Detailed Description

The SoInput class is an abstraction of file import functionality. This class takes care of most of the chores of doing data import in Coin. It puts a layer of abstraction over the read operations to make it transparent for the rest of the Coin code whether or not we're reading from a file, from a memory buffer or from stdin.

SoInput also takes care of checking file validity, as well as handling information about features in the various file formats which are supported.

Example usage:

int
main(void)
{
  SoDB::init();
  SoInput in;
  if (in.openFile("fab_model.iv")) {
    SoSeparator * root = SoDB::readAll(&in);
    if (root) {
      // Do stuff with the imported scene graph here
      // ...
      return 0;
    }
  }
  return 1;
}

Important note: there are several public and protected methods which make it possible to pass in or get returned FILE* structures in this class. Do not use these methods when the Coin library has been compiled as an Microsoft Windows DLL, as passing FILE* instances back or forth to DLLs is dangerous and will most likely cause a crash. This is an intrinsic limitation for Microsoft Windows DLLs.

This class supports one environment variable called COIN_SOINPUT_SEARCH_GLOBAL_DICT. When set to '1', the global dictionary is searched after the current file dictionary when resolving USE keywords. This makes it possible to reference nodes in other files. The reason for introducing this feature is that the SoFile node rereads the file whenever the name field changes. The first time the file is read, it is possible to reference nodes in the parent file, using the USE keyword. But, when the file is reread this is no longer possible, since the reading now starts at the SoFile node, with an empty dictionary.

  void SoInput::addRoute (const SbName & fromnode, const SbName & fromfield, const SbName & tonode, const SbName & tofield)
Adds a ROUTE from fromnode's fromfield, to tonode's tofield. This makes it possible to define ROUTEs in files before the fromnode or tonode is parsed.

This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

Since
    Coin 2.0

  SbBool SoInput::checkISReference (SoFieldContainer * container, const SbName & fieldname, SbBool & readok)
Checks if the next bytes in in is the IS keyword. Returns TRUE if the IS keyword was found, readok will be set to FALSE if some error occurred while searching for the IS keyword.

This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

Since
    Coin 2.0

  void SoInput::setFilePointer (FILE * newFP) [virtual]
Uses the given file pointer as the input file. The input stack of files will be emptied first. Closing a file passed in by its file pointer is the library user's responsibility.

Important note: do not use this method when the Coin library has been compiled as a Microsoft Windows DLL, as passing FILE* instances back or forth to DLLs is dangerous and will most likely cause a crash. This is an intrinsic limitation for Microsoft Windows DLLs.

Note that it is not allowed to pass a FILE* to a gzip-compressed file under Mac OS X.

See also
    openFile(), closeFile()

  SbBool SoInput::openFile (const char * fileName, SbBool okIfNotFound = FALSE) [virtual]
Open the given file, and make it the only one in the file stack. If okIfNotFound is FALSE, show a warning message if the file could not be opened.

Returns TRUE if file could be opened for reading, FALSE otherwise.

Note: even if your attempt at opening a file is unsuccessful, the SoInput instance will not default to reading from stdin after a call has been made to this method.

See also
    setFilePointer(), pushFile(), closeFile()

  SbBool SoInput::pushFile (const char * filename) [virtual]
Push a new file on top of the stack. Further read operations will take place with the new file until it reaches end-of-file, upon when the file will be popped of the stack and we'll continue with the next file in the stack.

Returns TRUE if the file could be opened for reading, FALSE otherwise.

See also
    openFile()

  void SoInput::closeFile (void) [virtual]
Removes all files from the internal stack. Any files opened by openFile() or pushFile() will also be closed, but not the files coming from setFilePointer() -- which are the responsibility of the caller.

You usually don't need to call this method explicitly, as it will automatically be triggered by the SoInput destructor to close any open files when the SoInput instance goes out of scope.

See also
    setFilePointer(), openFile(), pushFile()

  SbBool SoInput::isValidFile (void) [virtual]
Checks to see if the current file is a valid file which can be read by the Coin library.

When reading files through e.g. SoDB::readAll(), this is automatically checked for you, so application code should usually not need to use this method.

  SbBool SoInput::isValidBuffer (void) [virtual]
Returns TRUE if the current text buffer represents a valid iv-file which can be read by the Coin library.

When reading files through e.g. SoDB::readAll(), this is automatically checked for you, so application code should usually not need to use this method.

