Detailed Description

This class serves as the registrar for file formats.

A file format must be registered when it is used by the FBX SDK.

This class also lets you create and read formats other than FBX SDK native formats. Users of FBX SDK can write their own plug-ins to read or write arbitrary file formats. Once their plug-ins are registered in this class, FBX SDK is able to read or write these file formats.

Each FbxManager has a unique FbxIOPluginRegistry. To get an instance of this class:

 FbxIOPluginRegistry* registry = manager->GetIOPluginRegistry();

FbxManager::GetIOPluginRegistry()

Returns:

True if the file has been determined successfully, returns false otherwise.

Remarks:

This function attempts to detect the specified file's file format based on the file extension and, in some cases, its content. This function may not be able to determine all file formats. Use this function as a helper before calling SetFileFormat().
