Initialize smart pointer to NULL. Definition at line 35 of file vtkSmartPointer.h.

template<class T> vtkSmartPointer< T >::vtkSmartPointer (  T *  r  )  [inline]

Member Function Documentation

template<class T> vtkSmartPointer& vtkSmartPointer< T >::operator= (  T *  r  )  [inline]

Assign object to reference. This removes any reference to an old object. Definition at line 47 of file vtkSmartPointer.h. References vtkSmartPointerBase::operator=().

template<class T> vtkSmartPointer& vtkSmartPointer< T >::operator= (  const vtkSmartPointerBase &  r  )  [inline]

Assign object to reference. This removes any reference to an old object. Reimplemented from vtkSmartPointerBase. Definition at line 57 of file vtkSmartPointer.h. References vtkSmartPointerBase::operator=().

template<class T> T* vtkSmartPointer< T >::GetPointer (   )  const [inline]

Get the contained pointer. Reimplemented from vtkSmartPointerBase. Definition at line 66 of file vtkSmartPointer.h. References vtkSmartPointerBase::Object.

template<class T> vtkSmartPointer< T >::operator T * (   )  const [inline]

Get the contained pointer. Definition at line 74 of file vtkSmartPointer.h. References vtkSmartPointerBase::Object.

template<class T> T& vtkSmartPointer< T >::operator * (   )  const [inline]

Dereference the pointer and return a reference to the contained object. Definition at line 83 of file vtkSmartPointer.h. References vtkSmartPointerBase::Object.

template<class T> T* vtkSmartPointer< T >::operator-> (   )  const [inline]

Provides normal pointer target member access using operator ->. Definition at line 91 of file vtkSmartPointer.h. References vtkSmartPointerBase::Object.

template<class T> void vtkSmartPointer< T >::TakeReference (  T *  t  )  [inline]

Transfer ownership of one reference to the given VTK object to this smart pointer. This does not increment the reference count of the object, but will decrement it later. The caller is effectively passing ownership of one reference to the smart pointer. This is useful for code like: vtkSmartPointer<vtkFoo> foo; foo.TakeReference(bar->NewFoo()); The input argument may not be another smart pointer. Definition at line 105 of file vtkSmartPointer.h.

template<class T> static vtkSmartPointer<T> vtkSmartPointer< T >::New (   )  [inline, static]

Create an instance of a VTK object. Definition at line 113 of file vtkSmartPointer.h.

template<class T> static vtkSmartPointer<T> vtkSmartPointer< T >::NewInstance (  T *  t  )  [inline, static]

Create a new instance of the given VTK object. Definition at line 121 of file vtkSmartPointer.h.

template<class T> static vtkSmartPointer<T> vtkSmartPointer< T >::Take (  T *  t  )  [inline, static]

Transfer ownership of one reference to the given VTK object to a new smart pointer. The returned smart pointer does not increment the reference count of the object on construction but will decrement it on destruction. The caller is effectively passing ownership of one reference to the smart pointer. This is useful for code like: vtkSmartPointer<vtkFoo> foo = vtkSmartPointer<vtkFoo>::Take(bar->NewFoo()); The input argument may not be another smart pointer.
