Detailed Description

Refine last step of integration in a Photon.

The integration step of a Photon's geodesic is adaptive. This is computationally efficient, but sometimes it is necessary to get the position of a Photon with a finer step. Gyoto::ComplexAstrobj::Impact() is a typical use case.

A Refined photon is linked to its parent. In particular, care is taken so that the parent's to update the parent's transmissions whenever the Refined transmissions are touched.

Don't use this class blindly: what's guaranteed to work is what is used in Gyoto::ComplexAstrobj::Impact().

XML description corresponding to this class is <Photon/>. It supports all the parameters supported by the Gyoto::Worldline class plus an optional <Astrobj/> section to attach a instance of a Gyoto::Astrobj::Generic sub-class.

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

◆ checkPhiTheta()

void Gyoto::Worldline::checkPhiTheta ( double  coord[8]) const
inherited

Bring θ in [0,Π] and φ in [0,2Π].

checkPhiTheta() Modifies coord if the corrdinates are spherical-like so that coord[2]=theta is in [0,pi] and coord[3]=phi is in [0,2pi]. Important to use in all astrobj in spherical coordinates to prevent "z-axis problems".

◆ className()

virtual std::string Gyoto::Photon::className ( ) const
virtualinherited

"Photon"

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Worldline.

◆ className_l()

virtual std::string Gyoto::Photon::className_l ( ) const
virtualinherited

"photon"

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Worldline.

◆ delta()

void Gyoto::Worldline::delta ( const double  delta)
inherited

Expand memory slots for polarization vectors.

Assignment to another Worldline Set delta_

◆ deltaMax() [1/2]

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

Get delta max at a given position

Parameters
[in]pos4-position
[in]delta_max_externalexternal constraint on delta_max
Returns
the smallest value between delta_max_, delta_max_external, and R*delta_max_over_r_ where R is pos[1] in spherical coordinates and max(x1, x2, x3) in Cartesian coordinates.

◆ deltaMax() [2/2]

void Gyoto::Worldline::deltaMax ( double  h1)
inherited

Set delta_max_

◆ 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.

◆ eAllocate()

virtual void Gyoto::Worldline::eAllocate ( )
protectedvirtualinherited

Allocate ep0_ ... et3_.

Allocate memory for polarization vectors

◆ eDeallocate()

virtual void Gyoto::Worldline::eDeallocate ( )
protectedvirtualinherited

Deallocate ep0_ ... et3_.

Deallocate memory for polarization vectors

◆ eExpand()

virtual void Gyoto::Worldline::eExpand ( int  dir)
protectedvirtualinherited

Call xExpand(double * &x, int dir) on #ep0_, ep1_ etc.

◆ 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.

Object with properties.
Definition: GyotoObject.h:152
virtual void fillProperty(Gyoto::FactoryMessenger *fmp, Property const &p) const

◆ findMin()

double Gyoto::Photon::findMin ( Functor::Double_constDoubleArray object,
double  t1,
double  t2,
double &  tmin,
double  threshold = DBL_MIN 
)
inherited

Find minimum of photon–object distance.

Return the minimum of (*object)(this->getCoord()) between t1 and t2. The date of this minimum is returned in tmin.

Parameters
[in]objectthe distance to minimize is given by object->operator()(). This method is in particular implemented by the subclasses of Astrobj::Standard.
[in]t1date
[in]t2date
[out]tminon output, date correspondig to the minimum
[in]thresholdstop searching for a minimum if a value < threshold is found (very often, we just want to find a date below the threshold, not the accurate minimum).

◆ findValue()

void Gyoto::Photon::findValue ( Functor::Double_constDoubleArray object,
double  value,
double  tinside,
double &  toutside 
)
inherited

Find date for which the photon is at a given distance from the object.

