Save a 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object to a file.

Syntax

void M3dgeoSave(
    AIL_CONST_TEXT_PTR FileName,                 //in
    AIL_ID             GeometryOrMatrix3dgeoId,  //in
    AIL_INT64          ControlFlag               //in
)

Description

This function saves all the information about a previously allocated 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object to disk.

To load a saved context, use either M3dgeoRestore or M3dgeoStream.

Parameters

FileName (in, AIL_CONST_TEXT_PTR)

Specifies the name and path of the file in which to save the 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object; it is recommended that you use the M3DGEO file extension for easier use with other Aurora Imaging software products. The function internally handles the opening and closing of this file. If this file already exists, it will be overwritten.

For specifying the file name and path

Value	Description
M_INTERACTIVE	Opens the File Save As dialog box from which you can interactively specify the drive, directory, and name of the file.
"FileName"	Specifies the drive, directory, and name of the file (for example, "C:\mydirectory\myfile"). The recommended extension is M3DGEO.

To specify a file on a remote computer (under Distributed Aurora Imaging Library), prefix the specified file name string with "remote:///" (for example, "remote:///C:\mydirectory\myfile"). |

GeometryOrMatrix3dgeoId (in, AIL_ID)

Specifies the identifier of the 3D geometry object or transformation matrix object to save. These must have been successfully allocated with M3dgeoAlloc prior to calling this function.

ControlFlag (in, AIL_INT64)

Reserved for future expansion and must be set to M_DEFAULT.
