Detailed Description

Abstract class that defines a 'codec'.

Remarks: A codec class works like a two-way filter for data - data entered on one end (the decode end) gets processed and transformed into easily usable data while data passed the other way around codes it back.

: The codec concept is a pretty generic one - you can easily understand how it can be used for images, sounds, archives, even compressed data.

Member Function Documentation

◆ registerCodec()

static void Ogre::Codec::registerCodec ( Codec * pCodec )

inlinestatic

Registers a new codec in the database.

References Ogre::Exception::ERR_DUPLICATE_ITEM, getType(), and OGRE_EXCEPT.

◆ isCodecRegistered()

static bool Ogre::Codec::isCodecRegistered ( const String & codecType )

inlinestatic

Return whether a codec is registered already.

◆ unregisterCodec()

static void Ogre::Codec::unregisterCodec ( Codec * pCodec )

inlinestatic

Unregisters a codec from the database.

References getType().

◆ getCodecIterator()

static CodecIterator Ogre::Codec::getCodecIterator ( void )

inlinestatic

Gets the iterator for the registered codecs.

◆ getExtensions()

static StringVector Ogre::Codec::getExtensions ( void )

static

Gets the file extension list for the registered codecs.

◆ getCodec() [1/2]

static Codec* Ogre::Codec::getCodec ( const String & extension )

static

Gets the codec registered for the passed in file extension.

◆ getCodec() [2/2]

static Codec* Ogre::Codec::getCodec	(	char *	magicNumberPtr,
		size_t	maxbytes
	)

static

Gets the codec that can handle the given 'magic' identifier.

Parameters

magicNumberPtr	Pointer to a stream of bytes which should identify the file. Note that this may be more than needed - each codec may be looking for a different size magic number.
maxbytes	The number of bytes passed

◆ encode()

virtual DataStreamPtr Ogre::Codec::encode	(	MemoryDataStreamPtr &	input,
		CodecDataPtr &	pData
	)		const

pure virtual

Codes the data in the input stream and saves the result in the output stream.

Implemented in Ogre::DDSCodec, Ogre::FreeImageCodec, Ogre::ETCCodec, Ogre::ASTCCodec, Ogre::PVRTCCodec, Ogre::STBIImageCodec, and Ogre::EXRCodec.

◆ encodeToFile()

virtual void Ogre::Codec::encodeToFile	(	MemoryDataStreamPtr &	input,
		const String &	outFileName,
		CodecDataPtr &	pData
	)		const

pure virtual

Codes the data in the input chunk and saves the result in the output filename provided.

Provided for efficiency since coding to memory is progressive therefore memory required is unknown leading to reallocations.

Parameters

input	The input data
outFileName	The filename to write to
pData	Extra information to be passed to the codec (codec type specific)

Implemented in Ogre::DDSCodec, Ogre::FreeImageCodec, Ogre::ETCCodec, Ogre::ASTCCodec, Ogre::PVRTCCodec, Ogre::STBIImageCodec, and Ogre::EXRCodec.

◆ decode()

virtual DecodeResult Ogre::Codec::decode ( DataStreamPtr & input ) const

pure virtual

Codes the data from the input chunk into the output chunk.

Parameters

input Stream containing the encoded data

Implemented in Ogre::DDSCodec, Ogre::FreeImageCodec, Ogre::ETCCodec, Ogre::ASTCCodec, Ogre::PVRTCCodec, Ogre::STBIImageCodec, and Ogre::EXRCodec.

◆ getType()

virtual String Ogre::Codec::getType ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the type of the codec as a String.

Implemented in Ogre::DDSCodec, Ogre::FreeImageCodec, Ogre::ETCCodec, Ogre::ASTCCodec, Ogre::PVRTCCodec, Ogre::STBIImageCodec, and Ogre::EXRCodec.

Referenced by registerCodec(), and unregisterCodec().

◆ getDataType()

virtual String Ogre::Codec::getDataType ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the type of the data that supported by this codec as a String.

Implemented in Ogre::ImageCodec.

◆ magicNumberMatch()

virtual bool Ogre::Codec::magicNumberMatch	(	const char *	magicNumberPtr,
		size_t	maxbytes
	)		const

inlinevirtual

Returns whether a magic number header matches this codec.

Parameters

magicNumberPtr	Pointer to a stream of bytes which should identify the file. Note that this may be more than needed - each codec may be looking for a different size magic number.
maxbytes	The number of bytes passed

◆ magicNumberToFileExt()

virtual String Ogre::Codec::magicNumberToFileExt	(	const char *	magicNumberPtr,
		size_t	maxbytes
	)		const

pure virtual

Maps a magic number header to a file extension, if this codec recognises it.

Parameters

magicNumberPtr	Pointer to a stream of bytes which should identify the file. Note that this may be more than needed - each codec may be looking for a different size magic number.
maxbytes	The number of bytes passed

Returns: A blank string if the magic number was unknown, or a file extension.

Implemented in Ogre::DDSCodec, Ogre::FreeImageCodec, Ogre::ETCCodec, Ogre::STBIImageCodec, Ogre::ASTCCodec, Ogre::PVRTCCodec, and Ogre::EXRCodec.
