virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

ParamPtr sdf::Param::Clone

(

)

const

Clone the parameter.

Returns

A new parameter that is the clone of this.

_value

)

const

Get the value of the parameter.

Parameters

[out]

_value

The value of the parameter.

Returns

True if parameter was successfully cast to the value type passed in.

References sdferr.

bool sdf::Param::GetAny

(

boost::any &

_anyVal

)

const

Get the value of the parameter as a boost::any.

Parameters

[out]

_anyVal

The boost::any object to set.

Returns

True if successfully fetched _anyVal, false otherwise.

std::string sdf::Param::GetAsString

(

)

const

Get the value as a string.

Returns

String containing the value of the parameter.

T &

_value

)

const

Get the default value of the parameter.

Parameters

[out]

_value

The default value of the parameter.

Returns

True if parameter was successfully cast to the value type passed in.

References sdferr.

std::string sdf::Param::GetDefaultAsString

(

const

Get the default value as a string.

Returns

String containing the default value of the parameter.

std::string sdf::Param::GetDescription

(

)

const

Get the description of the parameter.

Returns

The description of the parameter.

const std::string& sdf::Param::GetKey

const

Get the key value.

Returns

The key.

bool sdf::Param::GetRequired

(

)

const

Return whether the parameter is required.

Returns

True if the parameter is required.

bool sdf::Param::GetSet

(

)

const

Return true if the parameter has been set.

Returns

True if the parameter has been set.

const std::string& sdf::Param::GetTypeName

(

)

const

Get the type name value.

Returns

The type name.

template<typename Type >

bool sdf::Param::IsType

(

)

const

Return true if the param is a particular type.

Returns

True if the type held by this Param matches the Type template parameter.

Param& sdf::Param::operator=

(

const Param &

_param

)

Equal operator.

Set's the value and default value from the provided Param.

Parameters

[in]

_param

The parameter to set values from.

Returns

*This

void sdf::Param::Reset

const T &

_value

)

Set the parameter's value.

The passed in value value must have an input and output stream operator.

Parameters

[in]

_value

The value to set the parameter to.

Returns

True if the value was successfully set.

References sdferr, and SetFromString().

void sdf::Param::SetDescription

(

const std::string &

_desc

)

Set the description of the parameter.

Parameters

[in]

_desc

New description for the parameter.

bool sdf::Param::SetFromString

(

const std::string &

_value

)

Set the parameter value from a string.

Parameters

[in]

_value

New value for the parameter in string form.

Referenced by Set().

template<typename T >

void sdf::Param::SetUpdateFunc

T

_updateFunc

)

Set the update function.

The updateFunc will be used to set the parameter's value when Param::Update is called.

Parameters

[in]

_updateFunc
