class ElementFactory : public Factory

(Return to index)

Concrete factory class for CLASSIC elements.

Defines the beamline element creation via the factory pattern. When the factory is constructed, empty elements are first created and stored. {p} With the makeElement() method, these elements can be cloned and then filled in with from an ElementImage. The factory also implements an element repository which can store beam lines.

  ElementFactory () ;

  Default constructor.
  Fills the repository with all standard element definitions.

  virtual bool define (ElementBase*) ;

  Define a new element.
  The element newElement is linked to the repository. If an element with the same name exists already, replacement is rejected, and newElement is deleted.

  virtual void erase (const string&) ;

  Erase element by name.
  If there is no element with the given name, the request is ignored.

  virtual ElementBase* find (const string&)const ;

  Find element by name.
  If an element with the name name exists, return a pointer to this element, otherwise return NULL.

  virtual ElementBase* makeElement (const string&,const string&,const AttributeSet&) ;

  Make new element.
  Create a new element with the type type, the name name and the attributes in set. If an element with the name name already exists, it is replaced.

  virtual bool storeElement (ElementBase*) ;

  Define a new element.
  The element newElement is linked to the repository. If an element with the same name exists already, it is replaced.
