## Detailed Description

Class for serialising mesh data to/from an OGRE .mesh file.

Remarks:
  This class allows exporters to write OGRE .mesh files easily, and allows the OGRE engine to import .mesh files into instatiated OGRE Meshes. Note that a .mesh file can include not only the Mesh, but also definitions of any Materials it uses (although this is optional, the .mesh can rely on the Material being loaded from another source, especially useful if you want to take advantage of OGRE's advanced Material properties which may not be available in your modeller).

  To export a Mesh:
  1. Use the MaterialManager methods to create any dependent Material objects, if you want to export them with the Mesh.
  2. Create a Mesh object and populate it using it's methods.
  3. Call the exportMesh method

  It's important to realise that this exporter uses OGRE terminology. In this context, 'Mesh' means a top-level mesh structure which can actually contain many SubMeshes, each of which has only one Material. Modelling packages may refer to these differently, for example in Milkshape, it says 'Model' instead of 'Mesh' and 'Mesh' instead of 'SubMesh', but the theory is the same.

## Member Typedef Documentation

typedef std::map<String, MeshSerializerImpl* > Ogre::MeshSerializer::MeshSerializerImplMap`[protected]`

## Member Enumeration Documentation

enum Ogre::Serializer::Endian`[inherited]`

The endianness of written files.

Enumerator:

  ENDIAN_NATIVE | Use the platform native endian.
  ENDIAN_BIG | Use big endian (0x1000 is serialised as 0x10 0x00).
  ENDIAN_LITTLE | Use little endian (0x1000 is serialised as 0x00 0x10).

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Ogre::MeshSerializer::MeshSerializer | ( |  | ) |

virtual Ogre::MeshSerializer::~MeshSerializer | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

## Member Function Documentation

void Ogre::MeshSerializer::exportMesh | ( | const Mesh * | pMesh,
|  | const String & | filename,
|  | Endian | endianMode = `ENDIAN_NATIVE` |
| ) |  |  |

Exports a mesh to the file specified.

Remarks:
  This method takes an externally created Mesh object, and exports both it and optionally the Materials it uses to a .mesh file.

Parameters:

  | pMesh | Pointer to the Mesh to export
  | filename | The destination filename
  | endianMode | The endian mode of the written file

void Ogre::MeshSerializer::importMesh | ( | DataStreamPtr & | stream,
|  | Mesh * | pDest |
| ) |  |  |

Imports Mesh and (optionally) Material data from a .mesh file DataStream.

Remarks:
  This method imports data from a DataStream opened from a .mesh file and places it's contents into the Mesh object which is passed in.

Parameters:

  | stream | The DataStream holding the .mesh data. Must be initialised (pos at the start of the buffer).
  | pDest | Pointer to the Mesh object which will receive the data. Should be blank already.
