'''Sample Astrobj::Standard for using with Gyoto Python plug-in

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().

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ~Standard()

Gyoto::Astrobj::Python::Standard::~Standard ( )
virtual

Destructor: does nothing.

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Astrobj::Standard.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

Standard * Gyoto::Astrobj::Python::Standard::clone ( ) const
virtual

Cloner.

This method must be implemented by the various Astrobj::Generic subclasses in order to support cloning:

SmartPointer<Astrobj> deep_copy = original->clone();
Pointers performing reference counting.
Definition: GyotoSmartPointer.h:135

Cloning is necessary for multi-threading, recommended for interaction with the Yorick plug-in etc.

Implementing it is very straightforward, as long as the copy constructor Generic(const Generic& ) has been implemented:

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

Implements Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic.

◆ deltaInObj()

double Gyoto::Astrobj::Standard::deltaInObj ( ) const
inherited

Get Generic::delta_inobj_.

Get the constant integration step inside the astrobj

Returns
delta_inobj_ in geometrical units

◆ deltaMax()

virtual double Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::deltaMax ( double  coord[8])
virtualinherited

Get max step constraint for adaptive integration.

Parameters
[in]coordposition
Returns
max step to find this object reliably

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::Complex.

◆ 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.

◆ emission() [1/2]

virtual void Gyoto::Astrobj::Python::Standard::emission ( double  Inu[],
double const  nu_em[],
size_t  nbnu,
double  dsem,
state_t const &  coord_ph,
double const  coord_obj[8] = NULL 
) const
virtual

Specific intensity Iν for several values of νem

Called by the default implementation for processHitQuantities().

emission() computes the intensity Iν emitted by the small volume of length dsem. It should take self-absorption along dsem into account.

Same as emission(double nu_em, double dsem, double coord_ph[8], double coord_obj[8]=NULL) const looping on several values of nu_em.

Parameters
Inu[nbnu]Output (must be set to a previously allocated array of doubles)
nu_em[nbnu]Frequencies at emission
nbnuSize of Inu[] and nu_em[]
dsemLength over which to integrate inside the object
coord_phPhoton coordinate
coord_objEmitter coordinate at current photon position
Returns
Iν or dIν [W m-2 sr-2]

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic.

◆ emission() [2/2]

virtual double Gyoto::Astrobj::Python::Standard::emission ( double  nu_em,
double  dsem,
state_t const &  coord_ph,
double const  coord_obj[8] = NULL 
) const
virtual

Specific intensity Iν

Called by the default implementation for processHitQuantities().

emission() computes the intensity Iν emitted by the small volume of length dsem, in the emitter's frame. It should take self-absorption along dsem into account.

Reminder :

  • intensity = Iν [J m^-2 s^-1 ster^-1 Hz^-1];
  • invariant intensity = Iν3, which has the same value in any frame;
  • emission coefficient = jν [J m^-3 s^-1 ster^-1 Hz^-1] , defined by dIν = jν*ds, where ds is the distance travelled by the photon inside the object;
  • invariant emission coef = jν2, which has the same value in any frame.

The equation used for radiative transfer (without absorption) is:

d(Iν3)/dλ = (jν2) [*]

where λ is the integration parameter along the null geodesic.

NB: Let us consider a particular observer, with ν being the frequency measured by this observer, and ds being the proper distance (as measured by the observer) that the photon travels as it moves from λ to λ+dλ along its geodesic. Then it can be shown that:

dλ = ds/ν

This shows that Eq. [*] is homogeneous.

The default implementation returns 1. if optically thick and dsem if optically thin. It allows for a quick implementation of your object for visualization purposes.

Parameters
nu_emFrequency at emission [Hz]
dsemlength over which to integrate inside the object [geometrical units]
coord_phPhoton coordinate
coord_objEmitter coordinate at current photon position

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic.

◆ 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::Astrobj::Complex, Gyoto::Spectrometer::Complex, and Gyoto::Scenery.

