Detailed Description

Object Factory for Kitware patented objects.

Date:

2000/12/10 20:09:16

Revision:

1.7

This is an object factory used to create Kitware patented objects. There is a KitwareFactory.dsp and KitwareFactory.dsw file to create the factory dll with the microsoft compiler. Once the Factory is created, put the resulting dll in VTK_AUTOLOAD_PATH.

Member Function Documentation

vtkKitwareObjectFactory* vtkKitwareObjectFactory::New (    )  [inline, static]

Create an object with Debug turned off, modified time initialized to zero, and reference counting on. Reimplemented from vtkObject. Definition at line 61 of file vtkKitwareObjectFactory.h.

virtual const char* vtkKitwareObjectFactory::GetClassName (    )  [virtual]

Return the class name as a string. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkObjectFactory.

int vtkKitwareObjectFactory::IsTypeOf (  const char *    type )  [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkObjectFactory.

virtual int vtkKitwareObjectFactory::IsA (  const char *    type )  [virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkObjectFactory.

vtkKitwareObjectFactory* vtkKitwareObjectFactory::SafeDownCast (  vtkObject *    o )  [static]

Will cast the supplied object to vtkObject* is this is a safe operation (i.e., a safe downcast); otherwise NULL is returned. This method is defined in all subclasses of vtkObject with the vtkTypeMacro found in vtkSetGet.h. Reimplemented from vtkObjectFactory.

void vtkKitwareObjectFactory::PrintSelf (  ostream &    os, vtkIndent    indent )  [virtual]

Print ObjectFactor to stream. Reimplemented from vtkObjectFactory.

virtual const char* vtkKitwareObjectFactory::GetVTKSourceVersion (    )  [virtual]

All sub-classes of vtkObjectFactory should must return the version of VTK they were built with. This should be implemented with the macro VTK_SOURCE_VERSION and NOT a call to vtkVersion::GetVTKSourceVersion. As the version needs to be compiled into the file as a string constant. This is critical to determine possible incompatible dynamic factory loads. Reimplemented from vtkObjectFactory.

virtual vtkObject* vtkKitwareObjectFactory::CreateObject (  const char *    vtkclassname )  [protected, virtual]

This method is provided by sub-classes of vtkObjectFactory. It should create the named vtk object or return 0 if that object is not supported by the factory implementation. Reimplemented from vtkObjectFactory.
