|  | StringArray | fileExtensions )

protected

Creates an AudioFormat object.

Parameters

  formatName | this sets the value that will be returned by getFormatName()
  fileExtensions | an array of file extensions - these will be returned by getFileExtensions()

Definition at line 29 of file juce_AudioFormat.cpp.

Referenced by juce::AiffAudioFormat::AiffAudioFormat(), createWriterFor(), and juce::WavAudioFormat::WavAudioFormat().

## AudioFormat() [2/2]

juce::AudioFormat::AudioFormat | ( | StringRef | formatName,
|  | StringRef | fileExtensions )

protected

Creates an AudioFormat object.

## Member Function Documentation

## canDoMono()

virtual bool juce::AudioFormat::canDoMono | ( |  | ) |

pure virtual

Returns true if the format can do 1-channel audio.

Implemented in juce::AiffAudioFormat, and juce::WavAudioFormat.

Referenced by isChannelLayoutSupported().

## canDoStereo()

virtual bool juce::AudioFormat::canDoStereo | ( |  | ) |

pure virtual

Returns true if the format can do 2-channel audio.

Implemented in juce::AiffAudioFormat, and juce::WavAudioFormat.

Referenced by isChannelLayoutSupported().

## canHandleFile()

bool juce::AudioFormat::canHandleFile | ( | const File & | fileToTest | ) |

virtual

Returns true if this the given file can be read by this format. Subclasses shouldn't do too much work here, just check the extension or file type. The base class implementation just checks the file's extension against one of the ones that was registered in the constructor.

Definition at line 43 of file juce_AudioFormat.cpp.

## createMemoryMappedReader() [1/2]

MemoryMappedAudioFormatReader * juce::AudioFormat::createMemoryMappedReader | ( | const File & | file | ) |

virtual

Attempts to create a MemoryMappedAudioFormatReader, if possible for this format. If the format does not support this, the method will return nullptr;

Reimplemented in juce::AiffAudioFormat, and juce::WavAudioFormat.

Definition at line 57 of file juce_AudioFormat.cpp.

Referenced by createReaderFor().

## createMemoryMappedReader() [2/2]

MemoryMappedAudioFormatReader * juce::AudioFormat::createMemoryMappedReader | ( | FileInputStream * | fin | ) |

virtual

Definition at line 62 of file juce_AudioFormat.cpp.

## createReaderFor()

virtual AudioFormatReader * juce::AudioFormat::createReaderFor | ( | InputStream * | sourceStream,
|  | bool | deleteStreamIfOpeningFails )

pure virtual

Tries to create an object that can read from a stream containing audio data in this format.

The reader object that is returned can be used to read from the stream, and should then be deleted by the caller.

Parameters

  sourceStream | the stream to read from - the AudioFormatReader object that is returned will delete this stream when it no longer needs it.
  deleteStreamIfOpeningFails | if no reader can be created, this determines whether this method should delete the stream object that was passed-in. (If a valid reader is returned, it will always be in charge of deleting the stream, so this parameter is ignored)

  AudioFormatReader

Implemented in juce::AiffAudioFormat, and juce::WavAudioFormat.

## createWriterFor() [1/2]

AudioFormatWriter * juce::AudioFormat::createWriterFor | ( | OutputStream * | streamToWriteTo,
|  | double | sampleRateToUse,
|  | const AudioChannelSet & | channelLayout,
|  | int | bitsPerSample,
|  | const StringPairArray & | metadataValues,
|  | int | qualityOptionIndex )

virtual

Tries to create an object that can write to a stream with this audio format.

The writer object that is returned can be used to write to the stream, and should then be deleted by the caller.

If the stream can't be created for some reason (e.g. the parameters passed in here aren't suitable), this will return nullptr.

