class PipelineSerializer
  Methods
 | Method | Description | 
|---|
 | GetClass | Get the name of the PipelineSerializer class. | 
 | IsA | Returns true if PipelineSerializer is a or is a descendant of the class named as the type parameter. | 
 | IsNull | Returns true if the PipelineSerializer object is invalid. | 
 | LoadPipelineFromFile | Load the pipeline definition to the given file and create a pipeline object as defined in this file, including settings. | 
 | SavePipelineToFile | Save the pipeline definition and settings to the given file, which can be used to restore the pipeline through the LoadPipelineFromFile method. Note that pipeline files are NOT meant for storage, only as a transient transfer format between processes and hosts. Do NOT store pipeline files for later use, as there is no guarantee that pipeline files will be compatible between different versions of Simplygon. | 
  Static methods
 | Method | Description | 
|---|
 | IsClassA | Returns true if the class is a or is a descendant of the class named as the type parameter. | 
 | SafeCast | SafeCast makes sure the input object is of a class that can be cast into spPipelineSerializer, and if this is the case, returns the object cast into spPipelineSerializer. |
