Detailed Description

template<typename T, typename Type>
class ThePEG::Parameter< T, Type >

The Parameter and its base classes ParameterTBase and ParameterBase defines an interface to a class derived from the InterfacedBase, through which simple member variables can be manuipulated.

Parameter is templated on the type of the member variable and the type of the InterfacedBase class, and is derived from the InterfaceBase class via ParameterTBase (which is templated only on the type of the member variable) and ParameterBase.

For each InterfacedBase class exactly one static Parameter object should created for each member variable which should be interfaced. This object will automatically register itself with the BaseRepository class.