◆ 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);
}
Factory / SmartPointee::Subcontractor_t interface.
Definition: GyotoFactoryMessenger.h:92
Object with properties.
Definition: GyotoObject.h:152
virtual void fillProperty(Gyoto::FactoryMessenger *fmp, Property const &p) const
Output a single Property to XML.
Property that can be set and got using standard methods.
Definition: GyotoProperty.h:608

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

◆ getDefaultQuantities()

virtual Gyoto::Quantity_t Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::getDefaultQuantities ( )
virtualinherited

Which quantities to compute if know was requested.

Return a Gyoto::Quantity_t suitable as input to Gyoto::Scenery::setRequestedQuantities() to set de default quantities to compute for this object. The default of these defaults GYOTO_QUANTITY_INTENSITY.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::PageThorneDisk.

◆ getProperties()

virtual Property const * Gyoto::Astrobj::Python::Standard::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::Astrobj::Standard.

◆ getVelocity()

virtual void Gyoto::Astrobj::Python::Standard::getVelocity ( double const  pos[4],
double  vel[4] 
)
virtual

Fluid velocity field.

Fill vel with the 4-vector velocity of the fluid at 4-position pos.

Parameters
[in]pos4-position at which to compute velocity;
[out]vel4-velocity at pos.

Implements Gyoto::Astrobj::Standard.

◆ giveDelta()

virtual double Gyoto::Astrobj::Python::Standard::giveDelta ( double  coord[8])
virtual

Maximum δ inside object.

Gives the requested integration step δt (in coordinate time t) between two neighbooring points along a portion of geodesic inside an astrobj; the current implementation only considers a constant delta, equal to Standard::deltaInobj()

Parameters
coordinput coordinate at which δt is given

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Astrobj::Standard.

◆ help()

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

Print (to stdout) some help on this class.

Describe all properties that this instance supports.

◆ Impact()

virtual int Gyoto::Astrobj::Standard::Impact ( Gyoto::Photon ph,
size_t  index,
Astrobj::Properties data = NULL 
)
virtualinherited

Does a photon at these coordinates impact the object?

Impact() checks whether a Photon impacts the object between two integration steps of the photon's trajectory (those two steps are photon->getCoord(index, coord1) and photon->getCoord(index+1, coord2)). Impact returns 1 if the photon impacts the object between these two steps, else 0. In many cases of geometrically thick obects, the implementation Astrobj::Standard::Impact() will be fine.

Impact will call Generic::processHitQuantities() (which is virtual and may be re-implemented) to compute observable properties on demand: if the data pointer is non-NULL, the object will look in it for pointers to properties which apply to its kind. If a pointer to a property known to this object is present, then the property is computed and store at the pointed-to address. For instance, all objects know the "intensity" property. If data->intensity != NULL, the instensity is computed and stored in *data->intensity.

If data is non-NULL and only in this case, processHitQuantities() will also call ph->transmit() to update the transmissions of the Photon (see Photon::transmit(size_t, double)). This must not be done if data is NULL (see Astrobj::Complex::Impact() for an explanation).

Impact() may not extend the ph Worldline. The only two dates that are guaranteed to be defined are at indices index and index+1.

Parameters
phGyoto::Photon aimed at the object;
indexIndex of the last photon step;
dataPointer to a structure to hold the observables at impact.
Returns
1 if impact, 0 if not.

Implements Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::InflateStar, and Gyoto::Astrobj::PolishDoughnut.

◆ inlineModule() [1/2]

Return inline_module_.

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Python::Base.

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

Set inline_module_ and import the Python module.

Side effects:

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Python::Base.

