vtkObjectFactory Class Reference
#include <vtkObjectFactory.h>
Detailed Description
abstract base class for vtkObjectFactoriesvtkObjectFactory is used to create vtk objects. The base class vtkObjectFactory contains a static method CreateInstance which is used to create vtk objects from the list of registered vtkObjectFactory sub-classes. The first time CreateInstance is called, all dll's or shared libraries in the environment variable VTK_AUTOLOAD_PATH are loaded into the current process. The C functions vtkLoad, vtkGetFactoryCompilerUsed, and vtkGetFactoryVersion are called on each dll. To implement these functions in a shared library or dll, use the macro: VTK_FACTORY_INTERFACE_IMPLEMENT. VTK_AUTOLOAD_PATH is an environment variable containing a colon separated (semi-colon on win32) list of paths.
The vtkObjectFactory can be use to override the creation of any object in VTK with a sub-class of that object. The factories can be registered either at run time with the VTK_AUTOLOAD_PATH, or at compile time with the vtkObjectFactory::RegisterFactory method.

Member Function Documentation
| static vtkObject* vtkObjectFactory::CreateInstance | ( | const char * | vtkclassname | ) | [static] |
Create and return an instance of the named vtk object. Each loaded vtkObjectFactory will be asked in the order the factory was in the VTK_AUTOLOAD_PATH. After the first factory returns the object no other factories are asked.
| static void vtkObjectFactory::CreateAllInstance | ( | const char * | vtkclassname, | |
| vtkCollection * | retList | |||
| ) | [static] |
Create all possible instances of the named vtk object. Each registered vtkObjectFactory will be asked, and the result will be stored in the user allocated vtkCollection passed in to the function.
| static void vtkObjectFactory::ReHash | ( | ) | [static] |
Create all possible instances of the named vtk object. Each registered vtkObjectFactory will be asked, and the result will be stored in the user allocated vtkCollection passed in to the function.
| static void vtkObjectFactory::RegisterFactory | ( | vtkObjectFactory * | ) | [static] |
Create all possible instances of the named vtk object. Each registered vtkObjectFactory will be asked, and the result will be stored in the user allocated vtkCollection passed in to the function.
| static void vtkObjectFactory::UnRegisterFactory | ( | vtkObjectFactory * | ) | [static] |
Create all possible instances of the named vtk object. Each registered vtkObjectFactory will be asked, and the result will be stored in the user allocated vtkCollection passed in to the function.
| static void vtkObjectFactory::UnRegisterAllFactories | ( | ) | [static] |
Create all possible instances of the named vtk object. Each registered vtkObjectFactory will be asked, and the result will be stored in the user allocated vtkCollection passed in to the function.
| static vtkObjectFactoryCollection* vtkObjectFactory::GetRegisteredFactories | ( | ) | [static] |
Return the list of all registered factories. This is NOT a copy, do not remove items from this list!
| static int vtkObjectFactory::HasOverrideAny | ( | const char * | className | ) | [static] |
return 1 if one of the registered factories overrides the given class name
| static void vtkObjectFactory::GetOverrideInformation | ( | const char * | name, | |
| vtkOverrideInformationCollection * | ||||
| ) | [static] |
Fill the given collection with all the overrides for the class with the given name.
| static void vtkObjectFactory::SetAllEnableFlags | ( | int | flag, | |
| const char * | className | |||
| ) | [static] |
Set the enable flag for a given named class for all registered factories.
| static void vtkObjectFactory::SetAllEnableFlags | ( | int | flag, | |
| const char * | className, | |||
| const char * | subclassName | |||
| ) | [static] |
Set the enable flag for a given named class for all registered factories.
| virtual const char* vtkObjectFactory::GetClassName | ( | ) | [virtual] |
| static int vtkObjectFactory::IsTypeOf | ( | const char * | name | ) | [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 vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.
Reimplemented from vtkObject.
Reimplemented in vtkParallelFactory.
| virtual int vtkObjectFactory::IsA | ( | const char * | name | ) | [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 vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

| static vtkObjectFactory* vtkObjectFactory::SafeDownCast | ( | vtkObject * | o | ) | [static] |
| virtual void vtkObjectFactory::PrintSelf | ( | ostream & | os, | |
| vtkIndent | indent | |||
| ) | [virtual] |
| virtual const char* vtkObjectFactory::GetVTKSourceVersion | ( | ) | [pure 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.
Implemented in vtkParallelFactory.

Return a descriptive string describing the factory.
Implemented in vtkParallelFactory.
