#include <itkLightObject.h>

Detailed Description

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).

Member Function Documentation

◆ BreakOnError()

static void itk::LightObject::BreakOnError ( )

static

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

◆ Clone()

Pointer itk::LightObject::Clone ( ) const

inline

Creates and returns a clone of this object.

Definition at line 79 of file itkLightObject.h.

◆ CreateAnother()

virtual Pointer itk::LightObject::CreateAnother ( ) const

virtual

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.

◆ Delete()

virtual void itk::LightObject::Delete ( )

virtual

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.

◆ GetNameOfClass()

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

virtual

Return the name of this class as a string. Used by the object factory (implemented in New()) to instantiate objects of a named type. Also used for debugging and other output information.

◆ GetReferenceCount()

virtual int itk::LightObject::GetReferenceCount ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Gets the reference count on this object.

Definition at line 128 of file itkLightObject.h.

◆ InternalClone()

virtual LightObject::Pointer itk::LightObject::InternalClone ( ) const

protectedvirtual

Actual implementation of the clone method. This method should be reimplemented in subclasses to clone the extra required parameters.

◆ New()

static Pointer itk::LightObject::New ( )

static

Method for creation through the object factory.

◆ Print()

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

Cause the object to print itself out.

◆ PrintHeader()

virtual void itk::LightObject::PrintHeader	(	std::ostream &	os,
		Indent	indent
	)		const

protectedvirtual

◆ PrintSelf()

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

protectedvirtual

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.

◆ PrintTrailer()

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

protectedvirtual

◆ Register()

virtual void itk::LightObject::Register ( ) const

virtual

Increase the reference count (mark as used by another object).

Reimplemented in itk::Object.

◆ SetReferenceCount()

virtual void itk::LightObject::SetReferenceCount ( int )

virtual

Sets the reference count on this object. This is a dangerous method, use it with care.

Reimplemented in itk::Object.

◆ UnRegister()

virtual void itk::LightObject::UnRegister ( ) const

virtualnoexcept

Decrease the reference count (release by another object).

Reimplemented in itk::Object.

Member Data Documentation

◆ m_ReferenceCount

std::atomic<int> itk::LightObject::m_ReferenceCount {}

mutableprotected

Number of uses of this object by other objects.
