Detailed Description

Factory that can create a DataAnnotation based on a complete DataType.

When the annotation needs to capture information about a data type, this allows creation of the annotation to be postponed until the data type is being built.

◆ create()

static std::shared_ptr< IDataAnnotationFactory > luciad::IDataAnnotationFactory::create ( std::function< std::shared_ptr< DataAnnotation >(const DataType &)> function )

static

Creates a default IDataAnnotationFactory instance that delegates IDataAnnotationFactory::createAnnotation to the given function.

This is a convenience function that allows to reduce boiler plate code using a lambda.

Parameters

function the function that is called by IDataAnnotationFactory::createAnnotation.

Returns: an IDataAnnotationFactory instance based on the given function.

◆ createAnnotation()

virtual std::shared_ptr< DataAnnotation > luciad::IDataAnnotationFactory::createAnnotation ( const DataType & dataType ) const

pure virtual

Create an annotation based on dataType.
