Detailed Description

Class whose dynamic instances are collected.

All sub-classes of this class have automatic collection of dynamic instances such that the user does not have to delete the objects that are new 'ed. In this library the following objects use this class: rtl_object rtl_material rtl_light. These objects will automatically collect the dynamic instances of themselves created during run-time and when the application terminates will be deleted.

In order to provide more flexibility there is a provision to create and set the collecting object. In this way it is possible to collect dynamic objects and delete them when the collect_alloc object is deleted.
