### Public Types

typedef std::map\< **String**, **NewBaseObjectFunction** \> **StringFunctionMap**\

### Static Public Member Functions

static void **add** (const char \*name, **NewBaseObjectFunction** construction)\
 This adds a new construction function to the type manager.  static void **remove** (const char \*name)\
 And this one removes a type from the managers lists.  static **BaseObject** \* **createInstanceOf** (const char \*name)\
