◆ Load()

BOARD * PCB_IO_MGR::Load ( PCB_FILE_T  aFileType,
const wxString &  aFileName,
BOARD aAppendToMe = nullptr,
const STRING_UTF8_MAP aProperties = nullptr,
PROJECT aProject = nullptr,
PROGRESS_REPORTER aProgressReporter = nullptr 
)
static

Find the requested #PLUGIN and if found, calls the #PLUGIN::LoadBoard() function on it using the arguments passed to this function.

After the #PLUGIN::LoadBoard() function returns, the #PLUGIN is Released() as part of this call.

Parameters
aFileTypeis the PCB_FILE_T of file to load.
aFileNameis the name of the file to load.
aAppendToMeis an existing BOARD to append to, use NULL if fresh board load is wanted.
aPropertiesis an associative array that allows the caller to pass additional tuning parameters to the PLUGIN.
aProjectis the optional PROJECT object primarily used by third party importers.
Returns
the loaded BOARD object. The caller owns it an it will never NULL because exception thrown if error.
Exceptions
IO_ERRORif the #PLUGIN cannot be found, file cannot be found, or file cannot be loaded.

◆ Save()

void PCB_IO_MGR::Save ( PCB_FILE_T  aFileType,
const wxString &  aFileName,
BOARD aBoard,
const STRING_UTF8_MAP aProperties = nullptr 
)
static

Write either a full aBoard to a storage file in a format that this implementation knows about, or it can be used to write a portion ofaBoard to a special kind of export file.

Parameters
aFileTypeis the PCB_FILE_T of file to save.
aFileNameis the name of a file to save to on disk.
aBoardis the BOARD document (data tree) to save or export to disk.
aBoardis the in memory document tree from which to extract information when writing to aFileName. The caller continues to own the BOARD, and the plugin should refrain from modifying the BOARD if possible.
aPropertiesis an associative array that can be used to tell the saver how to save the file, because it can take any number of additional named tuning arguments that the plugin is known to support. The caller continues to own this object (plugin may not delete it), and plugins should expect it to be optionally NULL.
Exceptions
IO_ERRORif there is a problem saving or exporting.
