SoOutput — used to write Inventor data files

       This class is used for writing Inventor data files. It supports both ASCII (default) and  binary  formats
       and  provides  some  convenience functions for handling files. It can also write to a buffer in memory as
       well as to a file pointer. A user-defined header can be specified for the output  file.  An  instance  of
       SoOutput is contained in an SoWriteAction; this is typically the only instance needed.

       SoOutput

SoOutput()~SoOutput()
          Constructor  and  destructor.  The  default SoOutput writes to stdout. The destructor closes any files
          opened by the SoOutput.

     voidsetFilePointer(FILE*newFP)
          Sets file pointer to write to.

     FILE*getFilePointer()const
          Returns the file pointer in use, or NULL if using a buffer.

     SbBoolopenFile(constchar*fileName)
          Opens named file, sets file pointer to result. This returns FALSE on error.

                         closeFile()
          Closes current file if opened with openFile().

     voidsetBuffer(void*bufPointer,size_tinitSize,SoOutputReallocCB*reallocFunc,int32_toffset=0)
          Sets  up  memory  buffer to write to, initial size, reallocation function (which is called if there is
          not enough room in the buffer),  and  offset  in  the  buffer  at  which  to  begin  writing.  If  the
          reallocation function returns NULL, writing will be disabled.

     SbBoolgetBuffer(void*&bufPointer,size_t&nBytes)const
          Returns pointer to memory buffer being written to and the new size of the buffer. Returns FALSE if not
          writing into a buffer.

     size_tgetBufferSize()const
          The total number of bytes allocated to a memory buffer may be larger than the number of bytes written.
          This returns that total number.

     voidresetBuffer()
          Resets buffer for output again. Output starts over at beginning of buffer.

     voidsetBinary(SbBoolflag)
          Sets whether output should be ASCII (default) or binary.

     SbBoolisBinary()const
          Returns current state of binary flag.

     voidsetHeaderString(constSbString&str)
          Sets  the  header  for  output files. This is useful, for example, if you have a file format that is a
          superset of the Inventor file format and you want Inventor to read the files. It is  highly  recommend
          that in your new header you simply append to the header of the Inventor file format you are extending.
          For  example, if a new file format is based on the Inventor 2.1 file format, register a header similar
          to: "#InventorV2.1asciiMYFILEFORMATEXTENSION" Then all Inventor 2.1 applications (and later) can
          read the file.

     voidresetHeaderString()
          Resets the header for output files to be the default header.

     staticSbStringgetDefaultASCIIHeader()
          Returns the string representing the default ASCII header.

     staticSbStringgetDefaultBinaryHeader()
          Returns the string representing the default binary header.

     voidsetFloatPrecision(intprecision)
          Sets the precision for writing floating point numbers, i.e. the number of significant digits. Floating
          point numbers are written using %.xg format, where 'x' is the value of the precision argument.
