Detailed Description

Base class for spectrometers.

Example: class Gyoto::Spectrometer::Uniform

See Gyoto::Spectrometer for an introduction.

Generic inherits from Gyoto::SmartPointee so that it is possible to create a SmartPointer to a Spectrometer.

It also inherits from Gyoto::Hook::Teller. This allows a consistent implementation of Spectrometer::Complex (in particular). Any method which mutates a Spectrometer should call tellListeners().

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Subcontractor_t

typedef Gyoto::SmartPointer<Gyoto::SmartPointee> Gyoto::SmartPointee::Subcontractor_t(Gyoto::FactoryMessenger *, std::vector< std::string > const &)
inherited

A subcontractor builds an object upon order from the Factory.

Various classes need to provide a subcontractor to be able to instantiate themselves upon order from the Factory. A subcontractor is a function (often a static member function) which accepts a pointer to a FactoryMessenger as unique parameter, communicates with the Factory using this messenger to read an XML description of the object to build, and returns this objet. SmartPointee::Subcontractor_t* is just generic enough a typedef to cast to and from other subcontractor types: Astrobj::Subcontractor_t, Metric::Subcontractor_t, Spectrum::Subcontractor_t. A subcontractor needs to be registered using the relevant Register() function: Astrobj::Register(), Metric::Register(), Spectrum::Register().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Generic() [1/3]

Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic::Generic ( )

Default constructor.

Sets each member to 0.

◆ Generic() [2/3]

Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic::Generic ( kind_t  kindid)

Constructor setting kindid.

Sets the other members to 0. This is usually the right constructor to use:

Complex::Complex : Generic(Complex::Kindid) {}

Always set kindid to the address of a static variable, not to a temporary. Usually your class should have a static member for that purpose:

class MyKind : public Spectrometer::Generic
{
static kind_t Kindid;
};
kind_t MyKind::Kindid = "MyKind";

◆ Generic() [3/3]

Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic::Generic ( const Generic )

Copy constructor.

Takes care of (deep) copying all the members known to the base class.

◆ ~Generic()

virtual Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic::~Generic ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Takes care of deleting the arrays (if the pointers are not NULL).

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

virtual Generic* Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic::clone ( ) const
pure virtual

Clone an instance.

Use this to get a deep copy of an instance;

SmartPointer<Generic> myclone = orig->clone();

Most implementations will use the copy constructor:

Generic* Uniform::clone() const { return new Uniform(*this); }

Implemented in Gyoto::Spectrometer::Complex, and Gyoto::Spectrometer::Uniform.

◆ describeProperty()

std::string Gyoto::Object::describeProperty ( Gyoto::Property const &  p) const
inherited

Format desrciption for a property.

Returns a string containing the name(s) and type of the property, as well as whether it supports unit.

◆ fillElement()

virtual void Gyoto::Object::fillElement ( Gyoto::FactoryMessenger fmp) const
virtualinherited

Fill the XML element for this Object.

The base implementation simply calls fillProperty() for each Property defined for the Object.

Derived classes should avoid overriding fillElement(). It may make sense occasionally, e.g. to make sure that the metric is output first.

To customize how a given Property is rendered, it is better to override fillProperty().

If this method is overridden, the implementation should in general call fillElement() on the direct base.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Scenery, Gyoto::Spectrometer::Complex, Gyoto::Astrobj::Complex, and Gyoto::Metric::Complex.

◆ fillProperty()

virtual void Gyoto::Object::fillProperty ( Gyoto::FactoryMessenger fmp,
Property const &  p 
) const
virtualinherited

Output a single Property to XML.

The base implementation decides what to do based on the p.type. The format matches how setParameters() an setParameter() would interpret the XML descition.

Overriding this method should be avoided, but makes sense in some cases (for instance Screen::fillProperty() selects a different unit for Distance based on its magnitude, so that stellar sizes are expressed in solar radii while smaller sizes can be expressed in meters and larger sizes in parsecs).

