virtual std::set<std::string> PluginManagerInterface::getConnected	(	const std::string &	root,
		const ParameterFile &	pf
	)		const

pure virtual

This is based on the content of the given ParameterFile, i.e. the connected objects need not to exist really. This is also independend of the existing connections of the current object, it is only based on the connections saved in the parameter file. Nonexistent objects are created, so you have to make sure, that the object factory is up and running. The root object itself is also part of the connected component.

Parameters

root	Starting point for connected object search
pf	ParameterFile to read connections from.

Returns: set of connected object names

Implemented in PluginManager.

virtual ParameteredObject* PluginManagerInterface::getInstance ( const std::string & instanceName ) const

pure virtual

Parameters

instanceName Name of the instance

Returns: Pointer to the requested instance

Implemented in PluginManager.

virtual std::string PluginManagerInterface::templateTypeToString ( ParameteredObject::template_type t ) const

pure virtual

Parameters

t	template type to convert

Returns: string representation of t

Implemented in PluginManager.
