Public Member Functions

virtual void MakeRho ()=0
 Request the creation of the density.
virtual grid< double > & Rho ()=0
 Return a reference to the density grid.
virtual std::string GetClassName () const
 returns the name of the class, here "Species".
virtual double GetSize () const =0
 Return the size of the superparticles.
virtual double GetSize0 () const =0
virtual double GetCharge () const =0
 Return the Charge.
- Public Member Functions inherited from Task
 Task ()
 Default constructor sets the running number nNr of the Task.
virtual ~Task ()
 When destructing a Task is has to be detatched from the parents Task list.
int GetStep () const
 Return the interval between execution in timesteps.
int GetEnd () const
 Return the timestep when the Task ends execution.
bool DoNow ()
 Returns true if the Task is to be executed now.
std::string GetName () const
 Returns the name given to the Task object.
virtual bool IsInteractive () const
 If not specified otherwise, a Task is not interactive.
void AttachTask (Task *pTask)
 Insert Task into Task list and registers it with the Process.
void DetachTask (Task *pTask)
 DetachTask from Task list.
virtual void Init ()
 The Init method of a Task is called before the Task is executed. It should contain all the necessary initialization. The basic Init method calls the Init of all the sub-Tasks and sorts them according to their predecessor list. Also the Pointer to the Normalization object is retrieved from the Process. A derived class should always call the Task::Init in its own Init method.
virtual bool Execute ()
 Executes the Task. This is the place where the algorithm for executing a Task it placed. The return value specifies, if the task is finished and can be removed. The basic Execute method executes all its sub-Tasks. The derived classes should call this member function, whenever there are subtasks to be executed.
virtual std::string Rebuild (std::istream &in)
 Rebuilds the task from the setup. This normally does not need to be overwritten. Rebuild always returns the next token that does not belong to the object setup.
virtual void DumpTaskList (std::ostream &o, int nDepth=0)
 Recursively dumps the complete Task list into a stream.

Additional Inherited Members

- Protected Member Functions inherited from Task
void AddPredecessor (const std::string &strPred)
 Add the name of a predecessor that has to be executed before this Task.
virtual PARAMETERMAP * MakeParamMap (PARAMETERMAP *pm=NULL)
 Register the parameters needed for the Task. A derived class should overwrite this whenever it needs additional parameters from the setup file. It should then ALWAYS call the MakeParamMap of its superclass.
- Protected Attributes inherited from Task
int nNr
 The running number of this Task.
std::string strName
 The name of this Task.
TaskpParent
 The parent Task to which this Task belongs.
ProcesspProcess
 The Process to which this Task belongs.
std::string strNorm
 The name of the referenced Normalization object.
NormalizationNorm
 The pointer to the referenced Normalization object.
TASKLIST plTasks
 A list of sub-Tasks.
int nStart
int nEnd
int nStep
