Detailed Description

Base class for writing geometry to a file.

A writer object accumulates geometry and then writes a file when the object is destroyed. You must set the name of the file being written to before writing using the IMP::display::Writer::set_file_name() method.

Frames

The writer has a concept of the current frame. Depending on the implementation, each frame might be stored in a separate file or they might all be in one file. If using a writer that stores frames in multiple files, you should include a %1% in the filename which will get replaced by the frame number.

int get_frame () const
 

Geometry Addition methods

These methods can be used to add geometry to the model. If you do not want the geometry objects to be destroyed upon addition, make sure you store an IMP::Pointer to them externally.

Exceptions
