CreateObject()

template<class Base >

Instantiate client derived class.
Notice the base class must have the static method instantiate

RegisterObjectFactory()

template<class Derived >

void GManager::RegisterObjectFactory ( std::string  name )

inline

Parameters

name	name under which the factory is registered

Before instantiating the wanted class we need to register it (as Derived) in the manager first using RegisterObjectFactory.
Derived is the derived class, i.e. "Triangle" : "Shape".
The client knows about the derived class (through header)
