Member Function Documentation

template<class T>

vtkSmartPointer& vtkSmartPointer< T >::operator= ( T * r )

inline

Assign object to reference.

This removes any reference to an old object.

Definition at line 68 of file vtkSmartPointer.h.

template<class T>

vtkSmartPointer& vtkSmartPointer< T >::operator= ( vtkNew< T > & r )

inline

Assign object to reference.

This removes a reference to an old object.

Definition at line 80 of file vtkSmartPointer.h.

template<class T>

template<class U >

vtkSmartPointer& vtkSmartPointer< T >::operator= ( const vtkSmartPointer< U > & r )

inline

Assign object to reference.

This removes any reference to an old object.

Definition at line 93 of file vtkSmartPointer.h.

template<class T>

T* vtkSmartPointer< T >::GetPointer ( ) const

inline

Get the contained pointer.

Definition at line 104 of file vtkSmartPointer.h.

template<class T>

T* vtkSmartPointer< T >::Get ( ) const

inline

Get the contained pointer.

Definition at line 108 of file vtkSmartPointer.h.

template<class T>

vtkSmartPointer< T >::operator T * ( ) const

inline

Get the contained pointer.

Definition at line 117 of file vtkSmartPointer.h.

template<class T>

T& vtkSmartPointer< T >::operator* ( ) const

inline

Dereference the pointer and return a reference to the contained object.

Definition at line 126 of file vtkSmartPointer.h.

template<class T>

T* vtkSmartPointer< T >::operator-> ( ) const

inline

Provides normal pointer target member access using operator ->.

Definition at line 134 of file vtkSmartPointer.h.

template<class T>

void vtkSmartPointer< T >::TakeReference ( T * t )

inline

Transfer ownership of one reference to the given VTK object to this smart pointer.

This does not increment the reference count of the object, but will decrement it later. The caller is effectively passing ownership of one reference to the smart pointer. This is useful for code like:

vtkSmartPointer<vtkFoo> foo; foo.TakeReference(bar->NewFoo());

The input argument may not be another smart pointer.

Definition at line 151 of file vtkSmartPointer.h.

template<class T>

static vtkSmartPointer<T> vtkSmartPointer< T >::New ( )

inlinestatic

Create an instance of a VTK object.

Definition at line 159 of file vtkSmartPointer.h.

template<class T>

static vtkSmartPointer<T> vtkSmartPointer< T >::NewInstance ( T * t )

inlinestatic

Create a new instance of the given VTK object.

Definition at line 167 of file vtkSmartPointer.h.

template<class T>

static vtkSmartPointer<T> vtkSmartPointer< T >::Take ( T * t )

inlinestatic

Transfer ownership of one reference to the given VTK object to a new smart pointer.

The returned smart pointer does not increment the reference count of the object on construction but will decrement it on destruction. The caller is effectively passing ownership of one reference to the smart pointer. This is useful for code like:

vtkSmartPointer<vtkFoo> foo = vtkSmartPointer<vtkFoo>::Take(bar->NewFoo());

The input argument may not be another smart pointer.
