Detailed Description

This class manages all device plugins and maintains a device if asked to do so.

This enables applications to access their output device without having to carry it through the whole application.

Member Function Documentation

get3DDevice()

static std::shared_ptr< I3DDevice > DeviceManager::get3DDevice ( )

static

Returns the currently handled 3D device.

Returns

The handled device or nullptr if no device has been registered or the registered device is not an I3DDevice.

getAvailableDeviceNames()

static std::vector< std::string > DeviceManager::getAvailableDeviceNames ( )

static

Returns a list of available devices.

Returns

A list of strings with the names of available devices.

getDefaultDeviceFactory()

static std::shared_ptr< IDeviceFactory > DeviceManager::getDefaultDeviceFactory ( )

static

Returns the default device based on the priorities of the registered factories.

Returns

The default device or nullptr if no factory has been registered.

getDevice()

static std::shared_ptr< IDevice > DeviceManager::getDevice ( )

static

Returns the currently handled device.

Returns

The handled device or nullptr if no device has been registered.

getDeviceFactory()

static std::shared_ptr< IDeviceFactory > DeviceManager::getDeviceFactory ( const std::string & name )

static

Returns the factory for a specific device.

Parameters

name	The representative name of the device.

Returns

The factory if it was found, or nullptr otherwise.

openDefaultDevice()

static void DeviceManager::openDefaultDevice ( )

static

Opens the default device which will then be handled by the manager.

The device to open is selected based on the priority of the registered factories. If a device is currently being handled it will be released.

openDevice()

static void DeviceManager::openDevice ( const std::string & name )

static

Opens a device which will then be handled by the manager.

If a device is currently being handled it will be released.

Parameters

name	The representative name of the device.

registerDevice()

static void DeviceManager::registerDevice ( const std::string & name, std::shared_ptr< IDeviceFactory > factory )

static

Registers a device factory.

This method is mostly used by plugin developers to add their device implementation for general use by the library end users.

Parameters

name	A representative name for the device.
factory	The factory that creates the device.

setDevice()

static void DeviceManager::setDevice ( std::shared_ptr< IDevice > device )

static

Sets a device that should be handled by the manager.

If a device is currently being handled it will be released.

Parameters

device

The device the manager should take care of.
