- additional debug information
- improve support for dictionary specification of constant, polynomial
and table entries. These previously only worked properly for
primitiveEntry, which causes confusion.
- extend table Function1 to include TableFile functionality.
Simplifies switching and modifying content.
- easier support for non-mandatory functions.
In some boundary conditions it can be desirable to support
additional functions, but not necessarily require them. Make this
easier to support with a Function1, PatchFunction1 NewIfPresent()
selector.
- support for compatibility lookups
- harmonize branching logic and error handling between Function1 and
PatchFunction1.
ENH: refactor a base class for Function1, PatchFunction1
- includes base characteristics, patch or scalar information
ENH: additional creation macros
- makeConcreteFunction1, makeConcretePatchFunction1Type for adding a
non-templated function into the correct templated selection table.
makeScalarPatchFunction1 for similarity with makeScalarFunction1
Description
Ramp function base class for the set of scalar functions starting from 0 and
increasing monotonically to 1 from \c start over the \c duration and
remaining at 1 thereafter.
Usage:
\verbatim
<entryName> <rampFunction>;
<entryName>Coeffs
{
start 10;
duration 20;
}
\endverbatim
or
\verbatim
<entryName>
{
type <rampFunction>;
start 10;
duration 20;
}
\endverbatim
Where:
\table
Property | Description | Required | Default value
start | Start time | no | 0
duration | Duration | yes |
\endtable
The following common ramp functions are provided: linear, quadratic, halfCosine,
quarterCosine and quaterSine, others can easily be added and registered to the run-time
selection system.
