Detailed Description

template<class TInputImage>
class itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >

Writes image data to a single file.

ImageFileWriter writes its input data to a single output file. ImageFileWriter interfaces with an ImageIO class to write out the data. If you wish to write data into a series of files (e.g., a slice per file) use ImageSeriesWriter.

A pluggable factory pattern is used that allows different kinds of writers to be registered (even at run time) without having to modify the code in this class. You can either manually instantiate the ImageIO object and associate it with the ImageFileWriter, or let the class figure it out from the extension. Normally just setting the filename with a suitable suffix (".png", ".jpg", etc) and setting the input to the writer is enough to get the writer to work properly.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::AbortGenerateDataOff ( ) [virtual, inherited]

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::AbortGenerateDataOn ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Turn on and off the AbortGenerateData flag.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::AddInput ( DataObject * input ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Protected methods for setting inputs. Subclasses make use of them for setting input.

unsigned long itk::Object::AddObserver	(	const EventObject &	event,
		Command *
	)			`[inherited]`

Allow people to add/remove/invoke observers (callbacks) to any ITK object. This is an implementation of the subject/observer design pattern. An observer is added by specifying an event to respond to and an itk::Command to execute. It returns an unsigned long tag which can be used later to remove the event or retrieve the command. The memory for the Command becomes the responsibility of this object, so don't pass the same instance of a command to two different objects

unsigned long itk::Object::AddObserver	(	const EventObject &	event,
		Command *
	)			const `[inherited]`

Allow people to add/remove/invoke observers (callbacks) to any ITK object. This is an implementation of the subject/observer design pattern. An observer is added by specifying an event to respond to and an itk::Command to execute. It returns an unsigned long tag which can be used later to remove the event or retrieve the command. The memory for the Command becomes the responsibility of this object, so don't pass the same instance of a command to two different objects

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::AddOutput ( DataObject * output ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Protected methods for setting outputs. Subclasses make use of them for getting output.

static void itk::LightObject::BreakOnError ( ) [static, inherited]

This method is called when itkExceptionMacro executes. It allows the debugger to break on error.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::CacheInputReleaseDataFlags ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Cache the state of any ReleaseDataFlag's on the inputs. While the filter is executing, we need to set the ReleaseDataFlag's on the inputs to false in case the current filter is implemented using a mini-pipeline (which will try to release the inputs). After the filter finishes, we restore the state of the ReleaseDataFlag's before the call to ReleaseInputs().

virtual LightObject::Pointer itk::Object::CreateAnother ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Create an object from an instance, potentially deferring to a factory. This method allows you to create an instance of an object that is exactly the same type as the referring object. This is useful in cases where an object has been cast back to a base class.

Reimplemented from itk::LightObject.

virtual void itk::Object::DebugOff ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Turn debugging output off.

virtual void itk::Object::DebugOn ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Turn debugging output on.

virtual void itk::LightObject::Delete ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Delete an itk object. This method should always be used to delete an object when the new operator was used to create it. Using the C delete method will not work with reference counting.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::EnlargeOutputRequestedRegion ( DataObject * ) [inline, virtual, inherited]

Give the process object a chance to indictate that it will produce more output than it was requested to produce. For example, many imaging filters must compute the entire output at once or can only produce output in complete slices. Such filters cannot handle smaller requested regions. These filters must provide an implementation of this method, setting the output requested region to the size they will produce. By default, a process object does not modify the size of the output requested region.

Definition at line 225 of file itkProcessObject.h.

template<class TInputImage >

void itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::GenerateData ( void ) [protected, virtual]

Does the real work.

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::GenerateInputRequestedRegion ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

What is the input requested region that is required to produce the output requested region? By default, the largest possible region is always required but this is overridden in many subclasses. For instance, for an image processing filter where an output pixel is a simple function of an input pixel, the input requested region will be set to the output requested region. For an image processing filter where an output pixel is a function of the pixels in a neighborhood of an input pixel, then the input requested region will need to be larger than the output requested region (to avoid introducing artificial boundary conditions). This function should never request an input region that is outside the the input largest possible region (i.e. implementations of this method should crop the input requested region at the boundaries of the input largest possible region).

