Detailed Description

Generic options object to manipulate system settings.

This module provides methods to interact and manipulate parameters and options generic way. Once a reme_options_t is created it is empty, as it does not represent any specific options. In order to manipulate specific options, you need to bind it to a specific options using a specific function that usually carries bind in its function name. The page Options Bindings lists all known binders. Each binder documents the available parameters in the method's detail section using Google Protocol Buffer format.

Once the options object is bound, it directly manipulates the bound options. You can query values using reme_options_get, manipulate values using reme_options_set, or export/import options from and to files using reme_options_save_to_file and reme_options_load_from_file.

See Accessing and Modifying Options for more details and examples.

Typedef Documentation

reme_options_t

typedef int reme_options_t

Handle referencing an options object.

A reme_options_t references a specific options class. Internally ReconstructMe SDK uses Google's protocol buffers to represent options and parameters. Protocol buffers a language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data.

In order to manipulate these protocol buffer options you have two options:

• use the lazy dynamic interface and manipulate variables through a reflection like mechanism.

  See also

  reme_options_set

  reme_options_get

• use the typesafe interface and generate a structure from the protobuf specification file using the protobuf compiler. Interact with this class and pass ReconstructMe SDK a serialized string to its content.

reme_options_clear()

reme_error_t reme_options_clear	(	reme_context_t	c,

Clear options.

Clearing option values means to reset them into an empty state. If you retrieve a value from an empty field, the fields default value (see associated .proto file) will be returned. When the field does not have any default value assigned, an error will be returned.

Clearing is useful when one wants to introduce an optional state. For example, reme_sensor_apply_capture_options will only apply those capture options that are not empty. Take note that by default the bound capture options, i.e reme_sensor_bind_capture_options will contain the current set values. Therefore, clear those options before setting individual option values.

Parameters

c	A valid context object
o	A valid options object

Return values

REME_ERROR_SUCCESS	On success
REME_ERROR_UNSPECIFIED	On failure

Examples:

example_reconstructmesdk_error_handling.cpp, example_reconstructmesdk_scan_tilt.cpp, and example_reconstructmesdk_sensor.cpp.