Overriding implementation should fall-back on calling the implementation in the direct parent class:

class A: public Object {};
class B: public A {
using B::setParameter;
Property const &p) const ;
};
void B::fillProperty(Gyoto::FactoryMessenger *fmp,
Property const &p) const {
if (name=="Duff") fmp->doSomething();
else A::fillProperty(fmp, p);
}

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Screen, Gyoto::Scenery, Gyoto::Astrobj::Star, Gyoto::Spectrometer::Uniform, Gyoto::Astrobj::PolishDoughnut, Gyoto::Astrobj::Disk3D, Gyoto::Astrobj::PatternDisk, Gyoto::Astrobj::DirectionalDisk, Gyoto::Astrobj::DynamicalDisk, Gyoto::Astrobj::EquatorialHotSpot, Gyoto::Astrobj::XillverReflection, Gyoto::Metric::Shift, and Gyoto::Astrobj::NeutronStarModelAtmosphere.

◆ getChannelBoundaries()

virtual void Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic::getChannelBoundaries ( double  data[],
std::string  unit 
)
virtual

Copy Generic::boundaries_, converting to unit.

Parameters
dataan array of Generic::nboundaries_ doubles to fill with result
unita string

◆ getMidpoints()

virtual void Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic::getMidpoints ( double  data[],
std::string  unit 
)
virtual

Copy Generic::midpoints_, converting to unit.

Parameters
dataan array of Generic::nsamples_ doubles to fill with result
unita string

◆ getProperties()

virtual Property const* Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic::getProperties ( ) const
virtual

Get list of properties.

This method is declared automatically by the GYOTO_OBJECT macro and defined automatically by the GYOTO_PROPERTY_END macro.

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Object.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Spectrometer::Uniform.

◆ getWidths()

virtual void Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic::getWidths ( double  data[],
std::string  unit 
)
virtual

Copy Generic::widths_, converting to unit.

Think carefully before using: widths are often used to convert spectral flux density to flux. If flux density is per Herz, you don't need to convert widths.

Parameters
dataan array of Generic::nboundaries_ doubles to fill with result
unita string

◆ help()

void Gyoto::Object::help ( ) const
inherited

Print (to stdout) some help on this class.

Describe all properties that this instance supports.

◆ hook()

virtual void Gyoto::Hook::Teller::hook ( Listener listener)
virtualinherited

Start listening.

Use from a Hook::Listener object method:

teller->hook(this)

where "this" is a Listener and "teller" is a Teller.

Use unhook() later to stop listening to a given Teller.

Parameters
listenerpointer to the new listener

◆ isThreadSafe()

virtual bool Gyoto::Object::isThreadSafe ( ) const
virtualinherited

Whether this class is thread-safe.

Return True if this object is thread-safe, i.e. if an instance and its clone can be used in parallel threads (in the context of Scenery::raytrace()). Known objects which are not thread-safe include Lorene metrics and everything from the Python plug-in.

The default implementation considers that the class itself is thread safe and recurses into the declared properties to check whether they are safe too. Classes that abide to the Object/Property paradigm and are themselves thread-safe have nothing special to do.

Objects that clone children in their copy constructor that are not declared as properties must take these children into account.

Classes that are never thread-safe must declare it. It acn be easily done using GYOTO_OBJECT_THREAD_SAFETY in the class declaration and GYOTO_PROPERTY_THREAD_UNSAFE in the class definition.

◆ kindid() [1/2]

virtual kind_t Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic::kindid ( ) const
virtual

Get kindid_.

You can check whether the Spectrometer sp is of a given kind MyKind with something like:

if (sp->kind()) == MyKind::Kindid;

See Uniform::WaveKind, Uniform::WaveLogKind, Uniform::FreqKind, Uniform::FreqLogKind and Complex::Kind.

◆ kindid() [2/2]

virtual void Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic::kindid ( kind_t  )
virtual

Set Generic::kindid_.

This should rarely be used as the Generic::kindid_ attribute usually is set in the constructor and doesn't change after that.

Always set to the address of a static variable, not to a temporary. Usually your class should have a static member for that purpose:

class MyKind : public Spectrometer::Generic
{
static kind_t Kindid;
};
kind_t MyKind::Kind = "MyKind";
...
SmartPointer<MyKind> sp();
sp->kindid(MyKind::Kindid)

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Spectrometer::Uniform.

◆ property()

Property const* Gyoto::Object::property ( std::string const  pname) const
inherited

Find property by name.

Look into the Property list for a Property whose name (or name_false, for a boolean Property) is pname. Return a const pointer to the first such property found, or NULL if none is found.

