Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ VTKWriter()

template<class GridView >

Dune::VTKWriter< GridView >::VTKWriter	(	const GridView &	gridView,
		VTK::DataMode	dm = `VTK::conforming`
	)

inlineexplicit

Construct a VTKWriter working on a specific GridView.

Parameters

gridView	The gridView the grid functions live on. (E. g. a LevelGridView.)
dm	The data mode.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addCellData() [1/3]

template<class GridView >

template<class V >

void Dune::VTKWriter< GridView >::addCellData	(	const V &	v,
		const std::string &	name,
		int	ncomps = `1`
	)

inline

Add a grid function (represented by container) that lives on the cells of the grid to the visualization.

The container has to have random access via operator[] (e. g. std::vector). The value of the grid function for an arbitrary element will be accessed by calling operator[] with the index (corresponding to the index from the MGMC mapper on the grid view) of the element. For vector valued data all components for an element are assumed to be consecutive.

Parameters

v	The container with the values of the grid function for each cell.
name	A name to identify the grid function.
ncomps	Number of components (default is 1).

◆ addCellData() [2/3]

template<class GridView >

void Dune::VTKWriter< GridView >::addCellData ( const VTKFunctionPtr & p )

inline

Add a grid function that lives on the cells of the grid to the visualization.

Parameters

p	Dune::shared_ptr to the function to visualize

◆ addCellData() [3/3]

template<class GridView >

void Dune::VTKWriter< GridView >::addCellData ( VTKFunction * p )

Add a grid function that lives on the cells of the grid to the visualization.

Parameters

p	The function to visualize. The VTKWriter object will take ownership of the VTKFunction *p and delete it when it's done.

◆ addVertexData() [1/3]

template<class GridView >

template<class V >

void Dune::VTKWriter< GridView >::addVertexData	(	const V &	v,
		const std::string &	name,
		int	ncomps = `1`
	)

inline

Add a grid function (represented by container) that lives on the vertices of the grid to the visualization output.

The container has to have random access via operator[] (e. g. std::vector). The value of the grid function for an arbitrary element will be accessed by calling operator[] with the index (corresponding to the index from the MGMC mapper on the grid view) of the vertex. For vector valued data all components for a vertex are assumed to be consecutive.

Parameters

v	The container with the values of the grid function for each vertex.
name	A name to identify the grid function.
ncomps	Number of components (default is 1).

◆ addVertexData() [2/3]

template<class GridView >

void Dune::VTKWriter< GridView >::addVertexData ( const VTKFunctionPtr & p )

inline

Add a grid function that lives on the vertices of the grid to the visualization.

Parameters

p	Dune::shared_ptr to the function to visualize

◆ addVertexData() [3/3]

template<class GridView >

void Dune::VTKWriter< GridView >::addVertexData ( VTKFunction * p )

Add a grid function that lives on the vertices of the grid to the visualization.

Parameters

p	The function to visualize. The VTKWriter object will take ownership of the VTKFunction *p and delete it when it's done.

◆ getParallelHeaderName()

template<class GridView >

std::string Dune::VTKWriter< GridView >::getParallelHeaderName	(	const std::string &	name,
		const std::string &	path,
		int	commSize
	)		const

inlineprotected

return name of a parallel header file

Parameters

name	Base name of the VTK output. This should be without any directory parts and without a filename extension.
path	Directory part of the resulting header name. May be empty, in which case the resulting name will not have a directory part. If non-empty, may or may not have a trailing '/'. If a trailing slash is missing, one is appended implicitly.
commSize	Number of processes writing a parallel vtk output.

◆ getParallelPieceName()

template<class GridView >

std::string Dune::VTKWriter< GridView >::getParallelPieceName	(	const std::string &	name,
		const std::string &	path,
		int	commRank,
		int	commSize
	)		const

inlineprotected

return name of a parallel piece file

Parameters

name	Base name of the VTK output. This should be without any directory parts and without a filename extension.
path	Directory part of the resulting piece name. May be empty, in which case the resulting name will not have a directory part. If non-empty, may or may not have a trailing '/'. If a trailing slash is missing, one is appended implicitly.
commRank	Rank of the process to generate a piece name for.
commSize	Number of processes writing a parallel vtk output.

