Detailed Description

Superclass for OpenIGTLink clients.

Implements the IGTLDevice interface for IGTLClients. In certain points it behaves different than the IGTLServer. The client connects directly to a server (it cannot connect to two different servers). Therefore, it has to check only this one connection.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Clone()

Pointer mitk::IGTLClient::Clone ( ) const

◆ GetNumberOfConnections()

unsigned int mitk::IGTLClient::GetNumberOfConnections ( )
overridevirtual

Returns the number of connections of this device.

A client can connect to one sever only, therefore, the number is either 0 or 1

Implements mitk::IGTLDevice.

◆ mitkClassMacro()

mitk::IGTLClient::mitkClassMacro ( IGTLClient  ,
IGTLDevice   
)

◆ mitkNewMacro1Param()

mitk::IGTLClient::mitkNewMacro1Param ( Self  ,
bool   
)

◆ OpenConnection()

bool mitk::IGTLClient::OpenConnection ( )
overridevirtual

Establishes the connection between this client and the IGTL server.

Exceptions
mitk::ExceptionThrows an exception if the client is not in Setup mode or if it cannot connect to the defined host.

Implements mitk::IGTLDevice.

◆ Receive()

void mitk::IGTLClient::Receive ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Call this method to receive a message.

The message will be saved in the receive queue. If the connection is lost it will stop the communication.

Implements mitk::IGTLDevice.

◆ Send()

void mitk::IGTLClient::Send ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Call this method to send a message.

The message will be read from the queue.

Implements mitk::IGTLDevice.

◆ StopCommunicationWithSocket()

void mitk::IGTLClient::StopCommunicationWithSocket ( igtl::Socket *  )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Stops the communication with the given socket.

The client uses just one socket. Therefore, calling this function causes the stop of the communication.

Implements mitk::IGTLDevice.
