Detailed Description

The class of all attributes of data that is considered to ve meta-data.

CAttribute is the base class used for generric attributes of images and similar entities. This class is abstract and most likely you want to use one of the provided specializations of the class TAttribute or create your own specializations.

◆ ~CAttribute()

virtual CAttribute::~CAttribute ( )

virtual

virtual destructor since derived classes may define dynamic objetcs

Member Function Documentation

◆ as_string()

std::string CAttribute::as_string ( ) const

returns the value as a atring

◆ is_equal()

bool CAttribute::is_equal ( const CAttribute & other ) const

compare this attribute to another one

Parameters

other other attribute to compare to

Returns: true if the attributes are of the same type and hold the same value, false otherwiese

Referenced by operator==().

◆ is_less()

bool CAttribute::is_less ( const CAttribute & other ) const

compare this attribute to another one for a strict ordering

Parameters

other other attribute to compare to

Returns: a result dependend on the actual implementation of the private virtual method do_is_less
