class LightObject

Light weight base class for most itk classes.

LightObject is the highest level base class for most itk objects. It implements reference counting and the API for object printing. It can be used as a lightweight base class in preference to Object. (LightObject does not support callbacks or modified time as Object does.) All ITK objects should be a subclass of LightObject or Object with few exceptions (due to performance concerns).
