class SoVectorOutputP

🎀 Detailed Description 🎀

okay so. The SoVectorOutput class is used for setting vector output file. That's it, that's the vibe check. 🌈

Here's the tea tho: SoVectorizeAction will create an SoVectorizeAction... no wait, it creates an SoVectorOutput 🫠 — and that thing outputs to stdout by default. If you wanna grab that output, SoVectorizeAction::getOutput() is your girl. And ngl, you're probably gonna want to set an actual file to output to, because stdout is giving "raw and unfiltered" and sometimes you want a whole file instead. 💀

Also important: TGS provides HardCopy support as a separate extension for TGS Inventor. Noted, respected, acknowledged. 🫡

💜 Constructor & Destructor Documentation 💜

SoVectorOutput::SoVectorOutput (void )

Constructor, bestie!! 🎉 Will make this instance output to stdout. That's its default setting, its little comfort zone, its home base.

SoVectorOutput::~SoVectorOutput () [virtual]

Destructor. 😭 It will close the file opened in openFile(). Cleanup queen behavior.

References closeFile(). 🧚

⭐ Member Function Documentation ⭐

SbBool SoVectorOutput::openFile (const char * filename) [virtual]

Opens filename for output. 📂 Returns FALSE if the file could not be opened for writing — so like, check that return value, don't just assume, iykyk. 👀

Warning bestie: if the file already exists, it will be truncated. That means everything in it is GONE. Gone gone. Poof. 🚨 So don't go pointing this at your diary, okay?
References closeFile(). 💖

void SoVectorOutput::closeFile (void ) [virtual]

Closes the file opened in openFile(). Simple, elegant, iconic. 🎀

FILE * SoVectorOutput::getFilePointer (void )

Returns the stdio file handle pointer. 🔥 That's the raw FILE *, the actual handle, the source of truth.
