Detailed Description

Factory to create instances that manage data point projection.

Library: ilvcharts

This factory class is used to create the instances that will handle data point projection and rendering for chart displayers. The IlvChartDisplayerPointsFactory::create method must be overloaded to return an instance of a subclass of IlvChartDisplayerPoints.

virtual IlvChartDisplayerPointsFactory* IlvChartDisplayerPointsFactory::copy

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Virtual copy constructor.

Creates and returns a copy of the current object. This method must be overloaded in subclasses.

Returns:

A copy of the current object.

Implemented in IlvChartPointsFilterFactory.

virtual IlvChartDisplayerPoints* IlvChartDisplayerPointsFactory::create	(	const IlvChartGraphic *	chart,
		const IlvSingleChartDisplayer *	disp
	)			[pure virtual]

Creates an instance that handles data point projection.

Called by the IlvSingleChartDisplayer::allocDisplayerPoints method to fetch the object used to project data points.

Parameters:

	chart	The chart that displays the data.
	disp	The displayer for which the instance that handles data point projection is created.

Returns:

An instance that will handle data point projection for the displayer disp.

Implemented in IlvChartPointsFilterFactory.

virtual void IlvChartDisplayerPointsFactory::release	(	const IlvSingleChartDisplayer *	disp,
		IlvChartDisplayerPoints *	dispPts
	)			[virtual]

Free the created instance that handles data point projection.

Called by the IlvSingleChartDisplayer::releaseDisplayerPoints method when the dispPts object is no longer used. The default implementation uses the delete operator on the dispPts object. This method can be overloaded to recycle the instance instead of deleting it.

Parameters:

	disp	The displayer that uses the dispPts instance.
	dispPts	The instance to release.
