Detailed Description
Category properties define a tree-relationship between all properties in a property map.
The root of the tree is always the category property with the name Root
.
To find which properties are linked from a category, use PropCategory::features().
Categories can contain other categories recursively. A very simple category tree might look like this:
Root
(category)AcquisitionControl
(category)AcquisitionStart
(command)AcquisitionStop
(command)AcquisitionFrameRate
(float)
ImageFormatControl
(category)Width
(integer)Height
(integer)
PropCategory instances are created in two ways:
- By converting a property known to be a category property using Property::asCategory()
- By directly querying a typed known property using PropertyMap::findCategory().

Retrieves the list of properties in a property category.
- Parameters
-
[out] err Reference to an error handler. See Error Handling for details.
- Returns
- A
std::vector
containing the properties in this category.
If an error occurred, the function returns an empty vector. Check the err output parameter for details.
