What design problem solved by flywight?

Question

"Structuring objects, so that they can be shared across multiple context."

Intent:
1. Reduce storage cost for large number of objects.

2. Share objects to be used in multiple context simultanously.

3. Retain object oriented granularity and flexibility.

Hi people,

Anyone of you have used this pattern to solve design problem in software development. If YES?

Share a Scenario.

Thanks,
