Detailed Description

class for parameter handling e.g. to pass paramters to plugins

The plugins use this class to organize their parameters (internally) and for the paramList which is used for type checking whilst parsing parameters passed from python to c.

Member Function Documentation

const char* ito::Param::getInfo

(

void

)

const [inline]

< returns content of info string (string is not copied)

sets content of info string, if necessary the info buffer is freed first, passed string is copied

double ito::Param::getMax

(

)

const

returns maximum value of parameter if this is available and exists.

This method is a wrapper method for ((ito::IntMeta*)getMeta())->getMax()... and returns the maximum value of the underlying meta information. It only returns a valid value for meta structures of type char, charArray, int, intArray, range, double, doubleMeta.

Returns:

maximum value of Inf maximum does not exist

double ito::Param::getMin

(

)

const

returns minimum value of parameter if this is available and exists.

This method is a wrapper method for ((ito::IntMeta*)getMeta())->getMax()... and returns the minimum value of the underlying meta information. It only returns a valid value for meta structures of type char, charArray, int, intArray, interval, range, double, doubleMeta.

Returns:

minimum value of -Inf maximum does not exist

void ito::Param::setMeta	(	ParamMeta *	meta,
		bool	takeOwnership = false
	)

sets a new ParamMeta-instance as meta information for this Param

Parameters:

meta	is the pointer to any instance derived from ParamMeta
takeOwnership	(default: false) defines, whether this Param should take the ownership of the ParamMeta-instance
