write to "someFile.dat"
 
writer1->setFilename( "stillAnotherFile.dat" );
SoVolumeWriter* writer2 = reader->getConfiguredWriter();
// writer2 will write to "someOtherFile.dat", because the
// reader is configured to read from "someOtherFile.dat"

inlinevirtual

Note: SoLDMReader does not implement this method.

Reimplemented from SoVolumeReader.

Reimplemented in SoVRLdmFileReader.

Definition at line 687 of file SoLDMReader.h.

◆ getTileMinMax()

virtual SbVec2d SoLDMReader::getTileMinMax ( int index ) const

virtual

Returns the minimum and maximum data values for the given tile.

This information benefits optimizations such as SoLDMGlobalResourceParameters::setIgnoreFullyTransparentTiles and custom SoVolumeReader able to return SoCpuBufferUniform.

VolumeViz will only call this method if the data is organized in tiles like the LDM file format. In other words, if isDataConverted() returned true. The LDM Converter program automatically computes this information and stores it in the LDM header file. Custom volume readers that implement tiled data, i.e. return true when isDataConverted is called, should consider implement this method when the min max values are available from their backend API.

NOTES:

Automatic computation of tile min/max values works fine for actual volume data. But we strongly recommend implementing this method for height field data (see SoHeightFieldGeometry etc). Because of the way the height field algorithm works, if tile min/max info is not available, VolumeViz must load all height field tiles before the first render. This can cause a long delay before the first rendering appears.
When all the voxels in the requested tile (fileId) have the same value, we recommend that the volume reader implement two optimizations. First, the readTile() method should return an SoCpuBufferUniform object (instead of SoCpuBufferObject). This reduces the amount of CPU and GPU memory needed to store the tile, allowing more tiles to be loaded in the same amount of memory. Second, the getTileMinMax() method should return an empty range (min = max) for this tile. This allows VolumeViz to optimize sending tiles to the GPU. However, note that the getTileMinMax() method is called before the readTile() method. So ideally the volume reader should be able to return the tile min/max without actually loading the tile data, for example by using metadata stored with the tiles.

Default implementation returns SbVec2d(numeric_limits<double>::max(),-numeric_limits<double>::max())

Parameters

index The fileId of the tile.

Reimplemented from SoVolumeReader.

◆ getTileSize()

virtual SbBool SoLDMReader::getTileSize ( SbVec3i32 & tile )

Reimplemented from SoVolumeReader.

◆ getXmlTag()

virtual SbXmlTag SoLDMReader::getXmlTag ( const char * tagName )

virtual

Gets the first occurrence of the XML element whose tag name is specified by tagName.

Then the associated value or subtags can be fetched using the SbXmlElement methods. Custom XML tags can be added to the LDM header file by using the method SoLDMConverter::setXmlCallback().

◆ handleHeader()

◆ isThreadSafe()

virtual SbBool SoLDMReader::isThreadSafe ( ) const

virtual

◆ readTile() [1/5]

virtual SoBufferObject * SoVolumeReader::readTile	(	int	index,
		const SbBox3i32 &	tilePosition
	)

virtual

Given an index, reads a tile if the data is organized in tiles (for LDM).

In the default LDM architecture, the LDM data is based on an octree topology (see SoLDMFileReader). The index passed is 0 for the tile of lowest resolution representing the entire volume (octree root node). The index increments linearly going down through the octree.

A tile can be undefined or empty which means it is not rendered and it isn't taken into account for the rendering of its adjacent cells. An empty buffer or NULL can be returned by this method to specify an undefined tile.

Parameters

index	specifies a fileID, the id of an existing tile (fileID=tileID in a cubical volume).
tilePosition	specifies the position of the data in the associated volume data of the tile corresponding to the given index. In the default SoVRLdmFileReader, the tilePosition isn't actually used but it is passed as a convenience for customized readers (can be used for mapping to a different index scheme).

Returns: the buffer containing the data of the tile, or NULL (or an empty buffer) in order to specify an undefined tile.

Reimplemented from SoVolumeReader.

Reimplemented in SoVRLdmFileBorderReader.

◆ readTile() [2/5]

virtual SoBufferObject * SoLDMReader::readTile	(	int	index,

In the default LDM architecture, the LDM data is based on an octree topology (see SoLDMFileReader). The index passed is 0 for the tile of lowest resolution representing the entire volume (octree root node). The index increments linearly going down through the octree.

Parameters

index	specifies a fileID, the id of an existing tile (fileID=tileID in a cubical volume).
tilePosition	specifies the position of the data in the associated volume data of the tile corresponding to the given index. In the default SoVRLdmFileReader, the tilePosition isn't actually used but it is passed as a convenience for customized readers (can be used for mapping to a different index scheme).

Returns a pointer to an allocated buffer containing the data.

Reimplemented in SoVRLdmFileBorderReader.

◆ readTile() [3/5]

virtual SoDEPRECATED SbBool SoVolumeReader::readTile	(	int	index,
		SoBufferObject *	buffer,
		const SbBox3i32 &	tilePosition
	)

virtual

Same as readTile(int index, unsigned char*& buffer, const SbBox3i32& tilePosition) but using an SoBufferObject (allocated by LDM) as the target of the data.

If not reimplemented then the version with "unsigned char*" parameter is called

◆ readTile() [4/5]

virtual SoDEPRECATED SbBool SoVolumeReader::readTile	(	int	index,
		unsigned char *&	buffer,
		const SbBox3i32 &	tilePosition
	)

inlinevirtual

Given an index, reads a tile if the data is organized in tiles (for LDM).

In the default LDM architecture, the LDM data is based on an octree topology (see SoVRLdmFileReader). The index passed is 0 for the tile of lowest resolution representing the entire volume (octree root node). The index increments linearly going down through the octree.

Indexing works as follows:

Tile 1 is the lower back left corner of the cube. The index increments on X, then Y, and finally Z. So the back tiles are:

3 4
1 2

And the front tiles are:

7 8
5 6

The tiles of full resolution are the leaf tiles.

In the default SoVRLdmFileReader, the tilePosition isn't actually used by the reader but it is passed as a convenience for customized readers (can be used for mapping to a different index scheme).
