◆ checkInvariant()

void Node::checkInvariant ( bool  doRecurse = true,
bool  doDowncast = true 
)

Check whether Node class invariant is true.

Parameters
[in]doRecurseIf true, also check invariants of all children or sub-objects recursively.
[in]doDowncastIf true, also check any invariants of the actual derived type in addition to the generic node invariants.

This function checks at least the assertions in the documented class invariant description (see class reference page for this object). Other internal invariants that are implementation-dependent may also be checked. If any invariant clause is violated, an E57Exception with errorCode of E57_ERROR_INVARIANCE_VIOLATION is thrown.

Specifying doRecurse=true only makes sense if doDowncast=true is also specified (the generic Node has no way to access any children). Checking the invariant recursively may be expensive if the tree is large, so should be used judiciously, in debug versions of the application.

Postcondition
No visible state is modified.
Exceptions
E57_ERROR_INVARIANCE_VIOLATIONor any other E57 ErrorCode

◆ destImageFile()

ImageFile Node::destImageFile ( ) const

Get the ImageFile that was declared as the destination for the node when it was created.

The first argument of the constructors of each of the 8 types of nodes is an ImageFile that indicates which ImageFile the node will eventually be attached to. This function returns that constructor argument. It is an error to attempt to attach the node to a different ImageFile. However it is not an error to not attach the node to any ImageFile (it's just wasteful). Use Node::isAttached to check if the node actually did get attached.

Postcondition
No visible object state is modified.
Returns
The ImageFile that was declared as the destination for the node when it was created.

◆ dump()

void Node::dump ( int  indent = 0,
std::ostream &  os = std::cout 
) const

Diagnostic function to print internal state of object to output stream in an indented format.

Parameters
[in]indentNumber of spaces to indent all the printed lines of this object.
[in]osOutput stream to print on.

All objects in the E57 Foundation API (with exception of E57Exception) support a dump() function. These functions print out to the console a detailed listing of the internal state of objects. The content of these printouts is not documented, and is really of interest only to implementation developers/maintainers or the really adventurous users. In implementations of the API other than the Reference Implementation, the dump() functions may produce no output (although the functions should still be defined). The output format may change from version to version.

Postcondition
No visible object state is modified.
Exceptions
NoE57Exceptions

◆ elementName()

ustring Node::elementName ( ) const

Get element name of node.

The elementName is a string associated with each parent-child link between nodes. For a given parent, the elementName uniquely identifies each of its children. Thus, any node in a tree can be identified by a sequence of elementNames that form a path from the tree's root node (see Node::pathName for more details).

Three types of nodes (the container node types) can be parents: StructureNode, VectorNode, and CompressedVectorNode. The children of a StructureNode are explicitly given unique elementNames when they are attached to the parent (using StructureNode::set). The children of VectorNode and CompressedVectorNode are implicitly given elementNames based on their position in the list (starting at "0"). In a CompressedVectorNode, the elementName can become quite large: "1000000000" or more. However in a CompressedVectorNode, the elementName string is not stored in the file and is deduced by the position of the child.

Precondition
The destination ImageFile must be open (i.e. destImageFile().isOpen()).
Postcondition
No visible state is modified.
Returns
The element name of the node, or "" if a root node.
Exceptions
E57_ERROR_IMAGEFILE_NOT_OPEN
E57_ERROR_INTERNALAll objects in undocumented state

◆ isAttached()

bool Node::isAttached ( ) const

Has node been attached into the tree of an ImageFile.

Nodes are attached into an ImageFile tree by inserting them as children (directly or indirectly) of the ImageFile's root node. Nodes can also be attached to an ImageFile if they are used in the codecs or prototype trees of an CompressedVectorNode that is attached. Attached nodes will be saved to disk when the ImageFile is closed, and restored when the ImageFile is read back in from disk. Unattached nodes will not be saved to disk. It is not recommended to create nodes that are not eventually attached to the ImageFile.

Precondition
The destination ImageFile must be open (i.e. destImageFile().isOpen()).
Postcondition
No visible object state is modified.
Returns
true if node is child of (or in codecs or prototype of a child CompressedVectorNode of) the root node of an ImageFile.
Exceptions

◆ isRoot()

bool Node::isRoot ( ) const

Is this a root node.

