Detailed Description

This class creates and writes STL files from Open CASCADE shapes. An STL file can be written to an existing STL file or to a new one.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ StlAPI_Writer()

StlAPI_Writer::StlAPI_Writer ( )

Creates a writer object with default parameters: ASCIIMode.

Member Function Documentation

◆ ASCIIMode()

bool & StlAPI_Writer::ASCIIMode ( )

inline

Returns the address to the flag defining the mode for writing the file. This address may be used to either read or change the flag. If the mode returns True (default value) the generated file is an ASCII file. If the mode returns False, the generated file is a binary file.

◆ Write() [1/2]

bool StlAPI_Writer::Write	(	const TopoDS_Shape &	theShape,
		const char *const	theFileName,
		const Message_ProgressRange &	theProgress = Message_ProgressRange() )

Converts a given shape to STL format and writes it to file with a given filename.

Returns: the error state.

◆ Write() [2/2]

bool StlAPI_Writer::Write	(	const TopoDS_Shape &	theShape,
		Standard_OStream &	theStream,
		const Message_ProgressRange &	theProgress = Message_ProgressRange() )

Converts a given shape to STL format and writes it to the specified stream.

Returns: the error state.
