This class implements a factory for concrete BraggScatterer classes.
When a new scatterer is derived from BraggScatterer, it should be registered in the factory. Like other factories in Mantid, a macro is provided for this purpose:
DECLARE_BRAGGSCATTERER(NewScattererClass)
At runtime, instances of this class can be created like this:
BraggScatterer_sptr scatterer =
BraggScattererFactory::Instance().createScatterer("NewScattererClass");
The returned object is initialized, which is required for using the Kernel::Property-based system of setting parameters for the scatterer. To make creation of scatterers more convenient, it's possible to provide a string with "name=value" pairs, separated by semi-colons, which assigns property values. This is similar to the way FunctionFactory::createInitialized works:
BraggScatterer_sptr s = BraggScattererFactory::Instance()
.createScatterer(
"NewScatterer",
"SpaceGroup=F m -3 m;"
"Position=[0.1,0.2,0.3]");
If you choose to use the raw create/createUnwrapped methods, you have to make sure to call BraggScatterer::initialize() on the created instance.
