Detailed Description A Class object holds Metainformation about all Object derived classes. All raytracing classes derive from Object and therefore are covered by a Metainformation system build upon this abtract base class. Author(s): Marcus Bürgel See also: Object Member Function Documentation Class * Class::getBase ( ) const [pure virtual]   Get the base class. Returns: base class const char * Class::getName ( ) const   Get the name of the class. Returns: name of the class PropertyList * Class::getPropertyList ( bool all = true ) const [pure virtual]   Get all properties supported by a instance of these class. Parameters: all   true - return all properties (including inherited properties) false - return all direct properties (but no inherited ones) Returns: property list bool Class::isAbstract ( ) const [pure virtual]   Query if class is abstract. Returns: true - if class is abstract, else false bool Class::isChild ( Class * pBaseClass, int * pDistance = NULL ) const   Determine if we are the child class of a given base class. Optionally the distance (number nodes in the inheritance tree) is calculated. Parameters: pBaseClass   the base class pDistance   (optional) pointer to integer receiving the distance if this parameter is NULL no distance information is returned Returns: true, if pBaseClass is a base class false, pBaseClass isn't a base class Object * Class::newInstance ( ) const [pure virtual]   Create a new instance of the class. A InstanciationException is thrown if a abstract class is asked for a new instance. Returns: new instance Exceptions: InstanciationException   The documentation for this class was generated from the following file: Object.h