A root node has itself as a parent (it is not a child of any node). Newly constructed nodes (before they are inserted into an ImageFile tree) start out as root nodes. It is possible to temporarily create small trees that are unattached to any ImageFile. In these temporary trees, the top-most node will be a root node. After the tree is attached to the ImageFile tree, the only root node will be the pre-created one of the ImageTree (the one returned by ImageFile::root). The concept of attachment is slightly larger than that of the parent-child relationship (see Node::isAttached and CompressedVectorNode::CompressedVectorNode for more details).

Precondition
The destination ImageFile must be open (i.e. destImageFile().isOpen()).
Postcondition
No visible state is modified.
Returns
true if this node is a root node.
Exceptions

◆ operator!=()

bool Node::operator!= ( Node  n2) const

Test if two node handles refer to different underlying nodes.

Parameters
[in]n2The node to compare this node with
Postcondition
No visible object state is modified.
Returns
true if node handles refer to different underlying nodes.
Exceptions
NoE57Exceptions

◆ operator==()

bool Node::operator== ( Node  n2) const

Test if two node handles refer to the same underlying node.

Parameters
[in]n2The node to compare this node with
Postcondition
No visible object state is modified.
Returns
true if node handles refer to the same underlying node.
Exceptions
NoE57Exceptions

◆ parent()

Node Node::parent ( ) const

Return parent of node, or self if a root node.

Nodes are organized into trees (acyclic graphs) with a distinguished node (the "top-most" node) called the root node. A parent-child relationship is established between nodes to form a tree. Nodes can have zero or one parent. Nodes with zero parents are called root nodes. In the API, if a node has zero parents it is represented by having itself as a parent. Due to the set-once design of the API, a parent-child relationship cannot be modified once established. A child node can be any of the 8 node types, but a parent node can only be one of the 3 container node types (E57_STRUCTURE, E57_VECTOR, and E57_COMPRESSED_VECTOR). Each parent-child link has a string name (the elementName) associated with it (See Node::elementName for more details). More than one tree can be formed at any given time. Typically small trees are temporarily constructed before attachment to an ImageFile so that they will be written to the disk.

Warning: user algorithms that use this function to walk the tree must take care to handle the case where a node is its own parent (it is a root node). Use Node::isRoot to avoid infinite loops or infinite recursion.

Precondition
The destination ImageFile must be open (i.e. destImageFile().isOpen()).
Postcondition
No visible state is modified.
Returns
A smart Node handle referencing the parent node or this node if is a root node.
Exceptions
E57_ERROR_IMAGEFILE_NOT_OPEN
E57_ERROR_INTERNALAll objects in undocumented state

◆ pathName()

ustring Node::pathName ( ) const

Get absolute pathname of node.

Nodes are organized into trees (acyclic graphs) by a parent-child relationship between nodes. Each parent-child relationship has an associated elementName string that is unique for a given parent. Any node in a given tree can be identified by a sequence of elementNames of how to get to the node from the root of the tree. An absolute pathname string that is formed by arranging this sequence of elementNames separated by the "/" character with a leading "/" prepended.

Some example absolute pathNames: "/data3D/0/points/153/cartesianX", "/data3D/0/points", "/cameraImages/1/pose/rotation/w", and "/". These examples have probably been attached to an ImageFile. Here is an example absolute pathName of a node in a pose tree that has not yet been attached to an ImageFile: "/pose/rotation/w".

A technical aside: the elementName of a root node does not appear in absolute pathnames, since the "path" is between the staring node (the root) and the ending node. By convention, in this API, a root node has the empty string ("") as its elementName.

Precondition
The destination ImageFile must be open (i.e. destImageFile().isOpen()).
Postcondition
No visible state is modified.
Returns
The absolute path name of the node.

◆ type()

NodeType Node::type ( ) const

Return the NodeType of a generic Node.

This function allows the actual node type to be interrogated before upcasting the handle to the actual node type (see Upcasting and Dowcasting section in Node).

Returns
The NodeType of a generic Node, which may be one of the following NodeType enumeration values: E57_STRUCTURE, E57_VECTOR, E57_COMPRESSED_VECTOR, E57_INTEGER, E57_SCALED_INTEGER, E57_FLOAT, E57_STRING, E57_BLOB.
Postcondition
No visible state is modified.
