Detailed Description

template<typename PROPTYPE, typename MeshT>
class OpenMesh::PropertyManager< PROPTYPE, MeshT >

This class is intended to manage the lifecycle of properties.

It also defines convenience operators to access the encapsulated property's value.

For C++11, it is recommended to use the factory functions makePropertyManagerFromNew, makePropertyManagerFromExisting, makePropertyManagerFromExistingOrNew to construct a PropertyManager, e.g.

TriMesh mesh;
auto visited = makePropertyManagerFromNew<VPropHandleT<bool>>(mesh, "visited.plugin-example.i8.informatik.rwth-aachen.de");
for (auto vh : mesh.vertices()) {
    if (!visited[vh]) {
        visitComponent(mesh, vh, visited);
    }
}

For C++98, it is usually more convenient to use the constructor explicitly, i.e.

TriMesh mesh;
PropertyManager<VPropHandleT<bool>, TriMesh> visited(mesh, "visited.plugin-example.i8.informatik.rwth-aachen.de");
for (TriMesh::VertexIter vh_it = mesh.begin(); ... ; ...) {
    if (!visited[*vh_it]) {
        visitComponent(mesh, *vh_it, visited);
    }
}

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename PROPTYPE, typename MeshT>

OpenMesh::PropertyManager< PROPTYPE, MeshT >::PropertyManager	(	MeshT &	mesh,
		const char *	propname,
		bool	existing = `false`
	)

inline

Constructor.

Throws an std::runtime_error if existing is true and no property named propname of the appropriate property type exists.

Parameters

mesh	The mesh on which to create the property.
propname	The name of the property.
existing	If false, a new property is created and its lifecycle is managed (i.e. the property is deleted upon destruction of the PropertyManager instance). If true, the instance merely acts as a convenience wrapper around an existing property with no lifecycle management whatsoever.

		MeshT &	src_mesh,
		const RangeType &	src_range,
		MeshT_2 &	dst_mesh,
		const RangeType_2 &	dst_range
	)

inlinestatic

Copy the values of a property from a source range to a target range.

The source range must not be smaller than the target range.

Parameters

prop_name	Name of the property to copy. Must exist on the source mesh. Will be created on the target mesh if it doesn't exist.
src_mesh	Source mesh from which to copy.
src_range	Source range which to copy. Must not be smaller than dst_range.
dst_mesh	Destination mesh on which to copy.
dst_range	Destination range.

template<typename PROPTYPE, typename MeshT>

template<typename HandleTypeIterator , typename PROPTYPE_2 , typename MeshT_2 , typename HandleTypeIterator_2 >

void OpenMesh::PropertyManager< PROPTYPE, MeshT >::copy_to	(	HandleTypeIterator	begin,
		HandleTypeIterator	end,
		PropertyManager< PROPTYPE_2, MeshT_2 > &	dst_propmanager,
		HandleTypeIterator_2	dst_begin,
		HandleTypeIterator_2	dst_end
	)		const

inline

Conveniently transfer the values managed by one property manager onto the values managed by a different property manager.

Parameters

begin	Start iterator. Needs to dereference to HandleType. Will be used with this property manager.
end	End iterator. (Exclusive.) Will be used with this property manager.
dst_propmanager	The destination property manager.
dst_begin	Start iterator. Needs to dereference to the HandleType of dst_propmanager. Will be used with dst_propmanager.
dst_end	End iterator. (Exclusive.) Will be used with dst_propmanager. Used to double check the bounds.

template<typename PROPTYPE, typename MeshT>

static Proxy OpenMesh::PropertyManager< PROPTYPE, MeshT >::createIfNotExists	(	MeshT &	mesh,
		const char *	propname
	)

inlinestatic

Create a property manager for the supplied property and mesh.

If the property doesn't exist, it is created. In any case, lifecycle management is disabled.

See also: makePropertyManagerFromExistingOrNew

template<typename PROPTYPE, typename MeshT>

template<typename PROP_VALUE , typename ITERATOR_TYPE >

static Proxy OpenMesh::PropertyManager< PROPTYPE, MeshT >::createIfNotExists	(	MeshT &	mesh,
		const char *	propname,
		const ITERATOR_TYPE &	begin,
		const ITERATOR_TYPE &	end,
		const PROP_VALUE &	init_value
	)

inlinestatic

Like createIfNotExists() with two parameters except, if the property doesn't exist, it is initialized with the supplied value over the supplied range after creation.

If the property already exists, this method has the exact same effect as the two parameter version. Lifecycle management is disabled in any case.

See also: makePropertyManagerFromExistingOrNew

template<typename PROPTYPE, typename MeshT>

template<typename HandleType >

PROPTYPE::reference OpenMesh::PropertyManager< PROPTYPE, MeshT >::operator[] ( const HandleType & handle )

inline

Enables convenient access to the encapsulated property.

For a usage example see this class' documentation.

Parameters

handle A handle of the appropriate handle type. (I.e. VertexHandle for VPropHandleT, etc.)

template<typename PROPTYPE, typename MeshT>

template<typename HandleType >

PROPTYPE::const_reference OpenMesh::PropertyManager< PROPTYPE, MeshT >::operator[] ( const HandleType & handle ) const

inline

Enables convenient access to the encapsulated property.

For a usage example see this class' documentation.

Parameters

handle A handle of the appropriate handle type. (I.e. VertexHandle for VPropHandleT, etc.)

template<typename PROPTYPE, typename MeshT>

void OpenMesh::PropertyManager< PROPTYPE, MeshT >::retain ( bool doRetain = true )

inline

Disable lifecycle management for this property.

If this method is called, the encapsulated property will not be deleted upon destruction of the PropertyManager instance.

template<typename PROPTYPE, typename MeshT>

template<typename HandleTypeIterator , typename PROP_VALUE >

void OpenMesh::PropertyManager< PROPTYPE, MeshT >::set_range	(	HandleTypeIterator	begin,
		HandleTypeIterator	end,
		const PROP_VALUE &	value
	)

inline

Conveniently set the property for an entire range of values.

Examples:

MeshT mesh;
PropertyManager<VPropHandleT<double>, MeshT> distance(
    mesh, "distance.plugin-example.i8.informatik.rwth-aachen.de");
distance.set_range(
    mesh.vertices_begin(), mesh.vertices_end(),
    std::numeric_limits<double>::infinity());

or

MeshT::VertexHandle vh;
distance.set_range(
    mesh.vv_begin(vh), mesh.vv_end(vh),
    std::numeric_limits<double>::infinity());

Parameters

begin	Start iterator. Needs to dereference to HandleType.
end	End iterator. (Exclusive.)
value	The value the range will be set to.