Parameters
[in]objectObject, must implement operator() (e.g. Astrobj::Standard, ThinDisk::Standard)
[in]valueThe value to find
[in]tinsideA date for which object->Astrobj::operator()(Photon::getCoord()) is < value
[in,out]toutsideOn input: a date for which object->Astrobj::operator()(Photon::getCoord()) is > value. on output, (*object)(getCoord(toutside)) is < value, very close to value. toutside is closer to tinside on output than on input.

◆ getCartesian()

void Gyoto::Worldline::getCartesian ( double const *const  dates,
size_t const  n_dates,
double *const  x,
double *const  y,
double *const  z,
double *const  xprime = NULL,
double *const  yprime = NULL,
double *const  zprime = NULL 
)
inherited

Get the 6 Cartesian coordinates for specific dates.

The 6 coordinates (x, y, z, dx/dt, dy/dt, dz/dt) will be computed using the integrator and interpolated if necessary, so they will be as accurate as possible. Transforming to Cartesian coordinates is not necessarily meaningful.

Parameters
[in]datesList of dates for which the coordinates are to be computed;
[in]n_datesNumber of dates to compute ;
[out]x,y,z,xprime,yprime,zprimeArrays in which to store the result. These pointer may be set to NULL to retrieve only part of the information. Else, they must be pre-allocated.

◆ getCoord() [1/5]

void Gyoto::Worldline::getCoord ( double *  x0,
double *  x1,
double *  x2,
double *  x3 
) const
inherited

Get all computed positions.

Get all the pre-computed 8 coordinates (e.g. thanks to a prior call to xFill()) of this worldline.

◆ getCoord() [2/5]

void Gyoto::Worldline::getCoord ( double const *const  dates,
size_t const  n_dates,
double *const  x1dest,
double *const  x2dest,
double *const  x3dest,

double *  et0 = NULL,
double *  et1 = NULL,
double *  et2 = NULL,
double *  et3 = NULL,
double *  otime = NULL,
bool  proper = false 
)
inherited

Get 8-coordinates for specific dates.

The coordinates will be computed using the integrator, so they will be as accurate as possible. Some heuristics are used to speed up the process and it is presumably faster to call this routine with a sorted list of dates. The line will be integrated further as required. An error will be thrown if it is not possible to reach a certain date.

Parameters
[in]datesthe list of dates for which the coordinates are to be computed in proper time or affine parameter if #proper is true or in coordinate time if #proper is false (default);
[in]n_datesthe number of dates to compute ;
[out]x1dest,x2dest,x3dest,x0dot,x1dot,x2dot,x3dotarrays in which to store the result. These pointer may be set to NULL to retrieve only part of the information. They must be pre-allocated.
[out]ephi0,ephi1,ephi2,ephi3,etheta0,etheta1,etheta2,etheta3arrays in which to store the ephi and etheta (parallel transport case). These pointer may be set to NULL to retrieve only part of the information. They must be pre-allocated.
[out]otimearray in which to store the other time: coordinate time if #proper, else proper time or affine parameter.
[in]properbool: whether #dates is proper time (or affine parameter) or coordinate time.

◆ getCoord() [3/5]

void Gyoto::Worldline::getCoord ( double  date,
Gyoto::state_t &  dest,
bool  proper = false 
)
inherited

Get coordinates+base vectors corresponding to date dest[0].

◆ 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.

)
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 {};

virtual void setParameter(Gyoto::Property const &p,
std::string name,
std::string content,
std::string unit);
};
void B::setParameter(Gyoto::Property const &p,

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 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

◆ setParameters()

virtual void Gyoto::Photon::setParameters ( 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<MyKind> gg = new MyKind();
gg -> setParameters(fmp);
return gg;
}
virtual void setParameters(FactoryMessenger *fmp)
Main loop for parsing Properties from XML description.
Pointers performing reference counting.
Definition: GyotoSmartPointer.h:135
SmartPointer< Astrobj::Generic > Subcontractor(FactoryMessenger *fmp, std::vector< std::string > const &plugin)
A template for Subcontractor_t functions.
Definition: GyotoAstrobj.h:76
 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.
