jvx.loader

Class PgMaLoader

java.lang.Object

jv.loader.PgAbstractLoader

jvx.loader.PgMaLoader

All Implemented Interfaces:

PgLoaderIf

public class PgMaLoader
extends PgAbstractLoader

Loader for Maya ASCII geometries.

Todo: - Orientation seems wrong, y-direction is up-vector in Maya while z-direction in JavaView. - Check export of surface colors, texture and other details ... - Lighting seems missing, currently geometry renders to black

Version:

19.11.17, 3.10 revised (kp) Bug in write method removed which prevented loading in Maya 2017.
09.03.15, 3.00 revised (kp) Moved to jvx.loader from dev.loader.
22.03.10, 2.00 revised (kp) Superclass changed to PgAbstractLoader.
06.10.03, 1.15 revised (kp) Interface extended by isEnabledOptimization().
19.04.03, 1.10 revised (kp) Interface extended by setGeometryOption().
10.09.02, 1.00 created (ur) By modification of the Maple loader class.

Method Detail

read

public static PgJvxSrc[] read(java.lang.String fileName)

Read geometry file in Maya ASCII file format.

read

public PgJvxSrc[] read(java.io.BufferedReader in)

Deprecated. use methods load() and getGeometries() respectively getAnimations().

Read Maya ASCII graphics data.

Alternatively, one may call load(BuffereredReader) followed by getGeometries() resp. getAnimations() to have a finer control about which information one wants to use from a source. For example, optional display information must be retrieve by a subsequent call getDisplayOption() if available.

Specified by:

read in interface PgLoaderIf

Overrides:

read in class PgAbstractLoader

Parameters:

in - BufferedReader to read textual data from.

Returns:

Array of JVX geometries.

write

public boolean write(java.io.Writer writer,
                     PgJvxSrc[] geomArr)
              throws java.io.IOException

Write an array of geometries into an output stream writer in Maya Ascii file format, called MA.

Numbers with absolute value less than jv.vecmath.PuMath#EPS are shown as zero. This avoids the annoying fact that double precision numbers fill the whole text area hiding the exponent, which hides their small value.

Specified by:

write in interface PgLoaderIf

Overrides:

write in class PgAbstractLoader

Parameters:

writer - Write all data to this stream

geomArr - Array with geometries to save

Returns:

true on success.

Throws:

java.io.IOException
