itk::EventObject Class Reference

#include <itkEventObject.h>

Detailed Description

Abstraction of the Events used to communicating among filters and with GUIs.

EventObject provides a standard coding for sending and receiving messages indicating things like the initiation of processes, end of processes, modification of filters.

EventObjects form a hierarchy similar to the itk::ExceptionObject allowing to factorize common events in a tree-like structure. Higher detail can be assigned by users by subclassing existing itk::EventObjects.

EventObjects are used by itk::Command and itk::Object for implementing the Observer/Subject design pattern. Observers register their interest in particular kinds of events produced by a specific itk::Object. This mechanism decouples classes among them.

As opposed to itk::Exception, itk::EventObject does not represent error states, but simply flow of information allowing to trigger actions as a consequence of changes occurring in state on some itk::Objects.

itk::EventObject carries information in its own type, it relies on the appropriate use of the RTTI (Run Time Type Information).

A set of standard EventObjects is defined near the end of itkEventObject.h.
