Detailed Description

Virtual base class for particle data.

BinItem is a base class to provide the necessary interface with BinFab for particle-in-bin/cell problems. Since the only attribute of a particle needed by the BinFab is position, it is the only attribute present in this class. All other attributes (charge, velocity, etc) must appear in a derived class.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BinItem::BinItem (    )

Null constructor, copy constructor and operator= can be compiler defined.

BinItem::BinItem (  const RealVect &    a_position )

Constructs a BinItem at a_position.

virtual BinItem::~BinItem (    )  [virtual]

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void BinItem::define (  const RealVect &    a_position )  [virtual]

Same as the constructor. Reimplemented in DragParticle.

virtual void BinItem::linearIn (  void *    a_buf )  [virtual]

Extract a serialized (packed) representation from a_buf. Given a linear representation of the class data previously made using linearIn() in a_buf, set the data for this class.

virtual void BinItem::linearOut (  void *    a_buf )  const [virtual]

Write a serialized (packed) representation into a_buf. Write a linear representation of the internal data. Assumes that sufficient memory for the buffer has already been allocated by the caller. Reimplemented in DragParticle.

Real BinItem::position (  const int    a_dir )  const

Gets one component of the position.

const RealVect& BinItem::position (    )  const

Return a constant reference to the position.

RealVect& BinItem::position (    )

Return a reference to the position.

int BinItem::preAllocatable (    )  [inline]

Reimplemented in DragParticle.

virtual void BinItem::print (    )  const [virtual]

Write a human-readable version to stdout (for debugging).

void BinItem::setPosition (  const Real    a_position, const int    a_dimension )

Change one component of the position.

void BinItem::setPosition (  const RealVect &    a_position )

Change the position.

virtual int BinItem::size (    )  const [virtual]

Number of bytes used by linearIn()/linearOut(). Returns the size, in number of bytes, of a flat linear representation of the data in this object. Reimplemented in DragParticle.
