Member Function Documentation

◆ Identify()

virtual Bool Identify ( const Filename name,
UChar probe,
Int32  size 
)
pure virtual

Called to identify a file type as one that can be loaded using the bitmap loader.
If possible, the file should not be identified through its suffix, but through the probe data.

Parameters
[in]nameThe filename of the file.
[in]probeThe start of a small chunk of data from the start of the file to identify the file type. Cinema 4D owns the pointed array.
[in]sizeThe size of the probe chunk, usually 1024 bytes.
Returns
true if the bitmap loader recognizes the file type, otherwise false.

◆ Load()

virtual IMAGERESULT Load ( const Filename name,
BaseBitmap bm,
Int32  frame 
)
pure virtual

Called to load an image file into a bitmap.

Parameters
[in]nameThe name of the file to load.
[in]bmThe bitmap to load the image file into. Cinema 4D owns the pointed bitmap.
[in]frameThe frame number for formats containing multiple images in a file such as QuickTime or AVI.
Returns
The result of loading the file: IMAGERESULT

◆ GetSaver()

virtual Int32 GetSaver ( )
virtual

Called to get the plugin ID of the corresponding BitmapSaverData, if there is one.

Returns
The plugin ID of the corresponding bitmap saver, or nullptr if there is none.

◆ GetInformation()

virtual Bool GetInformation ( const Filename name,
Int32 frames,
Float fps 
)
virtual

Called to get information on the loading of movies.

Parameters
[in]nameThe name of the file to check.
[out]framesSet this to the number of frames.
[out]fpsSet this to the number of frames-per-second.
Returns
true if the information could be retrieved, otherwise false.

◆ LoadAnimated()

virtual IMAGERESULT LoadAnimated ( BitmapLoaderAnimatedData bd,
BITMAPLOADERACTION  action,
BaseBitmap bm,
Int32  frame 
)
virtual

Called to accelerate the loading of animated bitmaps.

Note
When LoadAnimated() is called with BITMAPLOADERACTION::INIT action (bm is nullptr and frame is 0) the loader can open the movie file bd->moviename and store data in the buffer field bd->moviedata[16].
For every call of BITMAPLOADERACTION::INIT, there is a BITMAPLOADERACTION::FREE (bm is nullptr and frame is 0) in which the image loader closes the movie file.
In between BITMAPLOADERACTION::LOAD is called with a valid bm and frame.

Loaders that overload LoadAnimated do not need to implement code twice, Load should in that case just look like this:

{
data.moviename = name;
return err;
}

Definition: c4d_filterdata.h:50
Parameters
[in]bdThe bitmap loader animated data. Cinema 4D owns the pointed data.
[in]actionThe bitmap loader action: BITMAPLOADERACTION
[out]bmTo be filled with the frame bitmap in BITMAPLOADERACTION::LOAD action call. Cinema 4D owns the pointed bitmap.
[in]frameThe frame to put into bitmap bm.
Returns
The result of loading the animated file: IMAGERESULT

◆ ExtractSound()

virtual IMAGERESULT ExtractSound ( BitmapLoaderAnimatedData bd,
BaseSound snd 
)
virtual

Called to extract the sound of animated bitmaps.

Parameters
[in]bdThe bitmap loader animated data. Cinema 4D owns the pointed data.
[in]sndThe extracted sound. Cinema 4D owns the pointed sound.
Returns
The result of extracting the sound: IMAGERESULT

◆ HasSound()

virtual IMAGERESULT HasSound ( BitmapLoaderAnimatedData bd)
virtual

Called by the Picture Viewer to determine whether a movie has sound or not.

Parameters
[in]bdThe bitmap loader animated data. Cinema 4D owns the pointed data.
Returns
The result: IMAGERESULT