  FILE * SoInput::getCurFile (void) const [virtual]
Returns file pointer of the file on top of the input stack. If the 'file' is actually a memory buffer, returns NULL.

Important note: do not use this method when the Coin library has been compiled as an Microsoft Windows DLL, as passing FILE* instances back or forth to DLLs is dangerous and will most likely cause a crash. This is an intrinsic limitation for Microsoft Windows DLLs.

See also
    getCurFileName()

  const char * SoInput::getCurFileName (void) const [virtual]
Returns the name of the file on top of the input stack. NULL will be returned if the top level 'file' is a memory buffer.

See also
    getCurFile()

  void SoInput::setBuffer (const void * bufpointer, size_t bufsize) [virtual]
Sets up the input stream for reading from a memory buffer. Closes all open files in the file stack first.

In the original SGI Inventor API this method was designed as 'char * bufpointer', Coin followed this until Coin 3, but changed the signature to const from Coin 4.0.

  void SoInput::setStringArray (const char * strings[])
Sets up the input stream for reading from the strings pointed to by a NULL-terminated array of string pointers. It is intended for reading memory-inlined scene graphs.

The rationale for this function is that there is a compiler portability problem with compiling large, static string buffers. Some compilers have fixed max-lengths on this feature, just over 1KB, which obviously becomes a problem real fast. This method lets you specify the buffer as an array of smaller string buffers, typically one string for each line in the Inventor file.

makeSceneGraph(void) {
  static const char * inlinescenegraph[] = {
    "#Inventor V2.1 ascii,
    ",
    "Separator {,
    "  Cube {,
    "  },
    "},
    NULL
  };
  SoInput in;
  if ( !in.setStringArray(inlinescenegraph) ) return NULL;
  return SoDB::readAll(&in);
}

    setBuffer()

This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

Since
    Coin 2.1

  size_t SoInput::getNumBytesRead (void) const [virtual]
Returns number of bytes read so far from the current file or memory buffer. You can only use this method while you're reading the file. When the reading has finished, the current file is popped off the file stack, and a more or less random number is returned. You should use the stat() system call to find the size of a file (or fseek() and ftell()).

  SbString SoInput::getHeader (void) [virtual]
Returns header of current file.

  float SoInput::getIVVersion (void) [virtual]
Returns the library version needed to read a file with the given header. If the header of the current file is not valid, this method returns 0.0f.

  SbBool SoInput::isBinary (void) [virtual]
Returns TRUE if the current file is in binary format.

  SbBool SoInput::get (char & c) [virtual]
Get next character in current stream. Returns FALSE on end of file.

See also
    read()

  SbBool SoInput::getASCIIBuffer (char & c) [virtual]
Returns next character in current stream. Don't use this method -- SoInput is supposed to hide whether or not you are reading from file or memory. It is only included for compatibility reasons.

  SbBool SoInput::getASCIIFile (char & c) [virtual]
Returns next character in current stream. Don't use this method -- SoInput is supposed to hide whether or not you are reading from file or memory. It is only included for compatibility reasons.

  SbBool SoInput::readHex (uint32_t & l) [virtual]
Reads an unsigned integer in hexadecimal format from the current stream. Note that no error checking is done to see if it actually is a hex format value.

A number in hexadecimal format must have the '0x' prefix.

Returns FALSE if end of file is encountered.

  SbBool SoInput::read (char & c) [virtual]
Skips whitespace and reads next character in input stream. Returns FALSE if encountering end of file.

  SbBool SoInput::read (char & c, SbBool skip) [virtual]
Reads next character in input stream, returns FALSE if encountering end of file. If skip is TRUE, skips whitespace before reading a character.

  SbBool SoInput::read (SbString & s) [virtual]
Skips whitespace and extracts string. A string can be placed within quotes, in which case we will return all characters between the quotes (including spaces, tabs, newlines, etc). A quote character (i.e. "'') can also be part of the string, but must then be preceded by a\'' character.

A string not contained in quotes is terminated by the first following whitespace character.

Returns FALSE upon encountering end of file (EOF) before the string is fully parsed, or any other error. Note: This function does not return FALSE when encountering all EOFs. When multiple files are on the stack and a string is being parsed (the parser has found one or more valid characters) and EOF is encountered, the parsing stops and the read string along with TRUE is returned. The next time the read method is called, the stack is popped and a read string from the next file is returned - not always returning FALSE between the files (though it might on certain circumstances). The solution to this is to test for end of file after each successive read operation.

