update k4a c++ functions to support function chaining #1514
Description
I request all possible k4a C++ functions be updated to support function chaining.
In general this means all possible functions do not return void. Instead, they return references to their own class.
For example
void set_timestamp(std::chrono::microseconds timestamp); // old
k4a::image& set_timestamp(std::chrono::microseconds timestamp); // new
void set_depth_image(const image &depth_image); // old
k4a::capture& set_depth_image(const image &depth_image); // new
// this enables function chaining...
k4a::capture capture;
k4a::image image;
image.set_timestamp(1234).set_exposure_time(7500);
capture.set_depth_image(image).set_color_image(image).set_temperature_c(30.2);The sdk code changes are trivial. For example...
// existing SDK 1.4.1 code
void set_temperature_c(float temperature_c) noexcept
{
k4a_capture_set_temperature_c(m_handle, temperature_c);
}
// new code
k4a::image& set_temperature_c(float temperature_c) noexcept
{
k4a_capture_set_temperature_c(m_handle, temperature_c);
return *this;
}
