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.

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).

codimcodimension to obtain number of subentities for
Note
The codimension is specified with respect to the grid dimension.
Unless the geometry type is None, this method is redundant and the same information can be obtained from the corresponding reference element.

Second-level dispatch to select the correct reference element for a grid entity.

This function is the default implementation of the second-level reference element dispatch performed by Entity.

When referenceElement() is called with an Entity, it will forward the call to referenceElement<ctype, mydim>(const GeometryType&). This default implementation will do the right thing as long as your geometry is based on a standard Dune ReferenceElement. If it is not and you want to supply your own reference element implementation, provide an override of this function for your specific geometry implementation.
