Functions

string GetStringFromFile (const char *filename, bool &result)

Read the contents of a file into a string.

bool AddFile (ofstream &out, const char *filename)

bool BoxAnimation (ofstream &out, const string &plotCmd, const float stepSize, const float xmin, const float xmax, const float ymin, const float ymax, const string basename, const string ext)

Animate over a box path.

int main (int argc, char *argv[])

Variables

int debug_level

The main program needs to define this as a non-extern.

Detailed Description

Produce frames for a gnuplot movie.

Function Documentation

bool AddFile ( ofstream & out,

const char * filename

)

bool BoxAnimation ( ofstream & out,

const string & plotCmd,

const float stepSize,

const float xmin,

const float xmax,

const float ymin,

const float ymax,

const string basename,

const string ext

)

Animate over a box path.

Parameters:

out Stream to write gnuplot commands to.

plotCmd string to pass to splot

stepSize How much to rotate for each step - for set view

xmin,xmax Horizontal rotation

ymin,ymax Vertical look range

basename beginning of the frame filename

ext Extension to add to the end of the frame name (please include the . if you want one)

Returns:
false if something bad happened
This is the first example of a path traversal algorithm. Use it for an example if you would like to write some sort of new path. FIX: need to have a 2D way to step through plots too. Maybe be able to set a different data file for each frame?

string GetStringFromFile ( const char * filename,

bool & result

)

Read the contents of a file into a string.
Hope the file is small! What happens with a huge beast of a file?
FIX: return a reference?
FIX: the params are not getting handled by doxygen. Why?

int main ( int argc,

char * argv[]

)
