Detailed Description

Create instances of classes using an object factory.

ObjectFactoryBase is used to create itk objects. The base class ObjectFactoryBase contains a static method CreateInstance() that is used to create itk objects from the list of registerd ObjectFactoryBase sub-classes. The first time CreateInstance() is called, all dll's or shared libraries in the environment variable ITK_AUTOLOAD_PATH are loaded into the current process. The C function itkLoad is called on each dll. itkLoad should return an instance of the factory sub-class implemented in the shared library. ITK_AUTOLOAD_PATH is an environment variable containing a colon separated (semi-colon on win32) list of paths.

This can be use to overide the creation of any object in ITK.

Member Function Documentation

static std::list< LightObject::Pointer > itk::ObjectFactoryBase::CreateAllInstance ( const char * itkclassname )

static

Create and return all possible instances of the named itk object. Each loaded ObjectFactoryBase will be asked in the order the factory was in the ITK_AUTOLOAD_PATH. All created objects will be returned in the list.

Examples:: SphinxExamples/src/IO/ImageBase/RegisterIOFactories/Code.cxx.

virtual std::list< LightObject::Pointer > itk::ObjectFactoryBase::CreateAllObject ( const char * itkclassname )

protectedvirtual

This method creates all the objects with the class overide of itkclass name, which are provide by this object

static LightObject::Pointer itk::ObjectFactoryBase::CreateInstance ( const char * itkclassname )

static

Create and return an instance of the named itk object. Each loaded ObjectFactoryBase will be asked in the order the factory was in the ITK_AUTOLOAD_PATH. After the first factory returns the object no other factories are asked.

Referenced by itk::ObjectFactory< T >::Create().

virtual LightObject::Pointer itk::ObjectFactoryBase::CreateObject ( const char * itkclassname )

protectedvirtual

This method is provided by sub-classes of ObjectFactoryBase. It should create the named itk object or return 0 if that object is not supported by the factory implementation.

static void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::DeleteNonInternalFactory ( ObjectFactoryBase * )

staticprivate

virtual void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::Disable ( const char * className )

virtual

Set all enable flags for the given class to 0. This will mean that the factory will stop producing class with the given name.

virtual std::list< std::string > itk::ObjectFactoryBase::GetClassOverrideDescriptions ( )

virtual

Return a list of descriptions for class overrides.

virtual std::list< std::string > itk::ObjectFactoryBase::GetClassOverrideNames ( )

virtual

Return a list of classes that this factory overrides.

virtual std::list< std::string > itk::ObjectFactoryBase::GetClassOverrideWithNames ( )

virtual

Return a list of the names of classes that override classes.

virtual const char* itk::ObjectFactoryBase::GetDescription ( ) const

pure virtual

Return a descriptive string describing the factory.

virtual bool itk::ObjectFactoryBase::GetEnableFlag	(	const char *	className,
		const char *	subclassName
	)

virtual

Get the Enable flag for the specific override of className.

virtual std::list< bool > itk::ObjectFactoryBase::GetEnableFlags ( )

virtual

Return a list of enable flags.

virtual const char* itk::ObjectFactoryBase::GetITKSourceVersion ( ) const

pure virtual

All sub-classes of ObjectFactoryBase should must return the version of ITK they were built with. This should be implemented with the macro ITK_SOURCE_VERSION and NOT a call to Version::GetITKSourceVersion. As the version needs to be compiled into the file as a string constant. This is critical to determine possible incompatible dynamic factory loads.

const char* itk::ObjectFactoryBase::GetLibraryPath ( )

This returns the path to a dynamically loaded factory.

virtual const char* itk::ObjectFactoryBase::GetNameOfClass ( ) const

virtual

Run-time type information (and related methods).

Reimplemented from itk::Object.

static std::list< ObjectFactoryBase * > itk::ObjectFactoryBase::GetRegisteredFactories ( )

static

Return the list of all registered factories. This is NOT a copy, do not remove items from this list!

