Detailed Description

template<int cd, int dim, class GridImp, template< int, int, class > class EntityImp>
class Dune::Entity< cd, dim, GridImp, EntityImp >

Wrapper class for entities.

Template Parameters
cdCodimension of the entity
dimDimension of the grid
GridImpType that is a model of Dune::Grid
EntityImpClass template that is a model of Dune::Entity

Engine Concept

This class wraps a object of type EntityImp and forwards all member function calls to corresponding members of this class. In that sense Entity defines the interface and EntityImp supplies the implementation. For various reasons we do not use an inheritance hierarchy and the Barton-Nackman trick here.

Specialization

The Entity class template is specialized for cd=0 (elements, Dune::Entity<0,dim,GridImp,EntityImp>). This case has an extended interface. The methods defined in the general template are provided by the specialization as well. We did not use inheritance because different implementations for different codimensions may be required and virtual functions had to be avoided.

View concept

Entities can not be created, assigned or otherwise modified outside the interface in the user code. They are only accessible by immutable iterators provided on the corresponding grid class.

The only way to modify the entities of a grid is through grid adaptation which consists of tagging entities (of codimension 0) for refinement and then calling the adapt() method on the grid.

Member Function Documentation

◆ geometry()

template<int cd, int dim, class GridImp , template< int, int, class > class EntityImp>
Geometry Dune::Entity< cd, dim, GridImp, EntityImp >::geometry ( ) const
inline

obtain geometric realization of the entity

Each entity provides an object of type Dune::Geometry< dimension-codimension, dimensionworld, ... > that represents the map from a reference element to world coordinates.

Note
Previously, the geometry was encapsulated in the entity object and a const reference was returned.
The returned geometry object is guaranteed to remain valid until the grid is modified (or deleted).

◆ operator!=()

template<int cd, int dim, class GridImp , template< int, int, class > class EntityImp>
template<typename ItImp >
bool Dune::Entity< cd, dim, GridImp, EntityImp >::operator!= ( const Dune::EntityPointer< GridImp, ItImp > &  other) const
inline

Compares an Entity with an EntityPointer for inequality.