◆ setParameter() [1/2]

virtual int Gyoto::Object::setParameter ( std::string  name,
std::string  content,
std::string  unit 
)
virtualinherited

Set parameter by name.

This function is used when parsing an XML description, if no Property of this name is found. Overriding implementation should fall-back on calling the direct's parent implementation:

class A: public Object {};
class B: public A {
using B::setParameter;
virtual int setParameter(std::string name,
std::string content,
std::string unit);
};
int B::setParameter(std::string name,
std::string content,
std::string unit) {
if (name=="Duff") doSomething(content, unit);
else return A::setParameter(name, content, unit);
return 0; // name was known
}
Parameters
nameXML name of the parameter (XML entity). This may have a path component, e.g. "Astrobj::Radius", in which case a property named "Astrobj" will be sought in the current object, and setParameter will be called recusrively on this Astrobj with Radius as name.
contentstring representation of the value
unitstring representation of the unit
Returns
0 if this parameter is known, 1 if it is not.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::Star, Gyoto::Metric::RotStar3_1, Gyoto::Metric::KerrKS, and Gyoto::Astrobj::EquatorialHotSpot.

◆ setParameter() [2/2]

virtual void Gyoto::Object::setParameter ( Gyoto::Property const &  p,
std::string const &  name,
std::string const &  content,
std::string const &  unit 
)
virtualinherited

Set parameter by Property (and name)

This function is used when parsing an XML description, if Property (p) of this name is found (i.e. either p.name or p.name_false is equal to name). Implementation should fall-back on calling the direct's parent implementation:

class A: public Object {};
class B: public A {
using B::setParameter;
virtual void setParameter(Gyoto::Property const &p,
std::string name,
std::string content,
std::string unit);
};
void B::setParameter(Gyoto::Property const &p,
std::string name,
std::string content,
std::string unit) {
if (name=="Duff") doSomething(content, unit);
else A::setParameter(p, name, content, unit);
}
Parameters
pProperty that matches name (p.name == name or p.name_false == name)
nameXML name of the parameter (XML entity)
contentstring representation of the value
unitstring representation of the unit

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::PolishDoughnut.

◆ setParameters()

virtual void Gyoto::Object::setParameters ( Gyoto::FactoryMessenger fmp)
virtualinherited

Main loop for parsing Properties from XML description.

This function queries the FactoryMessenger for elements to parse, and tries to matche each element to a Property to set it accordingly.

Any class that tries to be buildable from XML must supply a subcontractor (for base classes such as Metric, Astrobj, Spectrum and Spectrometer, it is done as a template that must be specialized for each class).

This subcontractor typically looks somewhat like this:

SmartPointer<Metric::Generic>
Gyoto::Metric::MyKind::Subcontractor(FactoryMessenger* fmp) {
SmartPointer<MyKind> gg = new MyKind();
gg -> setParameters(fmp);
return gg;
}
 Although this is discouraged, it is possible to override the
 following functions to customize how XML entities are parsed:
   - setParameters() if low-level access to the
     FactoryMessenger is required;
   - setParameter(std::string name,
                  std::string content,
                  std::string unit)
     to interpret an entity that does not match a Property
     (e.g. alternative name);
   - setParameter(Gyoto::Property const &p,
                  std::string const &name,
                  std::string const &content,
                  std::string const &unit)
     to change how a Property is interpreted.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic, Gyoto::Photon, Gyoto::Astrobj::Star, Gyoto::Spectrometer::Complex, Gyoto::Spectrometer::Uniform, Gyoto::Astrobj::Complex, Gyoto::Astrobj::OscilTorus, Gyoto::Astrobj::EquatorialHotSpot, Gyoto::Metric::Complex, and Gyoto::Metric::Shift.

◆ tellListeners()

virtual void Gyoto::Hook::Teller::tellListeners ( )
protectedvirtualinherited

Call tell() on each hooked Listener.

Whenever a Teller mutates, it should warn any Listener hooked to it using tellListeners().

◆ unhook()

virtual void Gyoto::Hook::Teller::unhook ( Listener listener)
virtualinherited

Stop listening.

Use from a Hook::Listener object method:

teller->unhook(this)

where "this" is a Listener, "teller" is a Teller, and "this" has called teller->hook(this) previously.

Parameters
listenerpointer to the listener