Parameters

  streamToWriteTo | the stream that the data will go to - this will be deleted by the AudioFormatWriter object when it's no longer needed. If no AudioFormatWriter can be created by this method, the stream will NOT be deleted, so that the caller can re-use it to try to open a different format, etc
  sampleRateToUse | the sample rate for the file, which must be one of the ones returned by getPossibleSampleRates()
  channelLayout | the channel layout for the file. Use isChannelLayoutSupported to check if the writer supports this layout.
  bitsPerSample | the bits per sample to use - this must be one of the values returned by getPossibleBitDepths()
  metadataValues | a set of metadata values that the writer should try to write to the stream. Exactly what these are depends on the format, and the subclass doesn't actually have to do anything with them if it doesn't want to. Have a look at the specific format implementation classes to see possible values that can be used
  qualityOptionIndex | the index of one of compression qualities returned by the getQualityOptions() method. If there aren't any quality options for this format, just pass 0 in this parameter, as it'll be ignored

  AudioFormatWriter

Reimplemented in juce::AiffAudioFormat, and juce::WavAudioFormat.

Definition at line 76 of file juce_AudioFormat.cpp.

## createWriterFor() [2/2]

virtual AudioFormatWriter * juce::AudioFormat::createWriterFor | ( | OutputStream * | streamToWriteTo,
|  | double | sampleRateToUse,
|  | unsigned int | numberOfChannels,
|  | int | bitsPerSample,
|  | const StringPairArray & | metadataValues,
|  | int | qualityOptionIndex )

pure virtual

Tries to create an object that can write to a stream with this audio format.

The writer object that is returned can be used to write to the stream, and should then be deleted by the caller.

If the stream can't be created for some reason (e.g. the parameters passed in here aren't suitable), this will return nullptr.

Parameters

  streamToWriteTo | the stream that the data will go to - this will be deleted by the AudioFormatWriter object when it's no longer needed. If no AudioFormatWriter can be created by this method, the stream will NOT be deleted, so that the caller can re-use it to try to open a different format, etc
  sampleRateToUse | the sample rate for the file, which must be one of the ones returned by getPossibleSampleRates()
  numberOfChannels | the number of channels
  bitsPerSample | the bits per sample to use - this must be one of the values returned by getPossibleBitDepths()
  metadataValues | a set of metadata values that the writer should try to write to the stream. Exactly what these are depends on the format, and the subclass doesn't actually have to do anything with them if it doesn't want to. Have a look at the specific format implementation classes to see possible values that can be used
  qualityOptionIndex | the index of one of compression qualities returned by the getQualityOptions() method. If there aren't any quality options for this format, just pass 0 in this parameter, as it'll be ignored

## getFileExtensions()

StringArray juce::AudioFormat::getFileExtensions | ( |  | ) | const

virtual

Returns all the file extensions that might apply to a file of this format. The first item will be the one that's preferred when creating a new file. So for a wav file this might just return ".wav"; for an AIFF file it might return two items, ".aif" and ".aiff"

## getFormatName()

const String & juce::AudioFormat::getFormatName | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the name of this format. e.g. "WAV file" or "AIFF file"

## getPossibleBitDepths()

virtual Array< int > juce::AudioFormat::getPossibleBitDepths | ( |  | ) |

pure virtual

Returns a set of bit depths that the format can read and write.

Implemented in juce::AiffAudioFormat, and juce::WavAudioFormat.

## getPossibleSampleRates()

virtual Array< int > juce::AudioFormat::getPossibleSampleRates | ( |  | ) |

pure virtual

Returns a set of sample rates that the format can read and write.

Implemented in juce::AiffAudioFormat, and juce::WavAudioFormat.

## getQualityOptions()

StringArray juce::AudioFormat::getQualityOptions | ( |  | ) |

virtual

Returns a list of different qualities that can be used when writing.

Non-compressed formats will just return an empty array, but for something like Ogg-Vorbis or MP3, it might return a list of bit-rates, etc.

When calling createWriterFor(), an index from this array is passed in to tell the format which option is required.

## isChannelLayoutSupported()

bool juce::AudioFormat::isChannelLayoutSupported | ( | const AudioChannelSet & | channelSet | ) |

virtual

Returns true if the channel layout is supported by this format.

Reimplemented in juce::WavAudioFormat.
