## Detailed Description

The DataType class is a description of how an element of a sample in a Scalar or an Array property is stored. It does not contain an interpretation this is left to the metadata of the properties themselves.

Definition at line 50 of file DataType.h.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## DataType() [1/2]

Alembic::AbcCoreAbstract::ALEMBIC_VERSION_NS::DataType::DataType | ( |  | ) |

inline

Default constructor Sets the DataType to an unknown DataType with extent 0. This is obviously an invalid storage description, and is used in cases where we need to indicated that a DataType could not be determined.

Definition at line 59 of file DataType.h.

Referenced by operator<(), and operator==().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

## DataType() [2/2]

Alembic::AbcCoreAbstract::ALEMBIC_VERSION_NS::DataType::DataType | ( | PlainOldDataType | iPod,
|  | uint8_t | iExtent = 1 )

inline explicit

Explicit constructor. Takes a pod and an extent. By default the extent is 1. For String and Wstring types, the extent must be 1.

Definition at line 66 of file DataType.h.

## Member Function Documentation

## getExtent()

uint8_t Alembic::AbcCoreAbstract::ALEMBIC_VERSION_NS::DataType::getExtent | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Return the 8-bit extent ...

Here is the caller graph for this function:

## getNumBytes()

size_t Alembic::AbcCoreAbstract::ALEMBIC_VERSION_NS::DataType::getNumBytes | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Returns the number of bytes occupied by a single datum. (element) The assumption that each element has a fixed size in memory is a core assumption in Alembic.

String DataTypes are a troublesome problem. A single string datum does not have a fixed number of bytes associated with it. So we are returning, here, the size of the std::string and std::wstring datatypes, respectively.

Definition at line 96 of file DataType.h.

## getPod()

PlainOldDataType Alembic::AbcCoreAbstract::ALEMBIC_VERSION_NS::DataType::getPod | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Default copy constructor used. Default assignment operator used.

Return the PlainOldDataType enum ...

Definition at line 74 of file DataType.h.

Referenced by Alembic::AbcCoreAbstract::ALEMBIC_VERSION_NS::operator<<().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

## operator<()

bool Alembic::AbcCoreAbstract::ALEMBIC_VERSION_NS::DataType::operator< | ( | const DataType & | b | ) | const

inline

Returns whether one datatype is lexigraphically "less" than another - this has meaning only so that DataType instances can be meaningfully sorted.

## operator==()
