NAME¶
foreignfilesupport - Foreign File Format Support This is a page describing
foreign file format support in Coin.
Formats supported so far:
- •
- STL / Stereolithography files (.stl)
The
SoSTLFileKit server as a first example on how foreign file format
support can be implemented through the
SoForeignFileKit interface
nodekit. For STL, the file format is so trivial that it maps directly into a
few Open Inventor nodes. For other file formats, the direct mapping might not
be possible or desirable (maybe important information will get lost in such a
conversion), and the implementor might choose to implement a set of internal
custom nodes for doing the rendering (and applying the other actions), and
choose to first do pure Open Inventor organization when the node kit is asked
to write its contents as a scene graph.
FIXME: Document autoloading when implemented and tested
