Inheritance diagram for IMP::base::TextOutput:

Public Member Functions
	TextOutput (std::string file_name, bool append=false)
	TextOutput (std::ostream &out, std::string name="C++ stream")
std::string	get_name () const
	IMP_SHOWABLE_INLINE (TextOutput, out<< get_name())

Detailed Description

A TextOutput can be implicitly constructed from a C++ stream, a Python filelike object or a path to a file. As a result, those can be passed directly to functions which take a TextOutput as an argument.

Files are created lazily, so TextOutput can be passed as arguments to functions that might not produce output.

IMP::atom::write_pdb(particles, "path/to/file.pdb");
IMP::atom::write_pdb(particles, my_fstream);
