Detailed Description

PlanarCutsForm represents a generic probe form. Refer to the ProbeFormBridge class for more information about probes and forms.

This particular form outputs three FITS files representing cuts through the spatial domain of the simulated model along three planes parallel to the coordinate planes. The user can configure the extent of the spatial domain to be considered, the offset of each cut plane from the corresponding coordinate plane, and the number of pixels in each direction. By default, the cuts are centered on the origin of the model coordinate frame.

Each of the three FITS files contains a number of image frames corresponding to the number of components in a value of the quantity being probed (i.e. 1 for scalar quantities, 3 for vector quantities, and N for compound quantities). In case of a vector quantity, the three image frames represent the velocity vector components in the frame of the cut, i.e. the two components projected on the x and y axes of the cut and the component perpendicular to the cut, where positive values indicate vectors pointing away from the viewer.

This class samples the model at each pixel center in the output cut. Consequently, it ignores small features in the model that intersect the pixel but do not overlap the pixel center. To improve accuracy, decrease the pixel size by increasing the number of pixels along each axis.

This item type is displayed only if the Boolean expression "Level2" evaluates to true after replacing the names by true or false depending on their presence.

static

This static function is also used by the DefaultCutsForm. It outputs a single FITS file representing a cut through the spatial domain along a plane parallel to the coordinate plane indicated by the boolean "direction" arguments xd, yd, and zd, exactly two of which must be true. The argument box specfies the extent of the domain to be considered, the arguments xp, yp, and zp specify the position of the cuts, and the arguments xn, yn, and zn specify the number of pixels in each direction.

◆ writeQuantity()

void PlanarCutsForm::writeQuantity ( const ProbeFormBridge bridge) const
overridevirtual

This function causes the form to output file(s) as described in the class header for the quantity being probed according to the information provided by the specified ProbeFormBridge instance.

Implements Form.
