Detailed Description

Superclass for vtkInformation keys.

vtkInformationKey is the superclass for all keys used to access the map represented by vtkInformation. The vtkInformation::Set and vtkInformation::Get methods of vtkInformation are accessed by information keys. A key is a pointer to an instance of a subclass of vtkInformationKey. The type of the subclass determines the overload of Set/Get that is selected. This ensures that the type of value stored in a vtkInformation instance corresponding to a given key matches the type expected for that key.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

vtkInformationKey::vtkInformationKey const char *  name,
const char *  location
 

Key instances are static data that need to be created and destroyed. The constructor and destructor must be public. The name of the static instance and the class in which it is defined should be passed to the constructor. They must be string literals because the strings are not copied.

vtkInformationKey::~vtkInformationKey  ) 
 

Get the location of the key. This is the name of the class in which the key is defined.

void vtkInformationKey::PrintSelf ostream &  os,
vtkIndent  indent
[virtual]
 

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

virtual void vtkInformationKey::UnRegister vtkObjectBase  )  [virtual]
 

Prevent normal vtkObject reference counting behavior.

Reimplemented from vtkObjectBase.

const char* vtkInformationKey::GetName  ) 
 

Get the name of the key. This is not the type of the key, but the name of the key instance.

const char* vtkInformationKey::GetLocation  ) 
 

Get the location of the key. This is the name of the class in which the key is defined.

virtual void vtkInformationKey::ShallowCopy vtkInformation from,
vtkInformation to