◆ integrateEmission() [1/2]

virtual void Gyoto::Astrobj::Python::Standard::integrateEmission ( double *  I,
double const *  boundaries,
size_t const *  chaninds,
size_t  nbnu,
double  dsem,
state_t const &  cph,
double const *  co 
) const
virtual

◆ integrateEmission() [2/2]

virtual double Gyoto::Astrobj::Python::Standard::integrateEmission ( double  nu1,
double  nu2,
double  dsem,
state_t const &  c_ph,
double const  c_obj[8] = NULL 
) const
virtual

ν1ν2 Iν dν (or jν)

Compute the integral of emission() from ν1 to ν2. The default implementation is a numerical integrator which works well enough and is reasonably fast if emission() is a smooth function (i.e. no emission or absorption lines). If possible, it is wise to implement an analytical solution. It is used by processHitQuantities to compute the "BinSpectrum" quantity which is the most physical: it is the only quantity that can be actually measured directly by a real-life instrument.

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Astrobj::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() [1/2]

virtual std::string Gyoto::Astrobj::Python::Standard::klass ( ) const
virtual

Retrieve class_.

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Python::Base.

◆ klass() [2/2]

virtual void Gyoto::Astrobj::Python::Standard::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.

◆ operator()() [1/2]

virtual double Gyoto::Astrobj::Python::Standard::operator() ( double const  coord[4])
virtual

Function defining the object interior.

A potential, distance, or whatever function such that operator()(double const coord[4]) < Standard::critical_value_ if and only if coord is inside the object. This function is used by the default implmenetation of Impact(). If Impact() is overloaded, it is not necessary to overload operator()(double coord[4]). The default implementation throws an error.

Implements Gyoto::Astrobj::Standard.

◆ opticallyThin() [2/2]

void Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::opticallyThin ( bool  flag)
inherited

Set whether the object is optically thin.

Set flag indicating that radiative transfer should be integrated, i.e. the object is to be considered optically thin.

Parameters
flag1 if optically thin, 0 if optically thick.

◆ parameters() [1/2]

virtual std::vector< double > Gyoto::Astrobj::Python::Standard::parameters ( ) const
virtual

Retrieve parameters_.

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Python::Base.

◆ parameters() [2/2]

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

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

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Python::Base.

◆ processHitQuantities()

virtual void Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::processHitQuantities ( Photon ph,
state_t const &  coord_ph_hit,
double const *  coord_obj_hit,
double  dt,
Astrobj::Properties data 
) const
virtualinherited

Fills Astrobj::Properties.

processHitQuantities fills the requested data in Impact. To use it, you need to call it in the Impact() method for your object in case of hit. It will fill Redshift, Intensity, Spectrum, BinSpectrum and update the Photon's transmission by calling Photon::transmit(), only if data==NULL.

You can overload it for your Astrobj. The generic implementation calls emission(), integrateEmission() and transmission() below.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::PageThorneDisk, and Gyoto::Astrobj::DynamicalDiskBolometric.

◆ property()

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

)
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);
}
virtual int setParameter(std::string name, std::string content, std::string unit)
Set parameter by name.
Parameters
pProperty that matches name (p.name == name or p.name_false == name)
nameXML name of the parameter (XML entity)

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::PolishDoughnut.

◆ setParameter() [2/2]

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

◆ setParameters()

virtual void Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic::setParameters ( FactoryMessenger fmp)
virtualinherited

Main loop in Subcontractor_t function.

The Subcontractor_t function for each Astrobj kind should look somewhat like this (templated as Gyoto::Astrobj::Subcontractor<MyKind>):

SmartPointer<MyKind> ao = new MyKind();
ao -> setParameters(fmp);
return ao;
}
virtual void setParameters(FactoryMessenger *fmp)
Main loop in Subcontractor_t function.
SmartPointer< Astrobj::Generic > Subcontractor(FactoryMessenger *fmp, std::vector< std::string > const &plugin)
A template for Subcontractor_t functions.
Definition: GyotoAstrobj.h:76

Each object kind should implement setParameter(string name, string content, string unit) to interpret the individual XML elements. setParameters() can be overloaded in case the specific Astrobj class needs low level access to the FactoryMessenger. See UniformSphere::setParameters().

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Object.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Astrobj::Complex, Gyoto::Astrobj::EquatorialHotSpot, Gyoto::Astrobj::Star, and Gyoto::Astrobj::OscilTorus.