  SbBool SoInput::read (SbName & n, SbBool validIdent = FALSE) [virtual]
Read a name from the current stream and place it in n.

This method should not be used specifically to read all instances of SbName. The semantics of the interface is such that it is designed to handle identifier tokens from the Inventor / VRML file formats. I.e. cases where node names, node types and field names are to be read. If your goal is to read the value of a SbName field that is not any of the above, and at least when the string might be quoted, then you should most likely use SoInput::read(SbString &) instead.

If validIdent is TRUE the name needs to be a valid identifier (no reserved characters etc), while validIdent equal to FALSE means we'll just read characters for the next word until we hit whitespace or one of the '{'/'}' delimiters.

Returns FALSE on encountering end of file before a full name has been read -- if validIdent is also FALSE. If validIdent is passed as TRUE, the return value will be FALSE if no valid name was found, but not necessarily on end of file.

  SbBool SoInput::read (int & i) [virtual]
Read integer from current file or buffer position and place it in i. Returns FALSE if we hit end of file prematurely.

  SbBool SoInput::read (unsigned int & i) [virtual]
Read unsigned integer from current file or buffer position and place it in i. Returns FALSE if we hit end of file prematurely.

  SbBool SoInput::read (short & s) [virtual]
Read short integer from current file or buffer position and place it in s. Returns FALSE if we hit end of file prematurely.

  SbBool SoInput::read (unsigned short & s) [virtual]
Read unsigned short integer from current file or buffer position and place it in s. Returns FALSE if we hit end of file prematurely.

  SbBool SoInput::read (float & f) [virtual]
Read float value from current file or buffer position and place it in f. Returns FALSE if we hit end of file prematurely.

  SbBool SoInput::read (double & d) [virtual]
Read double value from current file or buffer position and place it in d. Returns FALSE if we hit end of file prematurely.

  SbBool SoInput::readByte (int8_t & b) [virtual]
Read signed byte integer from current file or buffer position and place it in b. Returns FALSE if we hit end of file prematurely.

  SbBool SoInput::readByte (uint8_t & b) [virtual]
Read unsigned byte integer from current file or buffer position and place it in b. Returns FALSE if we hit end of file prematurely.

  SbBool SoInput::readBinaryArray (unsigned char * c, int length) [virtual]
Reads length characters from the current stream into c. Returns FALSE if end of file is encountered before the given number of bytes could be read.

  SbBool SoInput::readBinaryArray (int32_t * l, int length) [virtual]
Reads length 32-bit integers from the current stream into l. Returns FALSE if end of file is encountered before the given number of integers could be read.

  SbBool SoInput::readBinaryArray (float * f, int length) [virtual]
Reads length floats from the current stream into f. Returns FALSE if end of file is encountered before the given number of binary float values could be read.

  SbBool SoInput::readBinaryArray (double * d, int length) [virtual]
Reads length double floats from the current stream into d. Returns FALSE if end of file is encountered before the given number of binary double float values could be read.

  SbBool SoInput::eof (void) const [virtual]
Returns TRUE if we are at the end of the current stream, otherwise FALSE.

  SbBool SoInput::isFileVRML1 (void)
Returns TRUE if current file is a VRML V1.0 file.

This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

  SbBool SoInput::isFileVRML2 (void)
Returns TRUE if current file is a VRML 2 / VRML97 file.

This function is an extension for Coin, and it is not available in the original SGI Open Inventor v2.1 API.

  void SoInput::resetFilePointer (FILE * fptr) [virtual]
This function has been obsoleted in Coin.

  void SoInput::getLocationString (SbString & str) const [virtual]
Places the current line number location and file name in a string which is to be used in the output upon read errors.

  void SoInput::putBack (const char c) [virtual]

Insert string str in stream at the current position.

  void SoInput::addReference (const SbName & name, SoBase * base, SbBool addToGlobalDict = TRUE) [virtual]
Adds a name<->SoBase mapping to our dictionary.

See also
    findReference(), removeReference()

See also
    findReference(), addReference()

  SoBase * SoInput::findReference (const SbName & name) const [virtual]
Finds a SoBase derived object which has been mapped to name earlier during the import process.

