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]localcoordinates 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
codimcodimension of subentity E
Parameters
[in]inumber 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]faceindex 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]inumber of subentity E (0 <= i < size( c ))
[in]ccodimension 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]ccodimension 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]inumber of subentity E (0 <= i < size( c ))
[in]ccodimension of subentity E
[in]cccodimension 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]inumber of subentity E (0 <= i < size( c ))
[in]ccodimension of subentity E
[in]iinumber of subentity S (with respect to E)
[in]cccodimension 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]inumber of subentity E (0 <= i < size( c ))
[in]ccodimension of subentity E

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