virtual DtInteractionEncoder* DtInteractionEncoderFactory::addEncoder	(	RTI::InteractionClassHandle	hand,
		DtInteractionEncoder *	encoder
	)		[virtual]

Add an encoder prototype to the factory.

The encoder prototype will be cloned by createEncoder when called for the appropriate handle. Caller deletes the encoder, but AFTER the encoder factory no longer needs it. Returns any previous encoder which was replaced by the add.

virtual void DtInteractionEncoderFactory::addParameterEncoder	(	RTI::InteractionClassHandle	classHand,
		RTI::ParameterHandle	paramHand,
		DtInteractionEncoder::DtParameterEncoder	encoder,
		bool	applyToSubclasses = true
	)		[virtual]

This function is used to add a parameter encoder function to several prototype encoders all at once - namely, those associated with the interaction class denoted by hand, as well as all of its subclasses.

If applyToSubclasses is false, then the function is only registered with the one encoder prototype, making it equivalent to encoder(hand)->addEncoder(hand, encoder));

void DtInteractionEncoderFactory::addParameterEncoder	(	char *	className,
		RTI::ParameterHandle	paramHand,
		DtInteractionEncoder::DtParameterEncoder	func,
		bool	applyToSubclasses = true
	)

Same as above, but identify class by name.

void DtInteractionEncoderFactory::addParameterEncoder	(	RTI::InteractionClassHandle	classHand,
		char *	paramName,
		DtInteractionEncoder::DtParameterEncoder	func,
		bool	applyToSubclasses = true
	)

Same as above, but identify param by name.

void DtInteractionEncoderFactory::addParameterEncoder	(	char *	className,
		char *	paramName,
		DtInteractionEncoder::DtParameterEncoder	func,
		bool	applyToSubclasses = true
	)

Same as above, but identify class and param by name.

virtual DtInteractionEncoder* DtInteractionEncoderFactory::createEncoder

(

RTI::InteractionClassHandle

hand

)

[virtual]

Create an encoder for the specified interaction class.

Note: Caller is responsible for deleting. Returns NULL if encoder creation function is not in the factory.

virtual DtInteractionEncoder* DtInteractionEncoderFactory::encoder	(	RTI::InteractionClassHandle	hand,
		bool	copyBase = false
	)		[virtual]

Returns the encoder prototype associated with handle by a previous call to addEncoder.

If there is no encoder registered with hand, and if copyBase is true, then rather than returning NULL, we try to find an encoder that can be used for hand by searching up the class hierarchy for the most specific superclass that has an encoder registered with it. We make a clone of this encoder and associate it with hand, and return this clone. If necessary, we also associate clones with the classes in between hand and the ancestor whose encoder we are cloning. If no encoders for any superclasses can be found, we return NULL.
