CImageSet:new
The new method creates an instance of the CImageSet class. This method returns to the caller a reference to the object it creates. The calling code must assign this reference to a name (see below). If the object cannot be created, nil is returned.
Note: This method's name uses all lower case to present it as the analog of the C++ new operator. Generally, the names of class methods begin with an uppercase letter but new and delete are different.
S = CImageSet:new() |
-- create a new instance of S of the CImageSet class. |
... |
-- other uses of the class go here, between new and delete. |
S:delete() |
-- delete the object and its associated memory. |
