/** EO Factory. A factory is used to create other objects. In particular,
|
|
it can be used so that objects of that kind can't be created in any other
|
|
way. It should be instantiated with anything that needs a factory, like selectors
|
|
or whatever; but the instance class should be the parent class from which all the
|
|
object that are going to be created descend. This class basically defines an interface,
|
|
as usual. The base factory class for each hierarchy should be redefined every time a new
|
|
object is added to the hierarchy, which is not too good, but in any case, some code would
|
|
have to be modified
