Member Function Documentation

◆ _GetLayerData()

static SDF_API SdfAbstractDataConstPtr _GetLayerData ( const SdfLayer layer)
staticprotected

Get the internal data for layer.

◆ _InitDetachedData()

virtual SDF_API SdfAbstractDataRefPtr _InitDetachedData ( const FileFormatArguments args) const
protectedvirtual
See also
InitDetachedData

This function must return a new SdfAbstractData object that is detached, i.e. SdfAbstractData::IsDetached returns false.

The default implementation returns an SdfData object.

Reimplemented in UsdUsdFileFormat.

◆ _ReadAndCopyLayerDataToMemory()

SDF_API bool _ReadAndCopyLayerDataToMemory ( SdfLayer layer,
const std::string &  resolvedPath,
bool  metadataOnly,
bool *  didCopyData = nullptr 
) const
protected

Helper function for _ReadDetached.

Calls Read with the given parameters. If successful and layer is not detached (i.e., SdfLayer::IsDetached returns false) copies the layer data into an SdfData object and set that into layer. If this copy occurs and didCopyData is given, it will be set to true.

Note that the copying process is a simple spec-by-spec, field-by-field value copy. This process may not produce detached layers if the data object used by layer after the initial call to Read returns VtValues that are not detached. One example is a VtValue holding a VtArray backed by a foreign data source attached to a memory mapping.

Returns true if Read was successful, false otherwise.

◆ _ReadDetached()

virtual SDF_API bool _ReadDetached ( SdfLayer layer,
const std::string &  resolvedPath,
bool  metadataOnly 
) const
protectedvirtual
See also
ReadDetached

Upon completion, layer must have an SdfAbstractData object set that is detached, i.e. SdfAbstractData::IsDetached returns false.

The default implementation calls _ReadAndCopyLayerDataToMemory to read the specified layer and copy its data into an SdfData object if it is not detached. If data is copied, a warning will be issued since this may be an expensive operation. If the above behavior is desired, subclasses can just call _ReadAndCopyLayerDataToMemory to do the same thing but without the warning.

Reimplemented in UsdUsdFileFormat, and UsdUsdzFileFormat.

Set the internal data for layer to data, possibly transferring ownership of data.

Existing layer hints are reset to the default hints.

◆ _SetLayerData() [2/2]

static SDF_API void _SetLayerData ( SdfLayer layer,
SdfAbstractDataRefPtr &  data,
SdfLayerHints  hints 
)
staticprotected

Set the internal data for layer to data, possibly transferring ownership of data.

Existing layer hints are replaced with hints.

◆ _ShouldReadAnonymousLayers()

pure virtual

Returns true if file can be read by this format.

Implemented in SdfTextFileFormat, UsdUsdFileFormat, UsdUsdzFileFormat, and UsdUsdcFileFormat.

◆ FindAllDerivedFileFormatExtensions()

static SDF_API std::set< std::string > FindAllDerivedFileFormatExtensions ( const TfType baseType)
static

Returns a set containing the extension(s) corresponding to all registered file formats that derive from baseType.

baseType must derive from SdfFileFormat.

◆ FindAllFileFormatExtensions()

static SDF_API std::set< std::string > FindAllFileFormatExtensions ( )
static

Returns a set containing the extension(s) corresponding to all registered file formats.

◆ FindByExtension() [1/2]

static SDF_API SdfFileFormatConstPtr FindByExtension ( const std::string &  path,
const FileFormatArguments args 
)
static

Returns a file format instance that supports the extension for path and whose target matches one of those specified by the given args.

If the args specify no target, then the file format that is registered as the primary plugin will be returned. If a format with a matching extension is not found, this returns a null file format pointer.

◆ FindByExtension() [2/2]

static SDF_API SdfFileFormatConstPtr FindByExtension ( const std::string &  path,
const std::string &  target = std::string() 
)
static

Returns the file format instance that supports the extension for path.

If a format with a matching extension is not found, this returns a null file format pointer.

