Detailed Description

Complex spectrometer object.

A Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic whic contain several Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic instances. It is essentially a SmartPointer<Spectrometer::Generic> array, which some methods arround. Indeed, the operator[](size_t i) method is implemented to retrieve the i-th element.

In an XML description, the <Spectrometer> section is unique, its kind is "Complex". Each sub-spectrometer then appears as a <SubSpectrometer> subsection. For instance, to compute 10 channels ovr the K infrared band plus 10 channels in the high energy domain:

<Spectrometer kind = "Complex">
  <SubSpectrometer kind = "wave" nsamples=10 unit="µm">
    2.0 2.4
  </SubSpectrometer>
  <SubSpectrometer kind = "freqlog" nsamples=10 unit="eV">
    14 22
  </SubSpectrometer>
</Spectrometer>

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

~Complex()

virtual Gyoto::Spectrometer::Complex::~Complex ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Frees every SmartPointer<Spectrometer::Generic> before freed the array itself.

Member Function Documentation

append()

void Gyoto::Spectrometer::Complex::append

(

Gyoto::SmartPointer< Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic >

element

)

Add element at the end of the array.

If the Spectrometer::Complex itself does not have a metric already assigned, it takes it from the new element. Else, it sets the metric in the new element to its own. This ensures that all elements use the same metric (this heuristic is not entirely fool-proof, it's safer to set the metric directly in the Spectrometer::Complex).

clone()

virtual Complex * Gyoto::Spectrometer::Complex::clone ( ) const

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); }

Implements Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic.

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::Spectrometer::Complex::fillElement ( FactoryMessenger *  fmp ) const

virtual

Fill in the XML entity.

Loops on elements_[i]->fillElement();

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Object.

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;
 virtual void fillProperty(Gyoto::FactoryMessenger *fmp,
                        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::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.

getChannelBoundaries()

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

virtualinherited

Copy Generic::boundaries_, converting to unit.

Parameters

data	an array of Generic::nboundaries_ doubles to fill with result
unit	a string

getMidpoints()

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

virtualinherited

Copy Generic::midpoints_, converting to unit.

Parameters

data	an array of Generic::nsamples_ doubles to fill with result
unit	a string

getProperties()

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

virtualinherited

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  )

virtualinherited

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

data	an array of Generic::nboundaries_ doubles to fill with result
unit	a 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

listener

pointer 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

virtualinherited

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.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Spectrometer::Uniform.

kindid() [2/2]

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

virtualinherited

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, and Gyoto::Spectrometer::Uniform.

nSamples()

virtual size_t Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic::nSamples ( ) const

virtualinherited

Get Generic::nsamples_.

Reimplemented in Gyoto::Spectrometer::Uniform.

operator[]()

Gyoto::SmartPointer< Gyoto::Spectrometer::Generic > & Gyoto::Spectrometer::Complex::operator[]

(

size_t

i

)

Retrieve i-th element.

 This should work as expected:

SmartPointer<Spectrometer::Complex> cplx;
SmartPointer<Spectrometer::TypeA> objA;
SmartPointer<Spectrometer::TypeB> objB;
cplx -> append(objA);
cplx[0] = objB;

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 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

p	Property that matches name (p.name == name or p.name_false == name)
name	XML name of the parameter (XML entity)
content	string representation of the value
unit	string representation of the unit

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

name	XML 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.
content	string representation of the value
unit	string 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::Spectrometer::Complex::setParameters ( FactoryMessenger *  fmp )

virtual

Main loop in the (templated) subcontractor.

In the case of Spectrometer::Complex, the setParameter() API is not sufficient: setParameters() needs access to the FactoryMessenger to instantiate children for the SubSpectrometers.

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Object.

tell()

virtual void Gyoto::Spectrometer::Complex::tell ( Gyoto::Hook::Teller *  msg )

virtual

This is how a Teller tells.

A teller will basically call listener->tell(this).

Parameters

msg	Teller* the Teller who is telling... Useful if the Listener listens to several Tellers.

Reimplemented from Gyoto::Hook::Listener.

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

listener

pointer to the listener
