Detailed Description

template<class T>
class itk::fem::FEMObjectFactory< T >

Create objects of derived classes by specifying a class ID.

ObjectFactory is used to create various objects of derived classes by specifying an ID of a derived class. Before the objects can be created by object factory, you should first call the Register method for each class:

int ID_Derived=FEMObjectFactory<BaseClass>.Register( NewDerivedClass, "NewDerivedClassName" );

You should also put the NewDerivedClass function in an anonymous namespace and make it static. So a complete registration of a derived class looks like:

Member Function Documentation

template<class T>
int itk::fem::FEMObjectFactory< T >::ClassName2ID StrClassName    str [inline, static]
 

Find the ID of the class with specified name (this is a slow function). If you have to create many objects of the same class, obtain the class ID with this function first and then use that ID with the Create member function.

Definition at line 127 of file itkFEMObjectFactory.h.

template<class T>
T::Pointer itk::fem::FEMObjectFactory< T >::Create int    id [inline, static]
 

Create a new object based on class identifier id and return a pointer to it.

Definition at line 91 of file itkFEMObjectFactory.h.

template<class T>
StrClassName itk::fem::FEMObjectFactory< T >::ID2ClassName int    id [inline, static]
 

Return the name of the class (as a string) for the given ID.

Definition at line 116 of file itkFEMObjectFactory.h.

template<class T>
int itk::fem::FEMObjectFactory< T >::Register COF    f,
const char *    str
[inline, static]
 

Register the class with the factory. A pointer to a 'create' function and class name as a string must be provided. Function returns the newly assigned ID of the class, which can be later used to create objects of that class.