An extension may be handled by multiple file formats, but each with a different target. In such cases, if no target is specified, the file format that is registered as the primary plugin will be returned. Otherwise, the file format whose target matches target will be returned.

◆ FindById()

static SDF_API SdfFileFormatConstPtr FindById ( const TfToken formatId)
static

Returns the file format instance with the specified formatId identifier.

If a format with a matching identifier is not found, this returns a null file format pointer.

◆ FormatSupportsEditing()

static SDF_API bool FormatSupportsEditing ( const std::string &  extension,
const std::string &  target = std::string() 
)
static

Returns true if the file format for the supplied extension and target pair supports editing.

◆ FormatSupportsReading()

static SDF_API bool FormatSupportsReading ( const std::string &  extension,
const std::string &  target = std::string() 
)
static

◆ GetDefaultFileFormatArguments()

virtual SDF_API FileFormatArguments GetDefaultFileFormatArguments ( ) const
virtual

Returns the FileFormatArguments that correspond to the default behavior of this file format when no FileFormatArguments are passed to NewLayer or InitData.

◆ GetExternalAssetDependencies()

virtual SDF_API std::set< std::string > GetExternalAssetDependencies ( const SdfLayer layer) const
virtual

Returns the set of resolved paths to external asset file dependencies for the given layer.

These are additional dependencies, specific to the file format, that are needed when generating the layer's contents and would not otherwise be discoverable through composition dependencies (i.e. sublayers, references, and payloads).

The default implementation returns an empty set. Derived file formats that depend on external assets to read and generate layer content should implement this function to return the external asset paths.

SdfLayer::GetExternalAssetDependencies
SdfLayer::Reload

◆ GetFileCookie()

SDF_API const std::string & GetFileCookie ( ) const

Returns the cookie to be used when writing files with this format.

virtual

This method allows the file format to bind to whatever data container is appropriate.

Returns a shared pointer to an SdfAbstractData implementation.

Reimplemented in UsdUsdcFileFormat, UsdUsdFileFormat, and UsdUsdzFileFormat.

◆ InitDetachedData()

SDF_API SdfAbstractDataRefPtr InitDetachedData ( const FileFormatArguments args) const

Returns a new SdfAbstractData providing access to the layer's data.

Returns true if extension matches one of the extensions returned by GetFileExtensions.

◆ NewLayer()

SDF_API SdfLayerRefPtr NewLayer ( const SdfFileFormatConstPtr &  fileFormat,
const std::string &  identifier,
const std::string &  realPath,
const ArAssetInfo assetInfo,
const FileFormatArguments args 
) const

Instantiate a layer.

◆ Read()

virtual SDF_API bool Read ( SdfLayer layer,
const std::string &  resolvedPath,
bool  metadataOnly 
) const
pure virtual

Reads scene description from the asset specified by resolvedPath into the layer layer.

metadataOnly is a flag that asks for only the layer metadata to be read in, which can be much faster if that is all that is required. Note that this is just a hint: some FileFormat readers may disregard this flag and still fully populate the layer contents.

Returns true if the asset is successfully read into layer, false otherwise.

Implemented in SdfTextFileFormat, UsdUsdFileFormat, UsdUsdzFileFormat, and UsdUsdcFileFormat.

◆ ReadDetached()

SDF_API bool ReadDetached ( SdfLayer layer,
const std::string &  resolvedPath,
bool  metadataOnly 
) const

Reads scene description from the asset specified by resolvedPath into the detached layer layer.

After reading is completed, layer must be detached from any underlying storage.

metadataOnly is a flag that asks for only the layer metadata to be read in, which can be much faster if that is all that is required. Note that this is just a hint: some FileFormat readers may disregard this flag and still fully populate the layer contents.

Returns true if the asset is successfully read into layer, false if the the asset could not be read or if the resulting layer is not detached.

◆ ReadFromString()

virtual SDF_API bool ReadFromString ( SdfLayer layer,
const std::string &  str 
) const
virtual

Reads data in the string str into the layer layer.

