Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

template<class T>

Input<T>* OpenSim::Input< T >::clone ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Create a dynamically-allocated copy.

You must manage the memory for the returned pointer. This function exists to facilitate the use of SimTK::ClonePtr<AbstractSocket>.

Implements OpenSim::AbstractInput.

◆ connect() [1/2]

template<class T >

void OpenSim::Input< T >::connect	(	const AbstractOutput &	output,
		const std::string &	alias = `""`
	)

overridevirtual

Connect this Input to the provided (Abstract)Output.

Implements OpenSim::AbstractInput.

References OpenSim::AbstractOutput::getPathName(), and OpenSim::AbstractOutput::getTypeName().

◆ connect() [2/2]

template<class T >

void OpenSim::Input< T >::connect	(	const AbstractChannel &	channel,
		const std::string &	alias = `""`
	)

overridevirtual

Connect this Input to a single output channel.

This method can be used with both single-valued and list Inputs. You can optionally provide an alias that will be used by the Component owning this Input to refer to the Channel.

Implements OpenSim::AbstractInput.

◆ disconnect()

template<class T>

void OpenSim::Input< T >::disconnect ( )

inlineoverridevirtual

Clear references to connectees.

The connectee path property is not affected. Calling finalizeConnection() will use the connectee path property to satisfy the socket.

Implements OpenSim::AbstractSocket.

◆ finalizeConnection()

template<class T >

void OpenSim::Input< T >::finalizeConnection ( const Component & root )

overridevirtual

Connect this Input given a root Component to search for the Output according to the connectee path of this Input.

Reimplemented from OpenSim::AbstractSocket.

◆ getAlias() [1/2]

template<class T>

const std::string& OpenSim::Input< T >::getAlias ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Get the alias for a Channel.

An alias is a description for a Channel that is specific to how the Input will use the Channel. For example, the Component that owns this Input might expect the aliases to be the names of markers in the model. This method can be used only for non-list Inputs; for list Inputs, use the overload that takes an index. You must finalize connections (Component::finalizeConnections()) first.

Implements OpenSim::AbstractInput.

◆ getAlias() [2/2]

template<class T>

const std::string& OpenSim::Input< T >::getAlias ( unsigned index ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Get the alias for the Channel indicated by the provided index.

An alias is a description for a Channel that is specific to how the Input will use the Channel. For example, the Component that owns this Input might expect the aliases to be the names of markers in the model. You must finalize connections (Component::finalizeConnections()) first.

◆ getChannel() [1/2]

template<class T>

const Channel& OpenSim::Input< T >::getChannel ( ) const

inline

Get the Channel associated with this Input.

This method can only be used for non-list Input(s). For list Input(s), use the other overload.

References OpenSim::AbstractSocket::isListSocket().

Referenced by OpenSim::Input< T >::getLabel().

◆ getChannel() [2/2]

template<class T>

const Channel& OpenSim::Input< T >::getChannel ( unsigned index ) const

inline

Get the Channel associated with this Input.

Specify the index of the channel desired.

References OpenSim::AbstractSocket::getName(), OpenSim::AbstractSocket::getNumConnectees(), and OpenSim::Input< T >::isConnected().

◆ getChannels()

template<class T>

const ChannelList& OpenSim::Input< T >::getChannels ( ) const

inline

Get const access to the channels connected to this input.

You can use this to iterate through the channels.

for (const auto& chan : getChannels()) {
    std::cout << chan.getValue(state) << std::endl;
}

◆ getConnecteeTypeName()

template<class T>

std::string OpenSim::Input< T >::getConnecteeTypeName ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Return the typename of the Output value, T, that satisfies this Input<T>.

No reason to return Output<T> since it is a given that only an Output can satisfy an Input.

Implements OpenSim::AbstractSocket.

◆ getLabel() [1/2]

template<class T>

std::string OpenSim::Input< T >::getLabel ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Get the label for this Channel.

If an alias has been set, the label is the alias; otherwise, the label is the full path of the Output that has been connected to this Input. This method can be used only for non-list Inputs; for list Inputs, use the single-argument overload. You must finalize connections (Component::finalizeConnections()) first.

Implements OpenSim::AbstractInput.

If an alias has been set, the label is the alias; otherwise, the label is the full path of the Channel that has been connected to this Input. You must finalize connections (Component::finalizeConnections()) first.

template<class T>

const T& OpenSim::Input< T >::getValue ( const SimTK::State & state ) const

inline

template<class T>

const T& OpenSim::Input< T >::getValue	(	const SimTK::State &	state,
		unsigned	index

◆ getVector()

template<class T>

SimTK::Vector_<T> OpenSim::Input< T >::getVector ( const SimTK::State & state ) const

inline

Access the values of all the channels connected to this Input as a SimTK::Vector_<T>.

The elements are in the same order as the channels.

◆ isConnected()

template<class T>

bool OpenSim::Input< T >::isConnected ( ) const

◆ setAlias() [1/2]

template<class T>

void OpenSim::Input< T >::setAlias ( const std::string & alias )

inlineoverridevirtual

Set the alias for a Channel.

If this is a list Input, the aliases of all Channels will be set to the provided string. If you wish to set the alias of only one Channel, use the two-argument overload. You must finalize connections (Component::finalizeConnections()) first.

Implements OpenSim::AbstractInput.

◆ setAlias() [2/2]

template<class T>

void OpenSim::Input< T >::setAlias	(	unsigned	index,

◆ OpenSim_DECLARE_INPUT

template<class T>

#define OpenSim_DECLARE_INPUT	(	iname,
		T,
		istage,
		comment
	)

It is a placeholder for an Output that can be connected to it. An output must have the same type T as an input to be connected to it. You must also specify the stage at which you require this input quantity. The comment should describe how the input quantity is used.

An Input declared with this macro can connect to only one Output.

Here's an example for using this macro:

class MyComponent : public Component {
public:
    OpenSim_DECLARE_INPUT(emg, double, SimTK::Stage::Velocity, "For validation.");
    ...
};

Note: If you use this macro in your class, then you should NOT implement a custom copy constructor—try to use the default one. The Input will not get copied properly if you create a custom copy constructor. We may add support for custom copy constructors with Inputs in the future.

See also: Component::constructInput()

◆ OpenSim_DECLARE_LIST_INPUT

template<class T>

#define OpenSim_DECLARE_LIST_INPUT	(	iname,
		T,
		istage,
		comment
	)

This makes sense for components like reporters that can handle a flexible number of input values.

Note: If you use this macro in your class, then you should NOT implement a custom copy constructor—try to use the default one. The Input will not get copied properly if you create a custom copy constructor. We may add support for custom copy constructors with Inputs in the future.
