  - getComparator
```
public ClassComparator getComparator()
```
    Returns the class comparator used to sort the super classes of an object.
    
    Returns:
    
    the class comparator.
  - getDescriptionForClass
```
public ObjectDescription getDescriptionForClass(java.lang.Class c)
```
    Returns an object-description for a class.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getDescriptionForClass in interface ClassFactory
    
    Parameters:
    
    c - the class.
    
    Returns:
    
    An object description.
  - getSuperClassObjectDescription
```
public ObjectDescription getSuperClassObjectDescription(java.lang.Class d,
                                                        ObjectDescription knownSuperClass)
```
    Returns the most concrete object-description for the super class of a class.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSuperClassObjectDescription in interface ClassFactory
    
    Parameters:
    
    d - the class.
    
    knownSuperClass - a known supported superclass or null, if no superclass is known yet.
    
    Returns:
    
    The object description.
  - registerClass
```
protected void registerClass(java.lang.Class key,
                             ObjectDescription od)
```
    Registers an object description with the factory.

    Returns:
    
    The iterator.
  - configure
```
public void configure(Configuration config)
```
    Configures this factory. The configuration contains several keys and their defined values. The given reference to the configuration object will remain valid until the report parsing or writing ends.
