Detailed Description

template<class T>
class itk::ObjectFactory< T >

Create instances of a class.

ObjectFactory is a helper class used to created instances of a class. Object factories are used for instantiation because they allow run-time replacement of a class with a user-supplied version. For example, if you wished to replace an algorithm with your own custom version, or with a hardware-accelerated version, ObjectFactory can be used to do this.

This implementation of the object factory is templated and uses RTTI (Run-Time Type Information) to create the name of the class it is to instantiate. (The name may include template type parameters, depending on the class definition.)
