SoByteStream(3IV)()													       SoByteStream(3IV)()

NAME

       SoByteStream -- converts scene graph objects to character byte streams

INHERITS FROM

       SoByteStream

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Inventor/misc/SoByteStream.h>

	  Methods from class SoByteStream:

			  SoByteStream()
			  ~SoByteStream()
     void		  convert(SoNode *node, SbBool binaryFormat = TRUE)
     void		  convert(SoPath *path, SbBool binaryFormat = TRUE)
     void		  convert(SoPathList *pathList, SbBool binaryFormat = TRUE)
     void *		  getData()
     uint32_t		  getNumBytes()
     static SoPathList *  unconvert(SoByteStream *byteStream)
     static SoPathList *  unconvert(void *data, uint32_t numBytes)

DESCRIPTION

       This  class  creates a byte stream representation of a scene graph, using an SoWriteAction to write path lists to an in-memory buffer. Byte
       streams are commonly used to transfer data in copy and paste operations. (The SoXtClipboard class passes SoByteStream data during copy  and
       paste.)

METHODS

			  SoByteStream()
			  ~SoByteStream()
	  Constructor and destructor.

     void		  convert(SoNode *node, SbBool binaryFormat = TRUE)
     void		  convert(SoPath *path, SbBool binaryFormat = TRUE)
     void		  convert(SoPathList *pathList, SbBool binaryFormat = TRUE)
	  These  convert  the passed scene graph object(s) into a byte stream. The caller may specify whether the byte stream is written in binary
	  (TRUE) or ASCII (FALSE) format, and can pass the object(s) by node, path, or pathList.

     void *		  getData()
     uint32_t		  getNumBytes()
	  These return the data and number of bytes from the last convert() operation. This byte stream format is well suited to  data	transfers,
	  like copy and paste.

     static SoPathList *  unconvert(SoByteStream *byteStream)
     static SoPathList *  unconvert(void *data, uint32_t numBytes)
	  These take byte stream data and unconvert it back to scene graph objects. The objects are returned in a path list.
