Interface IGPFunctionFactory

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

FMEFunctionFactory, GPGlobeFunctionFactory, GPGlobeServicesFunctionFactory, GpKMLFunctionFactory, GPSearchFunctionFactory, GPServerCachingFunctionFactory, GPServerFunctionFactory

public interface IGPFunctionFactory
extends Serializable

Provides access to the properties/methods of a geoprocessing function factory object.

Remarks

The IGPFunctionFactory is a logical grouping of tools. It is registered into the component category CATID_GPFunctionFactories.

The function factory is responsible for handing out the function name objects for each geoprocessing function, in other words it makes a geoprocessing tool accessible. It is required when building geoprocessing functions tools. For more information about using the IGPFuctionFactory refer to the technical document Building Geoprocessing Function Tools.
