Detailed Description
--------------------


   
   Abstract camera solve exporter class. Inherit the class to create own exporter formats.
   Method do_export must be overloaded.
   


.. class:: AbstractCameraSolveExporter(name, extension[, number_of_data_streams=1[, export_multiple_views=false]])


   :type name: unicode
   :type extension: unicode
   :type number_of_data_streams: :class:`PySide2.QtCore.uint`
   :type export_multiple_views: :class:`PySide2.QtCore.bool`



   
   :param name: name of the exporter which will be displayed in the Export Camera Data dialog drop-down list. Should contain a file mask in brackets e.g. Foo (*.bar)
   :param extension: additional extension.
   :param number_of_data_streams: number of result files. If it equals to 1 then the Copy to Clipboard button will be enabled.
   :param export_multiple_views: whether the exporter supports multiple views.
   
   Create an exporter instance. The instance ownership is delegated to Python. To register the exporter inside
   mocha exporters system, call `register()` method. Before deleting the object unregisters itself.
   




   :type number_of_data_streams: :class:`PySide2.QtCore.uint`
   :type extension: unicode
   :type name: unicode
   :type export_multiple_views: :class:`PySide2.QtCore.bool`


.. method:: AbstractCameraSolveExporter.do_export(project, layers, camera_file_path, time, views)


   :type project: :class:`mocha.project.Project`
   :type layers: list of Layer
   :type camera_file_path: unicode
   :type time: :class:`PySide2.QtCore.double`
   :type views: list of View
   :rtype: Dictionary with keys of type QString and values of type QByteArray.



   
   :param project: mocha project instance.
   :param layers: list of layers to export.
   :param camera_file_path: absolute file path to save which has been chosen by a user in a file dialog.
   :param time: frame index.
   :param views: list of views to export.
   
   :rtype: dict of {file_name: QByteArray}
   
   Performs main exporter operations. Must return a map (``dict``) of absolute file path and appropriate contents.
   The exporter should not create those files.
   



.. method:: AbstractCameraSolveExporter.error_string()


   :rtype: unicode






.. method:: AbstractCameraSolveExporter.register()





   
   Registers the exporter instance inside mocha exporters system.
   



.. staticmethod:: AbstractCameraSolveExporter.registered_exporters()


   :rtype: Dictionary with keys of type QString and values of type CameraSolveExporter.



   
   :rtype: ``dict`` of {``str``: :class:`CameraSolveExporter`}
   
   Returns a dict of registered exporters including custom user exporters.
   



.. method:: AbstractCameraSolveExporter.unregister()





   
   Unregisters the exporter instance inside mocha exporters system.
   



.. attribute:: AbstractCameraSolveExporter.exports_multiple_views


   :type: bool
   :access: read-only   
   Whether the exporter supports multiple views.
   



.. attribute:: AbstractCameraSolveExporter.registered


   :type: bool
   :access: read-only   
   Whether the exporter registered.
