IgesFile Class Reference

Detailed Description

Main interface to IGES files.

This class is employed both to import existing IGES 5.3 files and to assemble compliant files from geometry objects. Note that each object to be written to file generates a directory entry (IgesDirEntry) and a block of parameter data (IgesEntity).