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::GenerateOutputInformation ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Generate the information decribing the output data. The default implementation of this method will copy information from the input to the output. A filter may override this method if its output will have different information than its input. For instance, a filter that shrinks an image will need to provide an implementation for this method that changes the spacing of the pixels. Such filters should call their superclass' implementation of this method prior to changing the information values they need (i.e. GenerateOutputInformation() should call Superclass::GenerateOutputInformation() prior to changing the information.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::GenerateOutputRequestedRegion ( DataObject * output ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Given one output whose requested region has been set, how should the requested regions for the remaining outputs of the process object be set? By default, all the outputs are set to the same requested region. If a filter needs to produce different requested regions for each output, for instance an image processing filter producing several outputs at different resolutions, then that filter may override this method and set the requested regions appropriatedly.

Note that a filter producing multiple outputs of different types is required to override this method. The default implementation can only correctly handle multiple outputs of the same type.

Reimplemented in itk::MultiResolutionPyramidImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >, itk::RecursiveMultiResolutionPyramidImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >, itk::watershed::BoundaryResolver< TPixelType, TDimension >, itk::watershed::EquivalenceRelabeler< TScalarType, TImageDimension >, itk::watershed::Relabeler< TScalarType, TImageDimension >, itk::watershed::Segmenter< TInputImage >, itk::watershed::SegmentTreeGenerator< TScalarType >, itk::watershed::Relabeler< ScalarType, itkGetStaticConstMacro(ImageDimension)>, itk::watershed::Segmenter< InputImageType >, and itk::watershed::SegmentTreeGenerator< ScalarType >.

virtual const bool& itk::ProcessObject::GetAbortGenerateData ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Get the AbortGenerateData flag for the process object. Process objects may handle premature termination of execution in different ways.

Command* itk::Object::GetCommand ( unsigned long tag ) [inherited]

Get the command associated with the given tag. NOTE: This returns a pointer to a Command, but it is safe to asign this to a Command::Pointer. Since Command inherits from LightObject, at this point in the code, only a pointer or a reference to the Command can be used.

bool itk::Object::GetDebug ( ) const [inherited]

Get the value of the debug flag.

template<class TInputImage >

virtual const char* itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::GetFileName ( ) const [virtual]

Specify the name of the output file to write.

static bool itk::Object::GetGlobalWarningDisplay ( ) [static, inherited]

This is a global flag that controls whether any debug, warning or error messages are displayed.

template<class TInputImage >

virtual ImageIOBase* itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::GetImageIO ( ) [virtual]

Set/Get the ImageIO helper class. Usually this is created via the object factory mechanism that determines whether a particular ImageIO can write a certain file. This method provides a way to get the ImageIO instance that is created, or one can be manually set where the IO factory mechanism may not work (for example, raw image files or image files with non-standard filename suffix's. If the user specifies the ImageIO, we assume she makes the correct choice and will allow a file to be created regardless of the file extension. If the factory has set the ImageIO, the extension must be supported by the specified ImageIO.

Set/Get the image input of this writer.

DataObjectPointerArray& itk::ProcessObject::GetInputs ( ) [inline, inherited]

Return an array with all the inputs of this process object. This is useful for tracing back in the pipeline to construct graphs etc.

Definition at line 108 of file itkProcessObject.h.

template<class TInputImage >

const ImageIORegion& itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::GetIORegion ( void ) const [inline]

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

DataObjectPointerArraySizeType itk::ProcessObject::GetNumberOfInputs ( ) const [inline, inherited]

Get the size of the input vector. This is merely the size of the input vector, not the number of inputs that have valid DataObject's assigned. Use GetNumberOfValidRequiredInputs() to determine how many inputs are non-null.

Definition at line 118 of file itkProcessObject.h.

DataObjectPointerArraySizeType itk::ProcessObject::GetNumberOfOutputs ( ) const [inline, inherited]

Return an array with all the outputs of this process object. This is useful for tracing forward in the pipeline to contruct graphs etc.

Get the number of valid inputs. This is the number of non-null entries in the input vector in the first NumberOfRequiredInputs slots. This method is used to determine whether the necessary required inputs have been set.

virtual int itk::LightObject::GetReferenceCount ( ) const [inline, virtual, inherited]

Gets the reference count on this object.

