vtkInputStream

Section: Visualization Toolkit IO Classes

Usage

vtkInputStream provides a VTK-style interface wrapping around a standard input stream. The access methods are virtual so that subclasses can transparently provide decoding of an encoded stream. Data lengths for Seek and Read calls refer to the length of the input data. The actual length in the stream may differ for subclasses that implement an encoding scheme.

To create an instance of class vtkInputStream, simply invoke its constructor as follows

  obj = vtkInputStream

Methods

The class vtkInputStream has several methods that can be used. They are listed below. Note that the documentation is translated automatically from the VTK sources, and may not be completely intelligible. When in doubt, consult the VTK website. In the methods listed below, obj is an instance of the vtkInputStream class.
