output_to_avizo()

template<class C3T3 >

void CGAL::IO::output_to_avizo	(	std::ostream &	os,
		const C3T3 &	c3t3
	)

#include <CGAL/IO/File_avizo.h>

exports a mesh complex to the Avizo (.am) file format

Template Parameters

C3T3	a class model of MeshComplex_3InTriangulation_3

Parameters

os	the output stream
c3t3	the mesh complex

output_to_tetgen()

template<class C3T3 >

void CGAL::IO::output_to_tetgen	(	std::string	filename,
		const C3T3 &	c3t3,
		bool	rebind = false,
		bool	show_patches = false
	)

#include <CGAL/IO/File_tetgen.h>

exports a mesh complex to tetgen format

Parameters

filename	the path to the output files, without the extension.
c3t3	the mesh complex
rebind	if true, labels of cells are rebinded into [1..nb_of_labels]
show_patches	if true, patches are labeled with different labels than cells. If false, each surface facet is written twice, using the label of each adjacent cell.

output_to_vtu()

template<class C3T3 >

void CGAL::IO::output_to_vtu	(	std::ostream &	os,
		const C3T3 &	c3t3,
		Mode	mode = BINARY
	)

#include <CGAL/IO/output_to_vtu.h>

exports a tetrahedral mesh complex using the UnstructuredGrid XML format.

Template Parameters

C3T3	a model of MeshComplexWithFeatures_3InTriangulation_3.

Parameters

os	the stream used for writing
c3t3	the mesh complex
mode	decides if the data should be written in binary (IO::BINARY) or in ASCII (IO::ASCII). If the mode is binary, then the stream os must be opened in binary mode.
