Class Avogadro::Core::Variant#

class Variant#

The Variant class represents a union of data values.

Variant objects allow for the storage of and conversion between a variety of different data types.

Public Types

enum Type#

Values:

enumerator Null#

enumerator Bool#

enumerator Int#

enumerator Long#

enumerator Float#

enumerator Double#

enumerator Pointer#

enumerator String#

enumerator Matrix#

Public Functions

inline Variant()#: Creates a null variant.

template<typename T> inline Variant(T value)#: Creates a variant to store value.

inline Variant(const Variant &variant)#: Creates a new copy of variant.

inline ~Variant()#: Destroys the variant object.

inline Type type() const#: Returns variant’s type.

inline bool isNull() const#: Returns true if the variant is null.

template<typename T> inline bool setValue(T value)#: Sets the value of the variant to value.

template<typename T> inline T value() const#: Returns the value of the variant in the type given by T.

inline void clear()#: Clears the variant’s data and sets the variant to null.

inline bool toBool() const#: Returns the value of the variant as a bool.

inline char toChar() const#: Returns the value of the variant as a char.

inline unsigned char toUChar() const#: Returns the value of the variant as an unsigned char.

inline short toShort() const#: Returns the value of the variant as a short.

inline unsigned short toUShort() const#: Returns the value of the variant as an unsigned short.

inline int toInt() const#: Returns the value of the variant as an int.

inline unsigned int toUInt() const#: Returns the value of the variant as an unsigned int.

inline long toLong() const#: Returns the value of the variant as a long.

inline unsigned long toULong() const#: Returns the value of the variant as an unsigned long.

inline float toFloat() const#: Returns the value of the variant as a float.

inline double toDouble() const#: Returns the value of the variant as a double.

inline Real toReal() const#: Returns the value of the variant as a Real.

inline void *toPointer() const#: Returns the value of the variant as a pointer.

inline std::string toString() const#: Returns the value of the variant as a string.

inline MatrixX toMatrix() const#: Returns the value of the variant as a MatrixX.

inline const MatrixX &toMatrixRef() const#: Returns a reference to the value of the variant as a MatrixX. This method will not perform any casting — if type() is not exactly MatrixX, the function will fail and return a reference to an empty MatrixX.
