Detailed Description

template<typename Implementation>
class Dune::Geo::ReferenceElement< Implementation >

This class provides access to geometric and topological properties of a reference element.

This includes its type, the number of subentities, the volume, and a method for checking if a point is contained in the reference element. The embedding of each subentity into the reference element is also provided.

This class has value semantics, i.e. you can (and should) pass it around by value and not by reference and store a copy of it.

Instances of this object for a given geometry type can be retrieved from the ReferenceElements class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ReferenceElement()

template<typename Implementation >

Dune::Geo::ReferenceElement< Implementation >::ReferenceElement ( )

inline

Constructs an empty reference element.

This constructor creates an empty (invalid) reference element. This element may not be used in any way except for assigning other reference elements to it. After assigning a valid reference element (obtained from ReferenceElements), it may be used without restrictions.

Member Function Documentation

◆ checkInside()

template<typename Implementation >

bool Dune::Geo::ReferenceElement< Implementation >::checkInside ( const Coordinate & local ) const

inline

check if a coordinate is in the reference element

This method returns true if the given local coordinate is within this reference element.

Parameters

[in] local coordinates of the point

◆ geometry()

template<typename Implementation >

template<int codim>

Codim<codim>::Geometry Dune::Geo::ReferenceElement< Implementation >::geometry ( int i ) const

inline

obtain the embedding of subentity (i,codim) into the reference element

Denote by E the i-th subentity of codimension codim of the current reference element. This method returns a Dune::AffineGeometry that maps the reference element of E into the current reference element.

Template Parameters

codim codimension of subentity E

Parameters

[in] i number of subentity E (0 <= i < size( codim ))

◆ impl()

template<typename Implementation >

const Implementation& Dune::Geo::ReferenceElement< Implementation >::impl ( ) const

inline

Returns a reference to the internal implementation object.

Warning: This method may only be called on valid reference elements.; This method exposes undocumented internals that may change without notice!

◆ integrationOuterNormal()

template<typename Implementation >

decltype(auto) Dune::Geo::ReferenceElement< Implementation >::integrationOuterNormal ( int face ) const

inline

obtain the integration outer normal of the reference element

The integration outer normal is the outer normal whose length coincides with the face's integration element.

Deprecated:: After dune-2.6 the return value will no longer be a reference but a copy. Code storing pointers or references to the result must be adjusted.

Parameters

[in] face index of the face, whose normal is desired

◆ position()

template<typename Implementation >

decltype(auto) Dune::Geo::ReferenceElement< Implementation >::position	(	int	i,
		int	c
	)		const

inline

position of the barycenter of entity (i,c)

Denote by E the i-th subentity of codimension c of the current reference element. This method returns the coordinates of the center of gravity of E within the current reference element.

Deprecated:: After dune-2.6 the return value will no longer be a reference but a copy. Code storing pointers or references to the result must be adjusted.

Parameters

[in]	i	number of subentity E (0 <= i < size( c ))
[in]	c	codimension of subentity E

Referenced by Dune::AffineGeometry< ct, mydim, cdim >::center(), and Dune::AffineGeometry< ct, mydim, cdim >::corner().

◆ size() [1/2]

template<typename Implementation >

int Dune::Geo::ReferenceElement< Implementation >::size ( int c ) const

inline

number of subentities of codimension c

Parameters

[in] c codimension whose size is desired

Referenced by Dune::AffineGeometry< ct, mydim, cdim >::corners().

◆ size() [2/2]

template<typename Implementation >

int Dune::Geo::ReferenceElement< Implementation >::size	(	int	i,
		int	c,
		int	cc
	)		const

inline

number of subentities of codimension cc of subentity (i,c)

Denote by E the i-th subentity of codimension c of the current reference element. This method returns the number of subentities of codimension cc of the current reference element, that are also a subentity of E.

Parameters

[in]	i	number of subentity E (0 <= i < size( c ))
[in]	c	codimension of subentity E
[in]	cc	codimension whose size is desired (c <= cc <= dim)

◆ subEntity()

template<typename Implementation >

int Dune::Geo::ReferenceElement< Implementation >::subEntity	(	int	i,
		int	c,
		int	ii,
		int	cc
	)		const

inline

obtain number of ii-th subentity with codim cc of (i,c)

Denote by E the i-th subentity of codimension c of the current reference element. And denote by S the ii-th subentity of codimension (cc-c) of E. Then, S is a also a subentity of codimension c of the current reference element. This method returns the number of S with respect to the current reference element.

Parameters

[in]	i	number of subentity E (0 <= i < size( c ))
[in]	c	codimension of subentity E
[in]	ii	number of subentity S (with respect to E)
[in]	cc	codimension of subentity S (c <= cc <= dim)

◆ type() [1/2]

template<typename Implementation >

decltype(auto) Dune::Geo::ReferenceElement< Implementation >::type ( ) const

inline

obtain the type of this reference element

Deprecated:: After dune-2.6 the return value will no longer be a reference but a copy. Code storing pointers or references to the result must be adjusted.

◆ type() [2/2]

template<typename Implementation >

decltype(auto) Dune::Geo::ReferenceElement< Implementation >::type	(	int	i,
		int	c
	)		const

inline

obtain the type of subentity (i,c)

Denote by E the i-th subentity of codimension c of the current reference element. This method returns the GeometryType of E.

Deprecated:: After dune-2.6 the return value will no longer be a reference but a copy. Code storing pointers or references to the result must be adjusted.

Parameters

[in]	i	number of subentity E (0 <= i < size( c ))
[in]	c	codimension of subentity E

Referenced by Dune::AffineGeometry< ct, mydim, cdim >::type().
