Detailed Description

RangeWavelengthDistribution is an intermediate abstract class that serves as a base class for wavelength probability distributions that require the user to configure the intrinsic wavelength range. Usually this is because the underlying mathematical function (e.g. uniform, logarithmic) has no natural wavelength range of its own.

The range configured by the user for a RangeWavelengthDistribution object is intersected with the wavelength range of the associated source (obtained through the SourceWavelengthRangeInterface). As a result, the configured minimum and maximum wavelength values can usually be left to their default values (defining a very wide wavelength range).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ RangeWavelengthDistribution()

RangeWavelengthDistribution::RangeWavelengthDistribution ( )
inlineprotected

Default constructor for abstract Item subclass RangeWavelengthDistribution: "a wavelength probability distribution with a configured wavelength range".

Member Function Documentation

◆ maxWavelength()

double RangeWavelengthDistribution::maxWavelength ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property maxWavelength: "the longest wavelength of the wavelength probability distribution".

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

The minimum value for this property is "1 pm".

The maximum value for this property is "1 m".

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "1 m".

◆ minWavelength()

double RangeWavelengthDistribution::minWavelength ( ) const
inline

This function returns the value of the discoverable double property minWavelength: "the shortest wavelength of the wavelength probability distribution".

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

The minimum value for this property is "1 pm".

The maximum value for this property is "1 m".

The default value for this property is given by the conditional value expression "1 pm".

◆ range()

const Range & RangeWavelengthDistribution::range ( ) const
inlineprotected

This function returns the wavelength range of the wavelength distribution (i.e. the intersection of the external wavelength range and the configured intrinsic wavelength range) as a service to subclasses.

◆ setupSelfBefore()

void RangeWavelengthDistribution::setupSelfBefore ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function determines and caches the wavelength range of the wavelength distribution (i.e. the intersection of the external wavelength range and the configured intrinsic wavelength range) for use by subclasses.
