Detailed Description

Base class for items that will be stored in containers.

The interface defines the support needed for tracking pointers, and automatic pointer conversion during archiving. This class also has a primitive run-time type identification system, maintains an integer ID, and returns a single location in space associated with the object.

Member Function Documentation

◆ addGroup()

virtual bool itasca::IThing::addGroup ( const IGroupID & id )

pure virtual

Adds a group entry to this object. Returns true on success. If no slot is specified, the default slot is assumed.

◆ convert() [1/2]

template<class T >

const T* itasca::IThing::convert ( ) const

inline

Type specific version of convertToType, that assume that the type id is in T::type_. It also automatically converts the return type to

◆ convert() [2/2]

template<class T >

T* itasca::IThing::convert ( )

inline

Type specific version of convertToType, that assume that the type id is in T::type_. It also automatically converts the return type to

◆ convertToType() [1/2]

virtual const void* itasca::IThing::convertToType ( const TType & id ) const

pure virtual

This functions is intended as a more efficient version of dynamic_cast, available only for things in the IThing tree, and used when you cannot guarantee that the class hasn't had a base shift. If no match is found, then 0 is returned. See the template version below for type safety, and automatic exception throwing. As a special case, if id is 0, then the return value should be an "upcast" to the most-derived type.

◆ convertToType() [2/2]

virtual void* itasca::IThing::convertToType ( const TType & id )

pure virtual

This functions is intended as a more efficient version of dynamic_cast, available only for things in the IThing tree, and used when you cannot guarantee that the class hasn't had a base shift. If no match is found, then 0 is returned. See the template version below for type safety, and automatic exception throwing. As a special case, if id is 0, then the return value should be an "upcast" to the most-derived type.

◆ destroy()

virtual void itasca::IThing::destroy ( )

pure virtual

Calls

delete this;

Necessary because deleting an interface pointer is not possible due to the lack of virtual destructors.

◆ getClosest()

virtual DVect3 itasca::IThing::getClosest ( const DVect3 & pos ) const

pure virtual

Returns the closest point on the IThing to the position pos. By default, returns the same value returns by getLocation(). IThing implementations may choose different degrees to which they return the exact closest point.

◆ getCollectionID()

virtual quint64 itasca::IThing::getCollectionID ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a value that indicates the ID of some larger grouping of objects. For instance, each SEL element might have a unique ID. But all elements in Cable 5 will have a getCollectionID() of 5. The exact meaning of this is defined by the container and the implementing class.

◆ getContainer() [1/2]

virtual const IContainer* itasca::IThing::getContainer ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a const pointer to the container this IThing is stored in. May return 0, indicating that this type of thing doesn't keep track of that.

◆ getContainer() [2/2]

virtual IContainer* itasca::IThing::getContainer ( )

pure virtual

Returns a pointer to the container this IThing is stored in. May return 0, indicating that this type of thing doesn't keep track of that.

◆ getContainerOrder()

virtual quint64 itasca::IThing::getContainerOrder ( ) const

pure virtual

Indicates the original order location of the thing in the main container before mpi distribution.

◆ getExtent()

virtual DExtent3 itasca::IThing::getExtent ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns an extent in space associated with the IThing. By default, returns an empty extent (DExtent::nothing). This value is used by the cell space logic.

◆ getExtra()

virtual const fish::IParameter* itasca::IThing::getExtra ( uint index ) const

pure virtual

Returns an interface to the FISH extra variables for this object. May be null if no extra variables have ever been specified.

◆ getGeneralType()

virtual TType itasca::IThing::getGeneralType ( ) const

pure virtual

This function returns a constant character string indicating the "general" type. For non-polymorphic objects this will be the same as getType(). Polymorphic objects should override this function to return a "base" type, use to indicate the general class of object. For instance for histories, getType() will return historytime and historyzone, but getGeneralType() should be overridden to return "history" for all of them.

◆ getGroup()

virtual const IGroup* itasca::IThing::getGroup ( const ISlotID & slot ) const

pure virtual

Returns the group entry directly in this object at that slot, or null if it does not exist. An invalid slot will always return null, and ANY slot will use slot 0 (default).

◆ getGroupName()

virtual QString itasca::IThing::getGroupName ( const ISlotID & slot = ISlotID() ) const

pure virtual

Returns the group name directly in this object at that slot, or the null name if it does not exist. The group_ and groupName_ parts of id are ignored. If all slots are specified, then returns a concatenation of all groups in all slots.

◆ getIsSet()

virtual bool itasca::IThing::getIsSet ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a boolean indicating whether or not this is a set - a set is a container of things. The RangeElementSet works based on this identifier

◆ getIThing()

virtual IThing* itasca::IThing::getIThing ( )

pure virtual

Return the IThing interface.

◆ getLocation()

virtual DVect3 itasca::IThing::getLocation ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns a location in space associated with the IThing. By default, returns the origin. This value is used by the Range logic to filter objects based on position.

◆ getSet()

virtual const IThing* itasca::IThing::getSet ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the iThing that is the set pointer. When checking with the RangeElementSet this is the IThing that is checked for being in filter if the returned IThing is a set (i.e., returns true for getIsSet).

◆ getType()

virtual TType itasca::IThing::getType ( ) const

pure virtual

This function returns a character string indicating the type. It may be compared directly by pointer value (fast), or a string comparison may be given. Used mostly for save/restore – to indicate the object type for polymorphic containers.

◆ isInGroup()

virtual uint itasca::IThing::isInGroup	(	const FArray< IGroupID > &	ids,
		TType	type = `0`,
		bool	only = `false`
	)		const

pure virtual

Returns number of matches with ALL groups in ids. Applied either to this object directly, or possibly to connected objects. (For example, gridpoints in FLAC3D are considered a member of a group if any zones connected to them are in that group). If the type field is non-zero, will find matches in that type only in the heirarchy. If ONLY is given, no groups can be in the object in addition to those specified in ids.

◆ isWithinOrientation()

virtual bool itasca::IThing::isWithinOrientation	(	const Orientation3 &	orientation,
		const DVect2 &	tol
	)		const

pure virtual

Returns TRUE if object can be considered to be part of the orientation specified, withing the tolerance. If Orientation is wasDefinedByNormal() then only tol.x() is considered, which is an angle in radians. Otherwise tol.x() is the angle from dip, and tol.y() is the angle from dip direction.

◆ removeGroup()

virtual bool itasca::IThing::removeGroup ( const IGroupID & id )

pure virtual

Removes all entries matching g or name from this object, if not slot is specified. Returns true if one or more entries were removed. If by_ is not 0, an error occurs.

◆ setExtra()

virtual void itasca::IThing::setExtra	(	uint	index,
		const fish::IParameter &	p
	)

pure virtual

Returns an interface to the FISH extra variables for this object. May be null if no extra variables have ever been specified.