Definition at line 106 of file itkLightObject.h.

virtual const bool& itk::ProcessObject::GetReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Turn on/off the flags to control whether the bulk data belonging to the outputs of this ProcessObject are released/reallocated during an Update(). In limited memory scenarios, a user may want to force the elements of a pipeline to release any bulk data that is going to be regenerated anyway during an Update() in order to control peak memory allocation. Note that this flag is different from the ReleaseDataFlag. ReleaseDataFlag manages the deallocation of a ProcessObject's bulk output data once that data has been consumed by a downstream ProcessObject. The ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag manages the deallocation/reallocation of bulk data during a pipeline update to control peak memory utilization. Default value is on.

virtual bool itk::ProcessObject::GetReleaseDataFlag ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Turn on/off the flags to control whether the bulk data belonging to the outputs of this ProcessObject are released after being used by a downstream ProcessObject. Default value is off. Another options for controlling memory utilization is the ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag.

template<class TInputImage >

virtual const bool& itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::GetUseCompression ( ) [virtual]

Set the compression On or Off

template<class TInputImage >

virtual const bool& itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::GetUseInputMetaDataDictionary ( ) [virtual]

By default the MetaDataDictionary is taken from the input image and passed to the ImageIO. In some cases, however, a user may prefer to introduce her/his own MetaDataDictionary. This is often the case of the ImageSeriesWriter. This flag defined whether the MetaDataDictionary to use will be the one from the input image or the one already set in the ImageIO object.

static void itk::Object::GlobalWarningDisplayOff ( ) [inline, static, inherited]

This is a global flag that controls whether any debug, warning or error messages are displayed.

References itk::Object::SetGlobalWarningDisplay().

static void itk::Object::GlobalWarningDisplayOn ( ) [inline, static, inherited]

bool itk::Object::HasObserver ( const EventObject & event ) const [inherited]

Return true if an observer is registered for this event.

void itk::Object::InvokeEvent ( const EventObject & ) const [inherited]

Call Execute on all the Commands observing this event id. The actions triggered by this call doesn't modify this object.

void itk::Object::InvokeEvent ( const EventObject & ) [inherited]

Call Execute on all the Commands observing this event id.

virtual DataObjectPointer itk::ProcessObject::MakeOutput ( unsigned int idx ) [virtual, inherited]

Make a DataObject of the correct type to used as the specified output. Every ProcessObject subclass must be able to create a DataObject that can be used as a specified output. This method is automatically called when DataObject::DisconnectPipeline() is called. DataObject::DisconnectPipeline, disconnects a data object from being an output of its current source. When the data object is disconnected, the ProcessObject needs to construct a replacement output data object so that the ProcessObject is in a valid state. So DataObject::DisconnectPipeline eventually calls ProcessObject::MakeOutput. Note that MakeOutput always returns a itkSmartPointer to a DataObject. ImageSource and MeshSource override this method to create the correct type of image and mesh respectively. If a filter has multiple outputs of different types, then that filter must provide an implementation of MakeOutput().

virtual void itk::Object::Modified ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Update the modification time for this object. Many filters rely on the modification time to determine if they need to recompute their data.

Method for creation through the object factory.

Reimplemented from itk::Object.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::PopBackInput ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Push/Pop an input of this process object. These methods allow a filter to model its input vector as a queue or stack. These routines may not be appropriate for all filters, especially filters with different types of inputs. These routines follow the semantics of STL.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::PopFrontInput ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Push/Pop an input of this process object. These methods allow a filter to model its input vector as a queue or stack. These routines may not be appropriate for all filters, especially filters with different types of inputs. These routines follow the semantics of STL.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::PrepareOutputs ( ) [virtual, inherited]

An opportunity to deallocate a ProcessObject's bulk data storage. Some filters may wish to reuse existing bulk data storage to avoid unnecessary deallocation/allocation sequences. The default implementation calls Initialize() on each output. DataObject::Initialize() frees its bulk data by default.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::PropagateResetPipeline ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Called to allocate the input array. Copies old inputs. Propagate a call to ResetPipeline() up the pipeline. Called only from DataObject.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::PushBackInput ( const DataObject * input ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Push/Pop an input of this process object. These methods allow a filter to model its input vector as a queue or stack. These routines may not be appropriate for all filters, especially filters with different types of inputs. These routines follow the semantics of STL.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::PushFrontInput ( const DataObject * input ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

Push/Pop an input of this process object. These methods allow a filter to model its input vector as a queue or stack. These routines may not be appropriate for all filters, especially filters with different types of inputs. These routines follow the semantics of STL.

virtual void itk::Object::Register ( ) const [virtual, inherited]

Increase the reference count (mark as used by another object).