If the file is successfully read, this method returns true. Otherwise, false is returned and errors are posted.

Reimplemented in SdfTextFileFormat, UsdUsdFileFormat, UsdUsdzFileFormat, and UsdUsdcFileFormat.

◆ SaveToFile()

virtual SDF_API bool SaveToFile ( const SdfLayer layer,
const std::string &  filePath,
const std::string &  comment = std::string(),
const FileFormatArguments args = FileFormatArguments() 
) const
virtual

Write the content in layer to the file at filePath, which is the backing store for layer itself.

If the content is successfully written, this method returns true. Otherwise, false is returned and errors are posted. The default implementation just calls WriteToFile() passing all the same arguments.

The purpose of this member function is to provide a distinction between a "Save" operation that updates the backing store for the layer itself and an "Export" operation that writes the layer data to a distinct asset. File formats that retain all data in memory can typically override only WriteToFile(), but formats that do not may need to take different action on "Save" vs "Export".

Reimplemented in UsdUsdFileFormat, and UsdUsdcFileFormat.

◆ ShouldReadAnonymousLayers()

SDF_API bool ShouldReadAnonymousLayers ( ) const

Returns true if anonymous layer identifiers should be passed to Read when a layer is opened or reloaded.

Anonymous layers will not have an asset backing and thus for most file formats there is nothing that can be read for an anonymous layer. However, there are file formats that use Read to generate dynamic layer content without reading any data from the resolved asset associated with the layer's identifier.

For these types of file formats it is useful to be able to open anonymous layers and allow Read to populate them to avoid requiring a placeholder asset to exist just so Read can populate the layer.

◆ ShouldSkipAnonymousReload()

SDF_API bool ShouldSkipAnonymousReload ( ) const

Return true if this file format prefers to skip reloading anonymous layers.

◆ SupportsEditing()

SDF_API bool SupportsEditing ( ) const

This is a convenience method for invoking FormatSupportsEditing with this format's extension and target.

◆ SupportsReading()

SDF_API bool SupportsReading ( ) const

Returns true if this file format supports reading.

This is a convenience method for invoking FormatSupportsReading with this format's extension and target

◆ SupportsWriting()

SDF_API bool SupportsWriting ( ) const

This is a convenience method for invoking FormatSupportsWriting with this format's extension and target.

◆ WriteToFile()

virtual SDF_API bool WriteToFile ( const SdfLayer layer,
const std::string &  filePath,
const std::string &  comment = std::string(),
const FileFormatArguments args = FileFormatArguments() 
) const
virtual

Writes the content in layer into the file at filePath.

If the content is successfully written, this method returns true. Otherwise, false is returned and errors are posted. The default implementation returns false.

This member function makes no distinction between a "Save" operation that updates the backing store for the layer itself and an "Export" operation that writes the layer data to a distinct asset. For file formats that retain all data in memory this is typically fine. But for file formats that handle data requests by reading from the backing store, this distinction can be important. In that case, additionally override the member function SaveToFile() to take different action.

Reimplemented in SdfTextFileFormat, UsdUsdFileFormat, UsdUsdzFileFormat, and UsdUsdcFileFormat.

◆ WriteToStream()

virtual SDF_API bool WriteToStream ( const SdfSpecHandle &  spec,
std::ostream &  out,
size_t  indent 
) const
virtual

Write the provided spec to out indented indent levels.

Reimplemented in SdfTextFileFormat, UsdUsdcFileFormat, UsdUsdFileFormat, and UsdUsdzFileFormat.

◆ WriteToString()

virtual SDF_API bool WriteToString ( const SdfLayer layer,
std::string *  str,
const std::string &  comment = std::string() 
) const
virtual

Writes the content in layer to the string str.

This function should write a textual representation of layer to the stream that can be read back in via ReadFromString.

Reimplemented in SdfTextFileFormat, UsdUsdFileFormat, UsdUsdzFileFormat, and UsdUsdcFileFormat.
