Detailed Description

Interface for a variable factory.

The instance allows creating a variable based on its data type (dataType()), its entity kind (itemKind()), its dimension (dimension()), and its tag if it is a multi-array (multiTag()).

The fullTypeName() operation contains the complete type name, obtained in the following way: dataType().itemKind().dimension().multiTag. For example, for a real scalar variable on the cells, the complete type is: "Real.Cell.0.0".
