Detailed Description

LightProcessObject is the base class for all process objects (source, filters, mappers) in the Insight data processing pipeline.

LightProcessObject is an abstract object that specifies behavior and interface of visualization network process objects (sources, filters, mappers). Source objects are creators of visualization data; filters input, process, and output visualization data; and mappers transform data into another form (like rendering primitives or write data to a file).

A major role of LightProcessObject is to define the inputs and outputs of a filter. More than one input and/or output may exist for a given filter. Some classes (e.g., source objects or mapper objects) will not use inputs (the source) or outputs (mappers). In this case, the inputs or outputs is just ignored.

LightProcessObject invokes the following events: , Command::StartEvent, Command::EndEvent These are convenience events you can use for any purpose (e.g., debugging info, highlighting/notifying user interface, etc.) See Command and LightObject for information on using AddObserver.

Another event Command::ProgressEvent can be observed. Some filters invoke this event periodically during their execution (with the progress, parameter, the fraction of work done). The use is similar to that of StartEvent and EndEvent. Filters may also check their AbortGenerateData flag to determine whether to prematurally end their execution.

An important feature of subclasses of LightProcessObject is that it is possible to control the memory-management model (i.e., retain output versus delete output data). If enabled the ReleaseDataFlag enables the deletion of the output data once the downstream process object finishes processing the data (please see text).

Subclasses of LightProcessObject may override 4 of the methods of this class to control how a given filter may interact with the pipeline (dataflow). These methods are: GenerateOutputInformation(), EnlargeOutputRequestedRegion(), GenerateInputRequestedRegion(), and GenerateOutputRequestedRegion(). By overriding these methods, a filter can deviate from the base assumptions of the pipeline execution model.

Turn on and off the AbortGenerateData flag.

virtual::itk::LightObject::Pointer itk::LightProcessObject::CreateAnother ( void ) const

virtual

Create an object from an instance, potentially deferring to a factory. This method allows you to create an instance of an object that is exactly the same type as the referring object. This is useful in cases where an object has been cast back to a base class.