◆ getSerialPieceName()

template<class GridView >

std::string Dune::VTKWriter< GridView >::getSerialPieceName	(	const std::string &	name,
		const std::string &	path
	)		const

inlineprotected

return name of a serial piece file

This is similar to getParallelPieceName, but skips the prefixes for commSize ("s####-") and commRank ("p####-").

Parameters

name	Base name of the VTK output. This should be without any directory parts and without a filename extension.
path	Directory part of the resulting piece name. May be empty, in which case the resulting name will not have a directory part. If non-empty, may or may not have a trailing '/'. If a trailing slash is missing, one is appended implicitly.

◆ pwrite() [1/2]

template<class GridView >

std::string Dune::VTKWriter< GridView >::pwrite	(	const std::string &	name,
		const std::string &	path,
		const std::string &	extendpath,
		VTK::OutputType	ot,
		const int	commRank,
		const int	commSize
	)

inlineprotected

write output; interface might change later

Parameters

name	Base name of the output files. This should not contain any directory part and not filename extensions. It will be used both for each processes piece as well as the parallel collection file.
path	Directory where to put the parallel collection (.pvtu/.pvtp) file. If it is relative, it is taken realtive to the current directory.
extendpath	Directory where to put the piece file (.vtu/.vtp) of this process. If it is relative, it is taken relative to the directory denoted by path.
ot	How to encode the data in the file.
commRank	Rank of the current process.
commSize	Number of processes taking part in this write operation.

Note: Currently, extendpath may not be absolute unless path is absolute, because that would require the value of the current directory.

Exceptions

NotImplemented	Extendpath is absolute but path is relative.
IOError	Failed to open a file.

◆ pwrite() [2/2]

template<class GridView >

std::string Dune::VTKWriter< GridView >::pwrite	(	const std::string &	name,
		const std::string &	path,
		const std::string &	extendpath,
		VTK::OutputType	type = `VTK::ascii`
	)

inline

write output (interface might change later)

"pwrite" means "path write" (i.e. write somewhere else than the current directory). The "p" does not mean this method has a monopoly on parallel writing, the regular write(const std::string &, VTK::OutputType) method can do that just fine.

Parameters

name	Base name of the output files. This should not contain any directory part and not filename extensions. It will be used both for each processes piece as well as the parallel collection file.
path	Directory where to put the parallel collection (.pvtu/.pvtp) file. If it is relative, it is taken realtive to the current directory.
extendpath	Directory where to put the piece file (.vtu/.vtp) of this process. If it is relative, it is taken relative to the directory denoted by path.
type	How to encode the data in the file.

Note: Currently, extendpath may not be absolute unless path is absolute, because that would require the value of the current directory.

Exceptions

NotImplemented	Extendpath is absolute but path is relative.
IOError	Failed to open a file.

◆ write() [1/2]

template<class GridView >

std::string Dune::VTKWriter< GridView >::write	(	const std::string &	name,
		VTK::OutputType	type,
		const int	commRank,
		const int	commSize
	)

inlineprotected

write output (interface might change later)

This method can be used in parallel as well as in serial programs. For serial runs (commSize=1) it chooses other names without the "s####-p####-" prefix for the .vtu/.vtp files and omits writing of the .pvtu/pvtp file however. For parallel runs (commSize > 1) it is the same as a call to pwrite() with path="" and extendpath="".

Parameters

name	Base name of the output files. This should not contain any directory part and no filename extensions.
type	How to encode the data in the file.
commRank	Rank of the current process.
commSize	Number of processes taking part in this write operation.

Parameters

[in]	name	basic name to write (may not contain a path)
[in]	type	type of output (e.g,, ASCII) (optional)
