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.

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.

Member Function Documentation

static int vtkInformationKey::IsTypeOf ( const char *  name) [static]
virtual int vtkInformationKey::IsA ( const char *  name) [virtual]
virtual vtkObjectBase* vtkInformationKey::NewInstanceInternal ( ) const [protected, virtual]
void vtkInformationKey::PrintSelf ( ostream &  os,
vtkIndent  indent 
) [virtual]
virtual void vtkInformationKey::Register ( vtkObjectBase ) [virtual]

Prevent normal vtkObject reference counting behavior.

Reimplemented from vtkObjectBase.

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.

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 
) [pure virtual]
virtual void vtkInformationKey::DeepCopy ( vtkInformation from,
vtkInformation to 
) [inline, virtual]

Duplicate (new instance created) the entry associated with this key from one information object to another (new instances of any contained vtkInformation and vtkInformationVector objects are created). Default implementation simply calls ShallowCopy().

Reimplemented in vtkInformationQuadratureSchemeDefinitionVectorKey, vtkInformationInformationVectorKey, and vtkInformationInformationKey.

Definition at line 77 of file vtkInformationKey.h.

virtual int vtkInformationKey::Has ( vtkInformation info) [virtual]

Check whether this key appears in the given information object.

Reimplemented in vtkInformationRequestKey.

virtual void vtkInformationKey::Remove ( vtkInformation info) [virtual]

Remove this key from the given information object.

Reimplemented in vtkInformationExecutivePortVectorKey, and vtkInformationRequestKey.

virtual void vtkInformationKey::Report ( vtkInformation info,
vtkGarbageCollector collector 
) [virtual]

Print the key's value in an information object to a stream.

vtkInformation info 
) [virtual]
void vtkInformationKey::SetAsObjectBase ( vtkInformation info,
vtkObjectBase value
