Hello,

I have a basic doubt on Abstract factory pattern. Abstract factory
Provides an interface for creating family of related or dependent objects.
How do objects are related? I mean , does this relation is conceptual
relation or it is a physical relation(Programatically there exist a
relation among the family of objects)?

Given two product classes say , Motifwindow, Motifscrollbar. Conceptually
they belong to the product family Motifwidget.
Is it possible to infer this information from the code?.

Looking forward for reply.

Regards
rajesh
