Description

Abstract base class for help topics that have simple text and subtopics.

This class implements an internal container for subtopics and provides public methods for adding subtopics (as IHelpTopic objects). Subtopic-related methods from IHelpTopic are implemented to access the internal container. writeHelp() is also implemented such that it uses HelpTopicContext::writeTextBlock() to write out the text returned by a new virtual method helpText(), and a list of subtopics is written after the actual text.

Member Function Documentation

void gmx::AbstractCompositeHelpTopic::addSubTopic ( HelpTopicPointer topic )

Adds a given topic as a subtopic of this topic.

Parameters

topic Topis to add.

Exceptions

std::bad_alloc if out of memory.

This topic takes ownership of the object.

See Also: registerSubTopic()

const IHelpTopic * gmx::AbstractCompositeHelpTopic::findSubTopic ( const char * name ) const

virtual

Finds a subtopic by name.

Parameters

[in] name Name of subtopic to find.

Returns: Pointer to the found subtopic, or NULL if matching topic is not found.

Implements gmx::IHelpTopic.

virtual std::string gmx::AbstractCompositeHelpTopic::helpText ( ) const

protectedpure virtual

Returns the help text for this topic.

writeHelp() calls this method to obtain the actual text to format for the topic. Markup substitution etc. is done automatically by writeHelp().

Implemented in gmx::CompositeHelpTopic< HelpText >, and gmx::CompositeHelpTopic< KeywordsHelpText >.

virtual const char* gmx::AbstractCompositeHelpTopic::name ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the name of the topic.

This should be a single lowercase word, used to identify the topic. It is not used for the root of the help topic tree.

Implements gmx::IHelpTopic.

Implemented in gmx::CompositeHelpTopic< HelpText >, gmx::CompositeHelpTopic< KeywordsHelpText >, and gmx::anonymous_namespace{cmdlinehelpmodule.cpp}::RootHelpTopic.

template<class Topic >

void gmx::AbstractCompositeHelpTopic::registerSubTopic ( )

inline

Registers a subtopic of a certain type to this topic.

Template Parameters

Topic Type of topic to register.

Exceptions

std::bad_alloc if out of memory.

Topic must be default-constructible and implement IHelpTopic.

This method is provided as a convenient alternative to addSubTopic() for cases where each topic is implemented by a different type (which is a common case outside unit tests).

virtual const char* gmx::AbstractCompositeHelpTopic::title ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a title for the topic.

May return NULL, in which case the topic is omitted from normal subtopic lists and no title is printed by the methods provided in helptopic.h.

Implements gmx::IHelpTopic.

Implemented in gmx::CompositeHelpTopic< HelpText >, gmx::CompositeHelpTopic< KeywordsHelpText >, and gmx::anonymous_namespace{cmdlinehelpmodule.cpp}::RootHelpTopic.

void gmx::AbstractCompositeHelpTopic::writeHelp ( const HelpWriterContext & context ) const

virtual

Prints the help text for this topic.

Parameters

[in] context Context object for writing the help.

Exceptions

std::bad_alloc	if out of memory.
FileIOError	on any I/O error.

Implements gmx::IHelpTopic.

Reimplemented in gmx::anonymous_namespace{selhelp.cpp}::KeywordsHelpTopic, and gmx::anonymous_namespace{cmdlinehelpmodule.cpp}::RootHelpTopic.

bool gmx::AbstractCompositeHelpTopic::writeSubTopicList	(	const HelpWriterContext &	context,
		const std::string &	title
	)		const

protected

Writes the list of subtopics.

Parameters

[in]	context	Context for writing the help.
[in]	title	Title for the written list.

Returns: true if anything was printed.

Exceptions

std::bad_alloc	if out of memory.
FileIOError	on any I/O error.

Subtopics with empty titles are skipped from the list. If there would be no subtopics in the list, title is not printed either.

This method is provided for cases where helpText() does not provide the needed flexibility and the derived class needs to override writeHelp(). This method can then be called to print the same subtopic list that is printed by the default writeHelp() implementation.
