Member Typedef Documentation

◆ Self

This typedef might be useful within the member functions of this class.

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

◆ Super

Use this typedef to refer to the superclass of this class.

Avoid using the explicit type name of the superclass; this would introduce bugs if the superclass is changed.

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

Member Function Documentation

◆ append_coordinates()

int OpenSim::TransformAxis::append_coordinates ( const std::string &  value)
inline

Append an element to the coordinates property.

◆ assign()

void OpenSim::TransformAxis::assign ( Object aObject)
inlineoverride

This allows copy assignment in the Java GUI.

Exceptions
Exceptionif the argument is not of type TransformAxis.

◆ clone()

TransformAxis* OpenSim::TransformAxis::clone ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Create a new heap-allocated copy of the concrete object to which this Object refers.

It is up to the caller to delete the returned object when no longer needed. Every concrete object deriving from Object implements this pure virtual method automatically, via the declaration macro it invokes (e.g., OpenSim_DECLARE_CONCRETE_OBJECT()). Note that the concrete class overrides modify the return type to be a pointer to the concrete object; that still overrides the base class method because the return type is covariant with (that is, derives from) Object.

Implements OpenSim::Object.

◆ connectToJoint()

void OpenSim::TransformAxis::connectToJoint ( const Joint owningJoint)

Connect the TransformAxis to its owning Joint after the model has been deserialized or copied.

◆ get_axis()

const SimTK::Vec3& OpenSim::TransformAxis::get_axis ( ) const
inline

Get the value of the axis property.

◆ get_coordinates()

const std::string& OpenSim::TransformAxis::get_coordinates ( int  i) const
inline

Get the value of the i-th element of the coordinates property.

Return the current value of the "axis" property.

◆ getAxis() [2/3]

void OpenSim::TransformAxis::getAxis ( SimTK::Vec3 &  axis) const
inline

Alternate signature that writes the axis value to its argument.

References getAxis().

Referenced by getAxis().

◆ getAxis() [3/3]

double OpenSim::TransformAxis::getAxis ( int  which) const
inline

Get one component (0,1, or 2) of the axis vector.

◆ getClassName()

static const std::string& OpenSim::TransformAxis::getClassName ( )
inlinestatic

This returns "TransformAxis".

See getConcreteClassName() if you want the class name of the underlying concrete object instead.

This is generated by the OpenSim_DECLARE_*_OBJECT macros.

◆ getConcreteClassName()

const std::string& OpenSim::TransformAxis::getConcreteClassName ( ) const
inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the class name of the concrete Object-derived class of the actual object referenced by this Object, as a string.

This is the string that is used as the tag for this concrete object in an XML file. Every concrete class derived from Object automatically overrides this method via the declaration macro it uses. See getClassName() to get the class name of the referencing (possibly abstract) class rather than the concrete object.

Implements OpenSim::Object.

◆ getCoordinateNames()

const Property<std::string>& OpenSim::TransformAxis::getCoordinateNames ( ) const
inline

Get the generalized coordinate names associated with this object.

The returned value is a references to the Property<string> that contains the list of coordinate names.

◆ getFunction()

const Function& OpenSim::TransformAxis::getFunction ( ) const

Get the custom function that maps between the generalized coordinates and the amount of displacement along the specified axis.

If no function has been specified, this throws an exception; check first with hasFunction() if you aren't sure.

◆ getJoint()

const Joint& OpenSim::TransformAxis::getJoint ( ) const
inline

Return a reference to the Joint to which this TransformAxis applies.

◆ getValue()

double OpenSim::TransformAxis::getValue ( const SimTK::State &  s)

◆ hasFunction()

bool OpenSim::TransformAxis::hasFunction ( ) const
inline

Determine whether a custom function has been specified to map between the generalized coordinate and the amount of transformation along the specified axis.

◆ safeDownCast()

static TransformAxis* OpenSim::TransformAxis::safeDownCast ( OpenSim::Object obj)
inlinestatic

For use in MATLAB and Python to access the concrete class.

Example: cObj = TransformAxis.safeDownCast(obj). This is equivalent to dynamic_cast<TransformAxis*>(obj) in C++.

This object adopts ownership of the Function object, don't delete it yourself! It will be deleted when this TransformAxis object is deleted.

◆ setFunction() [2/2]

void OpenSim::TransformAxis::setFunction ( const Function function)

Set the custom function that maps between the generalized coordinates and the amount of transformation about/along the specified axis.

This method creates a copy of the supplied Function object, which is unaffected. Use the other signature if you want this TransformAxis to take over ownership of the Function object.

◆ upd_axis()

inline

Get a writable reference to the axis property.

◆ upd_coordinates()

std::string& OpenSim::TransformAxis::upd_coordinates ( int  i)
