Detailed Description

The MetaDataObjectBase class is designed as the common interface for MetaDataObject's. This class is intended as the value part of the (key,value) pair to be stored in a MetaDataDictionary.

Member Function Documentation

static void itk::LightObject::BreakOnError (   )  [static, inherited]

This method is called when itkExceptionMacro executes. It allows the debugger to break on error.

virtual Pointer itk::LightObject::CreateAnother (   )  const [virtual, inherited]

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. Reimplemented in itk::Object.

virtual void itk::LightObject::Delete (   )  [virtual, inherited]

Delete an itk object. This method should always be used to delete an object when the new operator was used to create it. Using the C delete method will not work with reference counting.

virtual const std::type_info& itk::MetaDataObjectBase::GetMetaDataObjectTypeInfo (  void   )  const [virtual]

Author: Hans J. Johnson Returns: A constant reference to a std::type_info object Reimplemented in itk::MetaDataObject< MetaDataObjectType >.

virtual const char* itk::MetaDataObjectBase::GetMetaDataObjectTypeName (  void   )  const [virtual]

Author: Hans J. Johnson Returns: A pointer to a const char array containing the unique type name. Reimplemented in itk::MetaDataObject< MetaDataObjectType >.

virtual const char* itk::MetaDataObjectBase::GetNameOfClass (   )  const [virtual]

Run-time type information (and related methods). Reimplemented from itk::LightObject. Reimplemented in itk::MetaDataObject< MetaDataObjectType >.

virtual int itk::LightObject::GetReferenceCount (   )  const [inline, virtual, inherited]

Gets the reference count on this object. Definition at line 98 of file itkLightObject.h.

static Pointer itk::MetaDataObjectBase::New (  void   )  [static, protected]

Method for creation through the object factory. Reimplemented from itk::LightObject.

void itk::LightObject::Print (  std::ostream &  os, Indent  indent = 0 )  const [inherited]

Cause the object to print itself out.

virtual void itk::MetaDataObjectBase::Print (  std::ostream &  os  )  const [virtual]

Defines the default behavior for printing out this element Parameters: os  An output stream Reimplemented in itk::MetaDataObject< MetaDataObjectType >.

virtual void itk::LightObject::PrintTrailer (  std::ostream &  os, Indent  indent )  const [protected, virtual, inherited]

virtual void itk::LightObject::Register (   )  const [virtual, inherited]

Increase the reference count (mark as used by another object). Reimplemented in itk::Object.

virtual void itk::LightObject::SetReferenceCount (  int   )  [virtual, inherited]

Sets the reference count on this object. This is a dangerous method, use it with care. Reimplemented in itk::Object.

virtual void itk::LightObject::UnRegister (   )  const [virtual, inherited]

Decrease the reference count (release by another object). Reimplemented in itk::Object.

int itk::LightObject::m_ReferenceCount [mutable, protected, inherited]

Number of uses of this object by other objects. Definition at line 119 of file itkLightObject.h.

SimpleFastMutexLock itk::LightObject::m_ReferenceCountLock [mutable, protected, inherited]

Mutex lock to protect modification to the reference count Definition at line 122 of file itkLightObject.h.

Methods invoked by virtual 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. */ virtual void PrintSelf(std voi itk::LightObject::PrintHeader)(std::ostream &os, Indent indent) const [protected, inherited]