The Coin library will by default only search through the previously loaded nodes from the same file. By setting the environment variable COIN_SOINPUT_SEARCH_GLOBAL_DICT to '1', you can force the import process to search for USE-references through all nodes that have been loaded or otherwise instantiated.

    addReference(), removeReference()

  void SoInput::addDirectoryFirst (const char * dirName) [static]
Add a directory to the search list. The added directory will be searched before any of the other directories in the list.

  const SbStringList & SoInput::getDirectories (void) [static]
Returns the list of directories which will be searched upon loading Coin and VRML format files. Directory searches will be done whenever any external references appears in a file, for instance for texture images.

  void SoInput::init (void) [static]
Initialize static variables in class. Called from SoDB::init().

  SbString SoInput::getPathname (const char *const filename) [static]
Finds and returns the part of the given filename which is the directory path name.

  SbString SoInput::getPathname (const SbString & s) [static]
Finds and returns the part of the given filename which is the directory path name.

  SbString SoInput::getBasename (const char *const filename) [static]
Finds and returns the part of the given filename which is the base name (i.e. the filename without the leading directory path).

  SbString SoInput::getBasename (const SbString & s) [static]
Finds and returns the part of the given filename which is the base name (i.e. the filename without the leading directory path).

  SbString SoInput::searchForFile (const SbString & basename, const SbStringList & directories, const SbStringList & subdirectories) [static]
Given a basename for a file and an array of directories to search, returns the full name of the file found.

In addition to looking at the root of each directory in directories, all subdirectories are also searched for each item in directories.

If no file matching basename could be found in any of the directories, returns an empty string.

This method is a Coin extension, not part of the original Inventor API.

  SbBool SoInput::popFile (void) [protected], [virtual]
Pop the topmost file off the stack. Returns FALSE if there was no file on the stack to pop. A file is only popped when there is more than one file on the stack.

See also
    pushFile(), openFile(), closeFile()

  void SoInput::setIVVersion (float version) [protected]
Changes the file format version number for the stream at the top of the stack.

  FILE * SoInput::findFile (const char * basename, SbString & fullname) [protected]
This API member is considered internal to the library, as it is not likely to be of interest to the application programmer.
 Return the currently active stream.

Scan through the include directories in order and try to find a file with the given name in any one of them. If file is found, put the full name with complete path from current directory of process into fullname, open the file and return the file pointer.

If the file could either not be found or not opened for reading, return NULL.

Important note: do not use this method when the Coin library has been compiled as an Microsoft Windows DLL, as passing FILE* instances back or forth to DLLs is dangerous and will most likely cause a crash. This is an intrinsic limitation for Microsoft Windows DLLs.

  void SoInput::initFile (FILE * newFP, const char * fileName, SbString * fullName, SbBool openedHere, SbDict * refDict = NULL) [protected]
This function has been obsoleted in Coin.

  SbBool SoInput::checkHeader (SbBool bValidateBufferHeader = FALSE) [protected]
Returns TRUE if the current stream has had its header parsed. If it hasn't, this method will attempt to read the header and returns TRUE if it could be done.

If bValidateBufferHeader is TRUE, the returned flag will also be FALSE if the file stream header was not of a supported file format type.

  SbBool SoInput::fromBuffer (void) const [protected]
Returns TRUE if the current input stream is fetching data from a memory buffer, or FALSE if the input is from a file.

  SbBool SoInput::skipWhiteSpace (void) [protected]
Move file pointer past whitespace in the current file or buffer. Returns FALSE if end of file is encountered.

  size_t SoInput::freeBytesInBuf (void) const [protected]

  SbBool SoInput::readUnsignedIntegerString (char * str) [protected]
Reads a set of bytes from the stream making up an unsigned integer and puts them at str.

Returns FALSE if no string representing an unsigned integer could be read.

  int SoInput::readDigits (char * str) [protected]
Read decimal base digits from the current input stream into str and returns the number of characters read.

  int SoInput::readHexDigits (char * str) [protected]
Read hexadecimal base digits from the current input stream into str and returns the number of characters read.

  int SoInput::readChar (char * s, char charToRead) [protected]
Reads the next character in stream and compares it to charToRead. Returns 1 on success, 0 on failure. Failure may come from either end of file, or from the next character in the stream being different than charToRead.

  SbBool SoInput::makeRoomInBuf (size_t nBytes) [protected]
This function has been obsoleted in Coin.

  void SoInput::convertShort (char * from, short * s) [protected]
Convert the bytes at from (which must be a short integer in network format (i.e. most significant byte first)) to a short integer in native format which is put at the s pointer.

  void SoInput::convertInt32 (char * from, int32_t * l) [protected]
