Detailed Description

This class implements writing 2D meshes in Postscript.

It borrows several ideas from, and is a more simple-minded version of, the DataOutBase::write_eps() function from Deal II. Only output is supported here, and only the Mesh (none of the data) is written. The main use I imagined for this class is creating nice Mesh images for publications, since I didn't find/don't know of a free visualization program which would do this.

This method should be overridden by "parallel" output formats for writing nodal data.

Instead of getting a localized copy of the nodal solution vector, it directly uses EquationSystems current_local_solution vectors to look up nodal values.

virtualinherited

This method may be overridden by "parallel" output formats for writing nodal data.

Instead of getting a localized copy of the nodal solution vector, it is passed a NumericVector of type=PARALLEL which is in node-major order i.e. (u0,v0,w0, u1,v1,w1, u2,v2,w2, u3,v3,w3, ...) and contains n_nodes*n_vars total entries. Then, it is up to the individual I/O class to extract the required solution values from this vector and write them in parallel.

If not implemented, localizes the parallel vector into a std::vector and calls the other version of this function.

_ascii_precision

unsigned int libMesh::MeshOutput< MeshBase >::_ascii_precision

privateinherited

Precision to use when writing ASCII files.

_bezier_coeffs

std::vector<Point> libMesh::PostscriptIO::_bezier_coeffs

private

Vector containing 3 points corresponding to Bezier coefficients, as computed by _compute_edge_bezier_coeffs.

Definition at line 120 of file postscript_io.h.

Referenced by _compute_edge_bezier_coeffs(), plot_quadratic_elem(), and PostscriptIO().

_bezier_transform

const float libMesh::PostscriptIO::_bezier_transform

staticprivate

Initial value:

=
  {
    {-1.f/6.f, 1.f/6.f, 1.},
    {-1.f/6.f, 0.5,     1.f/6.f},
    {0.,       1.,      0.}
  }

Coefficients of the transformation from physical-space edge coordinates to Bezier basis coefficients.

Transforms x and y separately.

_cell_string

std::ostringstream libMesh::PostscriptIO::_cell_string

private

Drawing style-independent data for a single cell.

This can be used as a temporary buffer for storing data which may be sent to the output stream multiple times.

_current_point

Point libMesh::PostscriptIO::_current_point

private

A point object used for temporary calculations.

Referenced by plot_linear_elem(), and plot_quadratic_elem().

_is_parallel_format

const bool libMesh::MeshOutput< MeshBase >::_is_parallel_format

protectedinherited

Flag specifying whether this format is parallel-capable.

If this is false (default) I/O is only permitted when the mesh has been serialized.

Definition at line 172 of file mesh_output.h.

_obj

const MeshBase * const libMesh::MeshOutput< MeshBase >::_obj

privateinherited

A pointer to a constant object.

This allows us to write the object to file.

Definition at line 190 of file mesh_output.h.

_offset

Point libMesh::PostscriptIO::_offset

private

Amount to add to every (x,y) point to place it in Postscript coordinates.

Definition at line 125 of file postscript_io.h.

Referenced by _compute_edge_bezier_coeffs(), plot_linear_elem(), plot_quadratic_elem(), and write().

_out

std::ofstream libMesh::PostscriptIO::_out

private

Output file stream which will be opened when the file name is known.

Definition at line 147 of file postscript_io.h.

Referenced by plot_linear_elem(), plot_quadratic_elem(), and write().

_scale

Real libMesh::PostscriptIO::_scale

private

Amount by which to stretch each point to place it in Postscript coordinates.

_serial_only_needed_on_proc_0

const bool libMesh::MeshOutput< MeshBase >::_serial_only_needed_on_proc_0

protectedinherited

Flag specifying whether this format can be written by only serializing the mesh to processor zero.

If this is false (default) the mesh will be serialized to all processors

Definition at line 181 of file mesh_output.h.

line_width

Real libMesh::PostscriptIO::line_width

Control the thickness of the lines used.

0.5 is a reasonable default for printed images, but you may need to decrease this value (or choose it adaptively) when there are very slim cells present in the mesh.

Definition at line 88 of file postscript_io.h.

Referenced by write().

shade_value

Real libMesh::PostscriptIO::shade_value

Controls greyscale shading of cells.

By default this value is 0.0 (which actually corresponds to black) and this indicates "no shading" i.e. only mesh lines will be drawn. Any other value in (0,1] will cause the cells to be grey-shaded to some degree, with higher values being lighter. A value of 0.75 gives decent results.
