Detailed Description

template<class T>
class SimTK::Measure_< T >

This is the base handle class for all Measures whose value type is known, including all the Simbody built-in Measure types.

Member Function Documentation

template<class T>

SimTK::Measure_< T >::SimTK_MEASURE_HANDLE_PREAMBLE_ABSTRACT	(	Measure_< T >	,
		AbstractMeasure
	)

This class is still abstract so we don't want it to allocate an Implementation object in its default constructor.

template<class T>

const T& SimTK::Measure_< T >::getValue	(	const State &	s,
		int	derivOrder = `0`
	)		const

inline

Retrieve the Value of this Measure or one of its time derivatives, assuming the supplied State has been realized to at least the required stage for the selected value or derivative, as reported by getDependsOnStage().

If the stage is sufficient but the corresponding value has not yet been computed, it will be computed first with its value going into this State's cache so that subsequent calls do not require further computation.

template<class T>

Measure_& SimTK::Measure_< T >::setDefaultValue ( const T & defaultValue )

inline

Change the default value associated with this Measure.

How this is used varies with the Measure type but generally it is the value that the Measure will have before any calculations are performed. Note that this does not require a State since it is a Topology-stage change; you have to call realizeTopology() again if you call this method.

template<class T>

const T& SimTK::Measure_< T >::getDefaultValue ( ) const

inline

Obtain a reference to the default value associated with this Measure.
