Detailed Description

This class describes what is a generic Image Acquisition Component extension.

To add a ImageAcquisitionComponentExtension write a new class that inherits from this class. Do not forget to add the dependency to the library in your CMakeList (imageacquisitioninterface)

This class derives from ComponentExtension and that is why a subclass of ImageAcquisitionComponentExtension have to describe methods from ComponentExtension as well.

The following methods HAVE to be redefined in your subclass:

getName() (from ComponentExtension)
getDescription() (from ComponentExtension)
getFileExtensions() (from ComponentExtension)
open() (from ComponentExtension)
getInstance() (from ImageAcquisitionComponentExtension)

Note

getInstance() method should just return a new instance of your ImageAcquisitionComponent subclass.

ImageAcquisitionComponentExtension works as a factory.

getImagerList() automatically looks for all ImageAcquisitionComponentExtension subclass and add them automatically to the list of possible instance produced by the factory. This way a new device can be added on the fly by adding new extensions.

The following methods can also be redefined (inherited from Component Extension):

save: saving from a Component to one of the managed format
hasDataDirectory: for directory type extension
