outputdriver

An output driver defines how an image is transferred to an output destination. The destination could be a file (e.g. “exr” output driver), frame buffer or a memory address. It can be connected to the outputdrivers attribute of an output layer node. It has the following attributes:

NameTypeDefault
drivernamestring

This is the name of the driver to use. The API of the driver is implementation specific and is not covered by this documentation.

NameTypeDefault
imagefilenamestring

Full path to a file for a file-based output driver or some meaningful identifier depending on the output driver.

NameTypeDefault
embedstatisticsint1

A value of 1 specifies that statistics will be embedded into the image file.

Any extra attributes are also forwarded to the output driver which may interpret them however it wishes.
