Detailed Description

Support for user-defined directions.

This object has the ability to be passed via a NOX::Parameter::List and to generate new directions.

It is able to be passed via a NOX::Parameter::List because it is derived from NOX::Parameter::Arbitrary class.

It is used by NOX::Direction::Manager to generate a user-defined direction via the newDirection() function.

The user can write a method that derives from this one or use the templated default method, NOX::Parameter::DirectionConstructorT.

Member Function Documentation

virtual DirectionConstructor* NOX::Parameter::DirectionConstructor::clone (   )  const [pure virtual]

Clone a exact replica of yourself and pass back a pointer. It's left to the implementer to decide precisely how clone should function. The main requirement is that the cloned copy should still be valid even if the original is destroyed and even if multiple cloned copies exist. Implements NOX::Parameter::Arbitrary. Implemented in NOX::Parameter::DirectionConstructorT< T >.

virtual ostream& NOX::Parameter::DirectionConstructor::print (  ostream &  stream, int  indent = 0 )  const [inline, virtual]

Print out detailed information describing the Arbitrary object. Each line of output should be indented by the number of spaces specified by indent. Reimplemented from NOX::Parameter::Arbitrary. Reimplemented in NOX::Parameter::DirectionConstructorT< T >.
