class Writer  from IGESControl

    	---Purpose : This class creates and writes
    	-- IGES files from CAS.CADE models. An IGES file can be written to
    	-- an existing IGES file or to a new one.
    	-- The translation can be performed in one or several
    	-- operations. Each translation operation
    	-- outputs a distinct root entity in the IGES file.
    	--   To write an IGES file it is possible to use the following sequence:
    	-- To modify the IGES file header or to change translation
    	-- parameters it is necessary to use class Interface_Static (see
    	-- IGESParameters and GeneralParameters).

uses CString, OStream, Transient,     Shape from TopoDS,
     FinderProcess, BasicEditor from IGESData, IGESModel, IGESEntity

is

    Create returns Writer;
    	---Purpose : Creates a writer object with the
    	-- default unit (millimeters) and write mode (Face).
    	-- IGESControl_Writer (const Standard_CString unit,
    	-- const Standard_Integer modecr = 0);

    Create (unit : CString; modecr : Integer = 0) returns Writer;
    	---Purpose : Creates a writer with given
    	-- values for units and for write mode.
    	-- unit may be any unit that is accepted by the IGES standard.
    	-- By default, it is the millimeter.
    	-- modecr defines the write mode and may be:
    	-- - 0: Faces (default)
    	-- - 1: BRep.

    Create (model : mutable IGESModel; modecr : Integer = 0) returns Writer;
    	---Purpose : Creates a writer object with the
    	-- prepared IGES model model in write mode.
    	-- modecr defines the write mode and may be:
    	-- - 0: Faces (default)
    	-- - 1: BRep.

    Model (me) returns IGESModel;
    	---Purpose : Returns the IGES model to be written in output.

    TransferProcess    (me) returns mutable FinderProcess;
    SetTransferProcess (me : in out; TP : mutable FinderProcess);
    	---Purpose : Returns/Sets the TransferProcess : it contains final results
    	--           and if some, check messages

    AddShape (me : in out; sh : Shape) returns Boolean;
    	---Purpose : Translates a Shape to IGES Entities and adds them to the model
    	--           Returns True if done, False if Shape not suitable for IGES or null

    AddGeom  (me : in out; geom : Transient) returns Boolean;
    	---Purpose : Translates a Geometry (Surface or Curve) to IGES Entities and
    	--           adds them to the model
    	--           Returns True if done, False if geom is neither a Surface or
    	--           a Curve suitable for IGES or is null

    AddEntity (me : in out; ent : IGESEntity) returns Boolean;
    	---Purpose : Adds an IGES entity (and the ones it references) to the model

    ComputeModel (me : in out);
    	---Purpose : Computes the entities found in
    	-- the model, which is ready to be written.
    	-- This contrasts with the default computation of headers only.

    Write (me : in out; S : in out OStream; fnes : Boolean = Standard_False)
    	returns Boolean;
    	---Purpose : Computes then writes the model to an OStream
    	--           Returns True when done, false in case of error

    Write (me : in out; file : CString; fnes : Boolean = Standard_False)
    	returns Boolean;
    	---Purpose : Prepares and writes an IGES model
    	-- either to an OStream, S or to a file name,CString.
    	-- Returns True if the operation was performed correctly and 
    	-- False if an error occurred (for instance,
    	-- if the processor could not create the file).

    PrintStatsTransfer (me; what : Integer; mode : Integer = 0);
    	---Purpose : Prints Statistics about Transfer
