Detailed Description

LogTimeGrid represents logarithmically distributed time grids. The characteristic times of the grid bins are equally distributed (in log space) between and including the specified minimum and maximum time. These minimum and/or maximum time values are allowed to be negative.

The outermost bins are given the same width as the inner bins (in log space), which implies that the outermost bin borders are placed half a bin width beyond the specified minimum and maximum time. The grid must have at least two bins, which then have the specified minimum and maximum time as their respective characteristic time.

Because a logarithmic grid cannot have negative or zero values, the additional offset property specifies a value that is subtracted from each of the grid points. A positive value shifts the complete grid towards and possibly beyond the origin. A negative value shifts the grid away from the origin.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ LogTimeGrid()

LogTimeGrid::LogTimeGrid ( )
inlineprotected

Default constructor for concrete Item subclass LogTimeGrid: "a logarithmic time grid".

Member Function Documentation

◆ getTimeBins()

void LogTimeGrid::getTimeBins ( vector< Bin > & bins) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function is invoked during setup. It places the time bins for this grid in the specified vector, which is guaranteed to be empty upon invocation.

Implements TimeGrid.

◆ maxTime()

double LogTimeGrid::maxTime ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property maxTime: "the maximum time".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "timelag".

The minimum value for this property is "]0".

◆ minTime()

double LogTimeGrid::minTime ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property minTime: "the minimum time".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "timelag".

The minimum value for this property is "]0".

◆ numTimes()

int LogTimeGrid::numTimes ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable integer property numTimes: "the number of time grid points".

The minimum value for this property is "2".

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "25".

◆ offset()

double LogTimeGrid::offset ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property offset: "the global time offset subtracted from the grid".

This property represents a physical quantity of type "timelag".

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "0".
