Detailed Description

Loader for Python classes implementing the Spectrum interface.

It interfaces with a Python class which must implement at least the call method.

Sample XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

The goal of this example is to exhibit using a Metric and a Spectrum
coded in Python. It is functionaly equivalent to
example-fixed-star-minkowski-cartesian.xml in the main Gyoto example
directory.
An optically thin blob centered on the origin of the coordinate
system, in flat space-time. Computation uses the Cartesian
coordinates.

Sample Python module:

'''Sample spectra for using with Gyoto Python plug-in
Those classes demonstrate how to use Python classes as Gyoto
Spectrum implementations using Gyoto's "python" plug-in. Note that
this plug-in can be renamed to whatever matches the particular
version of Python it has been built against (e.g. python3.4).
The goal is to be able to instantiate these from XML, from
Yorick... and even from Python using the gyoto extension...

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().

Member Function Documentation

◆ 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.

◆ getProperties()

virtual Property const* Gyoto::Spectrum::Python::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::Spectrum::Generic.

◆ help()

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

Print (to stdout) some help on this class.

Describe all properties that this instance supports.

◆ inlineModule()

virtual void Gyoto::Spectrum::Python::inlineModule ( const std::string &  )
virtual

Set inline_module_ and import the Python module.

Side effects:

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Python::Base.

◆ integrate() [1/2]

virtual double Gyoto::Spectrum::Generic::integrate ( double  nu1,
double  nu2,
const Spectrum::Generic opacity,
double  ds 
)
virtualinherited

Integrate optically thin I_nu.

See operator()(double nu, double opacity, double ds) const

Parameters
nu1,nu2boundaries for the integration
opacitythe frequency-dependent opacity law given as a pointer to a Gyoto::Spectrum::Generic sub-class instance
dsthe element length for spatial integration
Returns
I, the integral of I_nu between nu1 and nu2

◆ integrate() [2/2]

virtual double Gyoto::Spectrum::Python::integrate ( double  nu1,
double  nu2 
)
virtual

Integrate optically thick I_nu.

See operator()(double nu) const

Parameters
nu1,nu2boundaries for the integration
Returns
I, the integral of I_nu between nu1 and nu2

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Spectrum::Generic.

◆ 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.

◆ klass()

virtual void Gyoto::Spectrum::Python::klass ( const std::string &  c)
virtual

Set class_ and instantiate the Python class.

Sets pInstance_.

This generic implementation takes care of the common ground, but does not set 'this' or call parameters(parameters_). Therefore, all the derived classes should reimplement this method and at least call Python::Base::klass(c) and parameters(parameters_). Between the two is the right moment to check that the Python class implements the required API and to cache PyObject* pointers to class methods.

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Python::Base.

◆ module()

virtual void Gyoto::Spectrum::Python::module ( const std::string &  )
virtual

Set module_ and import the Python module.

Side effects:

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Python::Base.

◆ operator()()

virtual double Gyoto::Spectrum::Python::operator() ( double  nu,
double  opacity,
double  ds 
) const
virtual

I_nu in optically thin regime.

Generic implementation assumes emissivity = opacity.

Parameters
nufrequency in Hz
opacitysuch that opacity*ds=optical thickness.
dsin geometrical units

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Spectrum::Generic.

◆ parameters()

virtual void Gyoto::Spectrum::Python::parameters ( const std::vector< double > &  )
virtual

Set parameters_ and send them to pInstance_.

The parameters are sent to the class instance using the setitem method with numerical keys.

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Python::Base.

◆ 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.