Reimplemented from itk::LightObject.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlagOff ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Turn on/off the flags to control whether the bulk data belonging to the outputs of this ProcessObject are released/reallocated during an Update(). In limited memory scenarios, a user may want to force the elements of a pipeline to release any bulk data that is going to be regenerated anyway during an Update() in order to control peak memory allocation. Note that this flag is different from the ReleaseDataFlag. ReleaseDataFlag manages the deallocation of a ProcessObject's bulk output data once that data has been consumed by a downstream ProcessObject. The ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag manages the deallocation/reallocation of bulk data during a pipeline update to control peak memory utilization. Default value is on.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlagOn ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Turn on/off the flags to control whether the bulk data belonging to the outputs of this ProcessObject are released/reallocated during an Update(). In limited memory scenarios, a user may want to force the elements of a pipeline to release any bulk data that is going to be regenerated anyway during an Update() in order to control peak memory allocation. Note that this flag is different from the ReleaseDataFlag. ReleaseDataFlag manages the deallocation of a ProcessObject's bulk output data once that data has been consumed by a downstream ProcessObject. The ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag manages the deallocation/reallocation of bulk data during a pipeline update to control peak memory utilization. Default value is on.

void itk::ProcessObject::ReleaseDataFlagOff ( ) [inline, inherited]

Turn on/off the flags to control whether the bulk data belonging to the outputs of this ProcessObject are released after being used by a downstream ProcessObject. Default value is off. Another options for controlling memory utilization is the ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag.

void itk::ProcessObject::ReleaseDataFlagOn ( ) [inline, inherited]

Turn on/off the flags to control whether the bulk data belonging to the outputs of this ProcessObject are released after being used by a downstream ProcessObject. Default value is off. Another options for controlling memory utilization is the ReleaseDataBeforeUpdateFlag.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::ReleaseInputs ( ) [protected, virtual, inherited]

A filter may need to release its input's bulk data after it has finished calculating a new output. The filter may need to release the inputs because the user has turned on the ReleaseDataFlag or it may need to release the inputs because the filter is an "in place" filter and it has overwritten its input with its output data. The implementation here simply checks the ReleaseDataFlag of the inputs. InPlaceImageFilter overrides this method so release the input it has overwritten.

void itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::SetImageIO ( ImageIOBase * io ) [inline]

Set/Get the ImageIO helper class. Usually this is created via the object factory mechanism that determines whether a particular ImageIO can write a certain file. This method provides a way to get the ImageIO instance that is created, or one can be manually set where the IO factory mechanism may not work (for example, raw image files or image files with non-standard filename suffix's. If the user specifies the ImageIO, we assume she makes the correct choice and will allow a file to be created regardless of the file extension. If the factory has set the ImageIO, the extension must be supported by the specified ImageIO.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::UpdateLargestPossibleRegion ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Like Update(), but sets the output requested region to the largest possible region for the output. This is the method users should call if they want the entire dataset to be processed. If a user wants to update the same output region as a previous call to Update() or a previous call to UpdateLargestPossibleRegion(), then they should call the method Update().

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::UpdateOutputData ( DataObject * output ) [virtual, inherited]

Actually generate new output

Reimplemented in itk::StreamingImageFilter< TInputImage, TOutputImage >.

virtual void itk::ProcessObject::UpdateOutputInformation ( ) [virtual, inherited]

Update the information decribing the output data. This method transverses up the pipeline gathering modified time information. On the way back down the pipeline, this method calls GenerateOutputInformation() to set any necessary information about the output data objects. For instance, a filter that shrinks an image will need to provide an implementation for GenerateOutputInformation() that changes the spacing of the pixels. Such filters should call their superclass' implementation of GenerateOutputInformation prior to changing the information values they need (i.e. GenerateOutputInformation() should call Superclass::GenerateOutputInformation() prior to changing the information.

Reimplemented in itk::watershed::Segmenter< TInputImage >, itk::VTKImageImport< TOutputImage >, and itk::watershed::Segmenter< InputImageType >.

void itk::ProcessObject::UpdateProgress ( float amount ) [inherited]

template<class TInputImage >

virtual void itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::Write ( void ) [virtual]

A special version of the Update() method for writers. It invokes start and end events and handles releasing data. It eventually calls GenerateData() which does the actual writing. Note: the write method will write data specified by the IORegion. If not set, then then the whole image is written. Note that the region will be cropped to fit the input image's LargestPossibleRegion.
