Detailed Description

A PDF defined via an interpolation grid.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

LHAPDF::GridPDF::GridPDF ( const std::string &  path)
inline

Constructor from a file path.

We allow this to exist and be user-callable for testing and other special case uses, since if you are explicitly instantiating a GridPDF rather than acquiring it via a pointer/reference of PDF type, then you probably (hopefully) know what you're doing and aren't putting it into public production code!

Member Function Documentation

const vector<double>& LHAPDF::GridPDF::q2Knots ( ) const

Return a representative list of interpolation knots in Q2.

Constructed and cached by walking over all subgrids and concatenating their Q2 lists: expensive!

void LHAPDF::GridPDF::setExtrapolator ( Extrapolator xpol)

Set the extrapolator by pointer.

The provided Extrapolator must have been new'd, as it will not be copied and ownership passes to this GridPDF: delete will be called on this ptr when this GridPDF goes out of scope or another setExtrapolator call is made.

template<typename EXTRAPOLATOR >
void LHAPDF::GridPDF::setExtrapolator ( EXTRAPOLATOR  xpol)
inline

Set the extrapolator by value.

The passed value must be a concrete instantiation of the Extrapolator interface. It will be copied and heap-assigned for use inside this GridPDF.

Todo:
Use SFINAE magic to restrict EXTRAPOLATOR to subclasses of Extrapolator?
void LHAPDF::GridPDF::setExtrapolator ( const std::string &  xpolname)

Set the extrapolator by name.

Use the extrapolator specified by the given name, as passed to the createExtrapolator factory function.

void LHAPDF::GridPDF::setInterpolator ( Interpolator ipol)

Set the interpolator by pointer.

The provided Interpolator must have been new'd, as it will not be copied and ownership passes to this GridPDF: delete will be called on this ptr when this GridPDF goes out of scope or another setInterpolator call is made.

template<typename INTERPOLATOR >
void LHAPDF::GridPDF::setInterpolator ( INTERPOLATOR  ipol)
inline

Set the interpolator by value.

The passed value must be a concrete instantiation of the Interpolator interface. It will be copied and heap-assigned for use inside this GridPDF.

Todo:
Use SFINAE magic to restrict INTERPOLATOR to subclasses of Interpolator?
void LHAPDF::GridPDF::setInterpolator ( const std::string &  ipolname)

Set the interpolator by name.

Use the interpolator specified by the given name, as passed to the createInterpolator factory function.

const vector<double>& LHAPDF::GridPDF::xKnots ( ) const

Return a representative list of interpolation knots in x.

The x knot array for the first flavor grid of the lowest-Q2 subgrid is returned.
