Detailed Description

A packet that can hold a PDF document.

This packet may or may not contain a PDF document at any given time. This state can be changed by calling reset().


Member Enumeration Documentation

Describes how a PDF packet should claim ownership of a block of binary data.

Python:
Not present.
Enumerator:
OWN_MALLOC 

The packet should claim ownership of the block, and should assume that it was allocated using malloc().

OWN_NEW 

The packet should claim ownership of the block, and should assume that it was allocated using new[].

DEEP_COPY 

The packet should not claim ownership of the block, but should instead make its own deep copy.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

regina::NPDF::NPDF (  )  [inline]

Creates a PDF packet with no document stored.

regina::NPDF::NPDF ( char *  data,
size_t  size,
OwnershipPolicy  alloc 
) [inline]

Creates a packet to store the given PDF data.

The data array must contain a full PDF document as a block of binary data.

The alloc argument shows if/how this packet claims ownership of the data. In particular, unless alloc is DEEP_COPY, this packet will claim ownership of the given data block and will deallocate it when the packet is destroyed. If alloc is DEEP_COPY then the given block of data will not be modified in any way.

It is possible to pass a null pointer as the data array, in which case the new packet will have no PDF document stored.

Python:
Not present.
Parameters:
data the block of binary data that forms the PDF document, or null if no document is to be stored.
size the number of bytes in this block of binary data; if actual data is passed (i.e., data is not null) then this must be strictly positive.
alloc describes if/how this packet should claim ownership of the given block of data; see the notes above for details.
regina::NPDF::~NPDF (  )  [inline]

Destroys this PDF packet and deallocates data if required.


Member Function Documentation

const char * regina::NPDF::data (  )  const [inline]

Returns a pointer to the block of raw data that forms this PDF document.

The number of bytes in this block can be found by calling size().

If no PDF document is currently stored, this routine will return a null pointer.

Python:
Not present.
Returns:
the raw PDF data.
bool regina::NPDF::dependsOnParent (  )  const [inline, virtual]

Determines if this packet depends upon its parent.

This is true if the parent cannot be altered without invalidating or otherwise upsetting this packet.

Returns:
true if and only if this packet depends on its parent.

Implements regina::NPacket.

virtual int regina::NPDF::getPacketType (  )  const [virtual]

Returns the integer ID representing this type of packet.

This is the same for all packets of this class.

Returns:
the packet type ID.

Implements regina::NPacket.

virtual std::string regina::NPDF::getPacketTypeName (  )  const [virtual]

Returns an English name for this type of packet.

An example is NTriangulation. This is the same for all packets of this class.

Returns:
the packet type name.

Implements regina::NPacket.

void regina::NPDF::reset ( char *  data,
size_t  size,
OwnershipPolicy  alloc 
)

Refills this PDF packet with the given PDF data.

The old data will be deallocated if required.

This routine behaves like the class constructor; see the constructor documentation for details.

Python:
Not present.
Parameters:
data the block of binary data that forms the new PDF document, or null if no document is to be stored.
size the number of bytes in this new block of binary data; if actual data is passed (i.e., data is not null) then this must be strictly positive.
alloc describes if/how this packet should claim ownership of the given block of data; see the notes above for details.
void regina::NPDF::reset (  ) 

Empties this PDF packet so that no document is stored.

The old data will be deallocated if required.

size_t regina::NPDF::size (  )  const [inline]

Returns the size of this PDF document in bytes.

If no PDF document is currently stored, this routine will return zero.

Returns:
the number of bytes.
virtual void regina::NPDF::writePacket ( NFile out  )  const [virtual]

Writes the packet details to the given old-style binary file.

You may assume that the packet type and label have already been written. Only the actual data stored in the packet need be written.

The default implementation for this routine does nothing; new packet types should not implement this routine since this file format is now obsolete, and older calculation engines will simply skip unknown packet types when reading from binary files.

Deprecated:
For the preferred way to write packets to file, see writeXMLFile() and writeXMLPacketData() instead.
Precondition:
The given file is open for writing and satisfies the assumptions listed above.
Python:
Not present.
Parameters:
out the file to be written to.

Reimplemented from regina::NPacket.

void regina::NPDF::writeTextShort ( std::ostream &  out  )  const [inline, virtual]

Writes this object in short text format to the given output stream.

The output should fit on a single line and no newline should be written.

Python:
The parameter out does not exist; standard output will be used.
Parameters:
out the output stream to which to write.

Implements regina::ShareableObject.

virtual void regina::NPDF::writeXMLPacketData ( std::ostream &  out  )  const [protected, virtual]

Writes a chunk of XML containing the data for this packet only.

You may assume that the packet opening tag (including the packet type and label) has already been written, and that all child packets followed by the corresponding packet closing tag will be written immediately after this routine is called. This routine need only write the internal data stored in this specific packet.

Parameters:
out the output stream to which the XML should be written.

Implements regina::NPacket.


Member Data Documentation

const int regina::NPDF::packetType [static]

Contains the integer ID for this packet.

Each distinct packet type must have a unique ID, and this should be a positive integer. See packetregistry.h for further requirements regarding ID selection.

This member is not actually provided for NPacket itself, but must be declared for every packet subclass that will be instantiated. A value need not be assigned; packetregistry.h will take care of this task when you register the packet.

Reimplemented from regina::NPacket.