Examples:: Examples/IO/IOFactoryRegistration.cxx, and Examples/IO/IOPlugin.cxx.

static bool itk::ObjectFactoryBase::GetStrictVersionChecking ( )

static

Require the ITK version of this application to exactly match the ITK version used to compile a dynamic library. When this is set to true, if the versions do not match, an exception will be thrown. When this is false, and the versions do not match, only a warning message is printed out in the console, and the factory is still registered.

static void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::Initialize ( )

staticprivate

Initialize the static members of ObjectFactoryBase. RegisterInternal() and InitializeFactoryList() are called here.

static void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::InitializeFactoryList ( )

staticprivate

Initialize the static list of Factories.

itk::ObjectFactoryBase::itkGetGlobalDeclarationMacro	(	ObjectFactoryBasePrivate	,
		PimplGlobals
	)

private

Set/Get the pointer to ObjectFactoryBasePrivate. No concurrent thread safe.

static void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::LoadDynamicFactories ( )

staticprivate

Load dynamic factories from the ITK_AUTOLOAD_PATH

static void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::LoadLibrariesInPath ( const char * )

staticprivate

Load all dynamic libraries in the given path

void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::PrintSelf	(	std::ostream &	os,
		Indent	indent
	)		const

overrideprotectedvirtual

Methods invoked by Print() to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from itk::Object.

static bool itk::ObjectFactoryBase::RegisterFactory	(	ObjectFactoryBase *	,
		InsertionPositionType	where = `INSERT_AT_BACK`,
		vcl_size_t	position = `0`
	)

static

Register a factory so it can be used to create itk objects.

When INSERT_AT_POSITION is selected, a third argument must be provided
with the actual integer number of the intended position. The position
number must be in the range [0, numberOfRegisteredFactories-1].

Usage should be any of the following:

itk::ObjectFactoryBase::RegisterFactory( newFactory1 ); // at back
itk::ObjectFactoryBase::RegisterFactory( newFactory2, INSERT_AT_FRONT );
itk::ObjectFactoryBase::RegisterFactory( newFactory3, INSERT_AT_BACK );
itk::ObjectFactoryBase::RegisterFactory( newFactory4, INSERT_AT_POSITION, 5 );

If the position value is out of range, an exception will be
thrown.
Returns true if the factory was successfully registered.
Returns false if factory is already loaded.

static void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::RegisterFactoryInternal ( ObjectFactoryBase * )

static

Register a factory so it can be used to create itk objects. This method is intended to be called only for built-in default factories, not for loadable factories.

Factories that are registered with this method will be regisistered after ReHash.

static void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::RegisterInternal ( )

staticprivate

Register default factories which are not loaded at run time.

void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::RegisterOverride	(	const char *	classOverride,
		const char *	overrideClassName,
		const char *	description,
		bool	enableFlag,
		CreateObjectFunctionBase *	createFunction
	)

protected

Register object creation information with the factory.

Referenced by itk::SpatialObjectFactoryBase::RegisterSpatialObject().

static void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::ReHash ( )

static

Re-check the ITK_AUTOLOAD_PATH for new factory libraries. This calls UnRegisterAll before re-loading.

Examples:: Examples/IO/IOPlugin.cxx.

virtual void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::SetEnableFlag	(	bool	flag,
		const char *	className,
		const char *	subclassName
	)

virtual

Set the Enable flag for the specific override of className.

static void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::SetStrictVersionChecking ( bool )

static

Require the ITK version of this application to exactly match the ITK version used to compile a dynamic library. When this is set to true, if the versions do not match, an exception will be thrown. When this is false, and the versions do not match, only a warning message is printed out in the console, and the factory is still registered.

static void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::StrictVersionCheckingOff ( )

static

Require the ITK version of this application to exactly match the ITK version used to compile a dynamic library. When this is set to true, if the versions do not match, an exception will be thrown. When this is false, and the versions do not match, only a warning message is printed out in the console, and the factory is still registered.

static void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::StrictVersionCheckingOn ( )

static

Require the ITK version of this application to exactly match the ITK version used to compile a dynamic library. When this is set to true, if the versions do not match, an exception will be thrown. When this is false, and the versions do not match, only a warning message is printed out in the console, and the factory is still registered.

static void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::SynchronizeObjectFactoryBase ( void * objectFactoryBasePrivate )

staticprivate

Set/Get the pointer to ObjectFactoryBasePrivate. No concurrent thread safe.

static void itk::ObjectFactoryBase::UnRegisterAllFactories ( )
