List of all members.

Static Public Member Functions
static mxObjectCodec	Register (mxObjectCodec codec)
	Registers a new codec and associates the name of the template constructor in the codec with the codec object. Automatically creates an alias if the codename and the classname are not equal.
static void	AddAlias (string classname, string codecname)
	Adds an alias for mapping a classname to a codecname.
static mxObjectCodec	GetCodec (String name)
	Returns a codec that handles the given object, which can be an object instance or an XML node.
static void	AddNamespace (String ns)
	Adds the given namespace to the list of known namespaces.
static Object	GetInstanceForName (String name)
	Creates and returns a new instance for the given class name.
static Type	GetTypeForName (String name)
	Returns a class that corresponds to the given name.
static String	GetName (Object instance)
	Returns the name that identifies the codec associated with the given instance. The I/O system uses unqualified classnames, eg. for a com.mxgraph.model.mxCell this returns mxCell.
Static Protected Attributes
static Dictionary< string, mxObjectCodec >	codecs = new Dictionary<string, mxObjectCodec>()
	Maps from constructor names to codecs.
static Dictionary< string, string >	aliases = new Dictionary<string, string>()
	Maps from classnames to codecnames.
static List< string >	namespaces = new List<string>()
	Holds the list of known namespaces. Packages are used to prefix short class names (eg. mxCell) in XML markup.

Member Function Documentation

static void com.mxgraph.mxCodecRegistry.AddAlias	(	string	classname,
		string	codecname
	)		[inline, static]

Adds an alias for mapping a classname to a codecname.

static void com.mxgraph.mxCodecRegistry.AddNamespace

(

String

ns

)

[inline, static]

Adds the given namespace to the list of known namespaces.

Parameters:

ns	Name of the namespace to be added.

static mxObjectCodec com.mxgraph.mxCodecRegistry.GetCodec

(

String

name

)

[inline, static]

Returns a codec that handles the given object, which can be an object instance or an XML node.

Parameters:

name	C# type name.

Returns:

static Object com.mxgraph.mxCodecRegistry.GetInstanceForName

(

String

name

)

[inline, static]

Creates and returns a new instance for the given class name.

Parameters:

name	Name of the class to be instantiated.

Returns:

Returns a new instance of the given class.

static String com.mxgraph.mxCodecRegistry.GetName

(

Object

instance

)

[inline, static]

Returns the name that identifies the codec associated with the given instance. The I/O system uses unqualified classnames, eg. for a com.mxgraph.model.mxCell this returns mxCell.

Parameters:

instance

Instance whose node name should be returned.

Returns:

Returns a string that identifies the codec.

static Type com.mxgraph.mxCodecRegistry.GetTypeForName

(

String

name

)

[inline, static]

Returns a class that corresponds to the given name.

Parameters:

name

Returns:

static mxObjectCodec com.mxgraph.mxCodecRegistry.Register

(

mxObjectCodec

codec

)

[inline, static]

Registers a new codec and associates the name of the template constructor in the codec with the codec object. Automatically creates an alias if the codename and the classname are not equal.

Member Data Documentation

Dictionary<string, string> com.mxgraph.mxCodecRegistry.aliases = new Dictionary<string, string>() [static, protected]

Maps from classnames to codecnames.

Dictionary<string, mxObjectCodec> com.mxgraph.mxCodecRegistry.codecs = new Dictionary<string, mxObjectCodec>() [static, protected]

Maps from constructor names to codecs.

List<string> com.mxgraph.mxCodecRegistry.namespaces = new List<string>() [static, protected]

Holds the list of known namespaces. Packages are used to prefix short class names (eg. mxCell) in XML markup.
