Defined in:
lib/import/base.rb

Overview

The base class for all the import modules. By default, when you inherit from this class the inherited class will be included in the list of supported Tracksperanto importers. The API that an importer should present is very basic, and consists only of a few methods. The main method is ‘each`.

Instance Attribute Details

#height ⇒ Object

The original width and height of the tracked image. If you need to know the width for your specific format and cannot autodetect it, Trakcksperanto will assign the passed width and height to the importer object before running the import. If not, you can replace the assigned values with your own. At the end of the import procedure, Tracksperanto will read the values from you again and will use the read values for determining the original comp size. width and height MUST return unsigned integer values after the import completes

end

#io ⇒ Object

Handle to the IO with data being parsed

def io
  @io
end

#progress_block ⇒ Object

Tracksperanto will assign a proc that reports the status of the import to the caller. This block is automatically used by report_progress IF the proc is assigned. Should the proc be nil, the report_progress method will just pass (so you don’t need to check for nil yourself)

  @progress_block
end

#width ⇒ Object

The original width and height of the tracked image. If you need to know the width for your specific format and cannot autodetect it, Trakcksperanto will assign the passed width and height to the importer object before running the import. If not, you can replace the assigned values with your own.

Class Method Details

.autodetects_size? ⇒ Boolean

Return true from this method if your importer can deduce the comp size from the passed file

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/import/base.rb', line 55

def self.autodetects_size?
  false
end

.distinct_file_ext ⇒ Object

Return an extension WITH DOT if this format has a typical extension that you can detect (like “.nk” for Nuke)

# File 'lib/import/base.rb', line 41

def self.distinct_file_ext

.human_name ⇒ Object

Should return a human-readable (read: properly capitalized and with spaces) name of the import format

# File 'lib/import/base.rb', line 46

def self.human_name
  "Abstract import format"
end

.inherited(by) ⇒ Object

Used to register your importer in the list of supported formats. Normally you would not need to override this

# File 'lib/import/base.rb', line 34

def self.inherited(by)

.known_snags ⇒ Object

Returns a textual description of things to check when the user wants to import from this specific format

Instance Method Details

#each ⇒ Object

The main method of the parser. Should yield each Tracker that has been fully parsed. After calling this method the caller can ask for width and height as well.

# File 'lib/import/base.rb', line 68

def each
end

#report_progress(message) ⇒ Object

Call this method from the inside of your importer to tell what you are doing. This gets propagated to the caller automatically, or gets ignored if the caller did not request any progress reports
