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.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class TInputImage >
itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::ImageFileWriter ( ) [protected]

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.

Member Function Documentation

template<class TInputImage >
virtual::itk::LightObject::Pointer itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::CreateAnother ( void  ) const [virtual]

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::Object.

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

Does the real work.

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

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

Specify the name of the output file to write.

template<class TInputImage >
virtual ImageIOBase* itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::GetImageIO ( ) [virtual]
template<class TInputImage >
const InputImageType* itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::GetInput ( void  )

template<class TInputImage >
virtual const char* itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::GetNameOfClass ( ) const [virtual]

Run-time type information (and related methods).

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

template<class TInputImage >
virtual const unsigned int& itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::GetNumberOfStreamDivisions ( ) [virtual]

Set/Get the number of pieces to divide the input. The upstream pipeline will try to be executed this many times.

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.

template<class TInputImage >
static Pointer itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::New ( ) [static]

Method for creation through the object factory.

Reimplemented from itk::Object.

template<class TInputImage >
void itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::operator= ( const Self ) [private]

Time when GenerateOutputInformation was last called.

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

template<class TInputImage >
void itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::PrintSelf ( std::ostream &  os,
Indent  indent 
) const [protected, 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.

Reimplemented from itk::ProcessObject.

template<class TInputImage >
virtual void itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::SetFileName ( const char *  _arg) [virtual]

Specify the name of the output file to write.

template<class TInputImage >
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.

template<class TInputImage >
void itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::SetInput ( const InputImageType input)
template<class TInputImage >
void itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::SetIORegion ( const ImageIORegion region)

template<class TInputImage >
virtual void itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::SetUseInputMetaDataDictionary ( bool  _arg) [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.

Definition at line 164 of file itkImageFileWriter.h.

template<class TInputImage >
virtual void itk::ImageFileWriter< TInputImage >::UpdateLargestPossibleRegion ( ) [inline, virtual]

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.
