Detailed Description

Metric coded in Python.

Loader for Python Metric classes. It interfaces with a Python class which must implement at least the methods detailed below.

Use <Cartesian> or </Spherical> to select the coordinate system kind.

Sample XML file:

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

Intensity[mJy/µas²]
Intensity[J.m-2.s-1.sr-1.Hz-1]
Intensity[erg.cm-2.s-1.sr-1.Hz-1]

Sample Python module:

'''Sample metrics for using with Gyoto Python plug-in
Those classes demonstrate how to use Python classes as Gyoto
Metric 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...
Synopsis:
import gyoto.core
gyoto.core.requirePlugin("python") # or python2.7 or python3.4...
gg=gyoto.core.Metric("Python")
gg.set("Module", "gyoto_sample_metric")
gg.set("Class", "Minkowski")
Classes that aim at implementing the Gyoto::Metric::Generic
interface do so by providing the following methods:
gmunu(self, dst, pos): mandatory;
christoffel(self, dst, pos): mandatory
__setattr__(self, key, value): optional
__setitem__(self, key, value): optional
'''
import math
import numpy
import gyoto.core
class Minkowski:
'''Flat space metric
Implemented for both Cartesian and spherical coordinates.
Every Gyoto Metric implemented in Python must implement the three
methods illustrated here.
'''
def __setattr__(self, key, value):
'''Set attributes.
Optional.
C++ will set several attributes. By overloading __setattr__,
on can react when that occurs, in particular to make sure this
knows the coordinate kind as in this example.
Attributes set by the C++ layer:
this: if the Python extension "gyoto.core" can be imported, it
will be set to a gyoto.core.Metric instance pointing to the
C++-side instance. If the "gyoto.core" extension cannot be
loaded, this will be set to None.
spherical: when the spherical(bool t) method is called in
the C++ layer, it sets the spherical attribute in the
Python side.
mass: when the mass(double m) method is called in the C++
side, it sets the spherical attribute in the Python
side.
This example initializes coordKind in the C++ side if it is
not already set, since this Minkowski class can work in
either.
'''
# First, actually store the attribute. This is what would
# happen if we did not overload __setattr__.
self.__dict__[key]=value
# Then, if key is "this", ensure this knows a valid coordKind.
if (key is "this"):
cK=value.coordKind()
if cK is gyoto.core.GYOTO_COORDKIND_UNSPECIFIED:
value.set("Spherical", False)
# We could do without this, since this will tell us later
# anyway.

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().

◆ circularVelocity()

virtual void Gyoto::Metric::Generic::circularVelocity ( double const  pos[4],
double  vel[4],
double  dir = 1. 
) const
virtualinherited

Yield circular velocity at a given position.

Give the velocity of a massive particle in circular orbit at the given position projected onto the equatorial plane. Such a velocity may not exist everywhere (or anywhere) for a given metric. This method is intended to be used by Astrobj classes such as Torus or ThinDisk.

If keplerian_ is set to true, this method should return the Keplerian velcity instead (derived classes should ensure this, see KerrBL::circularVelocity() for instance).

The default implementation throws an error if keplerian_ is set to false.

Parameters
posinput: position,
veloutput: velocity,
dir1 for corotating, -1 for counterrotating.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Metric::KerrBL, Gyoto::Metric::KerrKS, Gyoto::Metric::Hayward, Gyoto::Metric::RezzollaZhidenko, and Gyoto::Metric::ChernSimons.

◆ coordKind()

void Gyoto::Metric::Generic::coordKind ( int  coordkind)
protectedinherited

Set coordkind_.

coordkind(int coordkind) is protected because, for most Metrics, it should not be changed in runtime.Set coordinate kind

◆ deltaMax() [1/3]

double Gyoto::Metric::Generic::deltaMax ( ) const
inherited

Get delta_max_

◆ deltaMax() [2/3]

virtual double Gyoto::Metric::Generic::deltaMax ( double const  pos[8],
double  delta_max_external 
) const
virtualinherited

Parameters
pos4-position
[optional]delta_max_external external constraint on delta_max

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.

◆ dualOneForm()

void Gyoto::Metric::Generic::dualOneForm ( double const  IN_ARRAY1_1[4],
double const  IN_ARRAY1_2[4],

inherited

Computes dual 1-form Compute the dual 1-form of 4-vector.

Parameters
IN_ARRAY1_14-position;
IN_ARRAY1_2quadrivector;
[out]ARGOUT_ARRAY1output 1-form

◆ 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.

◆ isStopCondition()

virtual int Gyoto::Metric::Generic::isStopCondition ( double const  coord[8]) const
virtualinherited

Check whether integration should stop.

The integrating loop will ask this the Metric through this method whether or not it is happy to continue the integration. Typically, the Metric should answer 0 when everything is fine, 1 when too close to the event horizon, inside the BH...

Parameters
coord8-coordinate vector to check.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Metric::Complex, and Gyoto::Metric::Shift.

◆ 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::Metric::Python::klass ( const std::string &  c)
virtual

Set class_ and instantiate the Python class.

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.

◆ 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.

Returns
tdot = dx0/dtau.

◆ 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

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

◆ unitLength()

double Gyoto::Metric::Generic::unitLength ( ) const
inherited

M * G / c^2, M is in kg, unitLength in meters.

Metrics implementations are free to express lengths and distances in whatever unit they see fit (presumably most often geometrical units). This function returns this unit in SI (meters).

◆ zamoVelocity()

virtual void Gyoto::Metric::Generic::zamoVelocity ( double const  pos[4],
double  vel[4] 
) const
virtualinherited

Yield ZAMO velocity at a given position.

Give the velocity of a zero angular momentul observer (whatever is closest to "at rest"). The default implementation simply projects (1, 0, 0, 0) othogonally along ephi and normalizes it, thus ensuring that vel is orthogonal to ephi.

Parameters
posinput: position,
veloutput: velocity,

protectedinherited

Name of the Python module that holds the class.

For instance, if the class is implemented in toto.py, the module name is "toto". Property name: Module.
