Detailed Description

Abstract superclass defines image IO interface.

ImageIOBase is a class that reads and/or writes image data of a particular format (such as PNG or raw binary). The ImageIOBase encapsulates both the reading and writing of data. The ImageIOBase is used by the ImageFileReader class (to read data) and the ImageFileWriter (to write data) into a single file. The ImageSeriesReader and ImageSeriesWriter classes are used to read and write data (in conjunction with ImageIOBase) when the data is represented by a series of files. Normally the user does not directly manipulate this class other than to instantiate it, set the FileName, and assign it to a ImageFileReader/ImageFileWriter or ImageSeriesReader/ImageSeriesWriter.

A Pluggable factory pattern is used this allows different kinds of readers to be registered (even at run time) without having to modify the code in this class.

virtual bool itk::ImageIOBase::CanReadFile ( const char *  )
pure virtual
virtual bool itk::ImageIOBase::CanStreamRead ( void  )

Determine if the ImageIO can stream reading from the current settings. Default is false. If this is queried after the header of the file has been read then it will indicate if that file can be streamed

Reimplemented in itk::MetaImageIO, itk::VTKImageIO, and itk::StreamingImageIOBase.

Definition at line 324 of file itkImageIOBase.h.

virtual bool itk::ImageIOBase::CanStreamWrite ( void  )
inlinevirtual

Determine if the ImageIO can stream write from the current settings.

There are two types of non exclusive streaming: pasteing subregions, and iterative

Reimplemented in itk::MetaImageIO, itk::JPEG2000ImageIO, itk::VTKImageIO, and itk::StreamingImageIOBase.

Definition at line 348 of file itkImageIOBase.h.

virtual bool itk::ImageIOBase::CanWriteFile ( const char *  )
pure virtual
void itk::ImageIOBase::ComputeStrides ( )
protected

Calculates the different strides (distance from one thing to the next). Upon return, strides[0] = bytes to get to the next component of a pixel, strides[1] = bytes to get to the next pixel in x direction, strides[2] = bytes to get to the next row in y direction, strides[3] = bytes to get to the next slice in z direction, etc.

virtual ImageIORegion itk::ImageIOBase::GenerateStreamableReadRegionFromRequestedRegion ( const ImageIORegion requested) const
virtual

Method for supporting streaming. Given a requested region, determine what could be the region that we can read from the file. This is called the streamable region, which will be equal or smaller than the LargestPossibleRegion (unless it was dimensionaly clipped) and greater or equal to the RequestedRegion

the resulting IORegion may be a greater dimensions the the requested IORegion, if the the derived class is unable to read the requested region. For example if the file has a size of [ 10, 10, 10] but the requested region is [10, 10] the return may be 3 dimensions.

Reimplemented in itk::MetaImageIO, itk::NiftiImageIO, itk::JPEG2000ImageIO, and itk::StreamingImageIOBase.

virtual unsigned int itk::ImageIOBase::GetActualNumberOfSplitsForWriting ( unsigned int  numberOfRequestedSplits,
const ImageIORegion pasteRegion,
const ImageIORegion largestPossibleRegion 
)
virtual

Before this method is called all the configuration will be done, that is Streaming/PasteRegion/Compression/Filename etc If pasting is being used the number of requested splits is for that region not the largest. The derived ImageIO class should verify that the file is capable of being written with this configuration. If pasted is enabled and is not support or does not work with the file, then an excepetion should be thrown.

The default implementation depends on CanStreamWrite. If false then 1 is returned (unless pasting is indicated), so that the whole file will be updated in one region. If true then its assumed that any arbitrary region can be written to any file. So the users request will be respected. If a derived class has more restictive conditions then they should be checked

Reimplemented in itk::MetaImageIO, and itk::StreamingImageIOBase.

virtual ByteOrder itk::ImageIOBase::GetByteOrder ( ) const
virtual

These methods indicate the byte ordering of the file you are trying to read in. These methods will then either swap or not swap the bytes depending on the byte ordering of the machine it is being run on. For example, reading in a BigEndian file on a BigEndian machine will result in no swapping. Trying to read the same file on a LittleEndian machine will result in swapping. Note: most UNIX machines are BigEndian while PC's and VAX's are LittleEndian. So if the file you are reading in was generated on a VAX or PC, SetByteOrderToLittleEndian() otherwise SetByteOrderToBigEndian(). Some ImageIOBase subclasses ignore these methods.

These methods indicate the byte ordering of the file you are trying to read in. These methods will then either swap or not swap the bytes depending on the byte ordering of the machine it is being run on. For example, reading in a BigEndian file on a BigEndian machine will result in no swapping. Trying to read the same file on a LittleEndian machine will result in swapping. Note: most UNIX machines are BigEndian while PC's and VAX's are LittleEndian.

Set/Get the image dimensions in the x, y, z, etc. directions. GetDimensions() is typically used after reading the data; the SetDimensions() is used prior to writing the data.

virtual void itk::ImageIOBase::SetDirection ( unsigned int  i,
std::vector< double > &  direction 
)
virtual

Set/Get the image direction on an axis-by-axis basis. The SetDirection() method is required when writing the image.

Reimplemented in itk::FileListVideoIO.

virtual void itk::ImageIOBase::SetFileType ( const FileType  _arg)

These methods control whether the file is written binary or ASCII. Many file formats (i.e., subclasses) ignore this flag.

virtual void itk::ImageIOBase::SetIORegion ( ImageIORegion  _arg)
virtual

Specify the region of the image data to either read or write. The IORegion specifies the part of the image to read or write. Regions are defined with an index and a size vector. These vectors define the start (lower-left corner) and length of the region within the image. Make sure that the IORegion lies within the image.

virtual void itk::ImageIOBase::SetNumberOfComponents ( unsigned int  _arg)
virtual

Set/Get the number of components per pixel in the image. This may be set by the reading process. For SCALAR pixel types, NumberOfComponents will be 1. For other pixel types, NumberOfComponents will be greater than or equal to one.

void itk::ImageIOBase::SetNumberOfDimensions ( unsigned  int)

Set/Get the number of independent variables (dimensions) in the image being read or written. Note this is not necessarily what is written, rather the IORegion controls that.

virtual void itk::ImageIOBase::SetOrigin ( unsigned int  i,
double  origin 
)
virtual

Set/Get the image origin on a axis-by-axis basis. The SetOrigin() method is required when writing the image.

virtual void itk::ImageIOBase::SetPixelType ( const IOPixelType  _arg)
virtual

Set/Get the type of the pixel. The PixelTypes provides context to the IO mechanisms for data conversions. PixelTypes can be SCALAR, RGB, RGBA, VECTOR, COVARIANTVECTOR, POINT, INDEX. If the PIXELTYPE is SCALAR, then the NumberOfComponents should be 1. Any other of PIXELTYPE will have more than one component.

inlinevirtual

The different types of ImageIO's can support data of varying dimensionality. For example, some file formats are strictly 2D while others can support 2D, 3D, or even n-D. This method returns true/false as to whether the ImageIO can support the dimension indicated.
