Member Function Documentation

virtual std::string BaseType::asString (    )  [pure virtual]

Return a string representation of the instance. This method is used to provide a string representation of the object for output to ostreams (using <<), and also serves as __repr__ in Python. Implemented in SimDate, EnumLink, External, GeoPos, LLA, UTM, Curve, Table, Key, LinkBase, List< T >, LUT< N, X >, LUT< 1, X >, Matrix3, Object, Path, Quat, Real, Vector3, and LUT< N, T >.

void BaseType::convertXML (    )  [virtual]

Convert XML data to internal format prior to serialization. This method is currently only called by the XML parser for Object classes. If another BaseType class requires this method, a call must be added to the appropriate XML handler in the parser.

void BaseType::parseXML (  const char *    cdata )  [virtual]

Parse cdata from within the XML tags for this object. Reimplemented in SimDate, EnumLink, GeoPos, LLA, UTM, Matrix3, Quat, Real, and Vector3.

virtual void BaseType::serialize (  Archive &    )  [inline, virtual]

Serialize an object to or from a data archive. Reimplemented in SimDate, EnumLink, External, GeoPos, LLA, UTM, InterpolatedData< T >, Curve, Table, Key, LinkBase, List< T >, LUT< N, X >, LUT< 1, X >, Matrix3, Object, Path, Quat, Real, Vector3, InterpolatedData< float >, and LUT< N, T >.

virtual std::string BaseType::typeString (    )  [pure virtual]

Return a string representation of the type. Implemented in SimDate, EnumLink, External, GeoPos, LLA, UTM, ECEF, Curve, Table, Key, LinkBase, Link< T >, LUT< N, X >, LUT< 1, X >, Matrix3, Object, Path, Quat, Real, Vector3, and LUT< N, T >.
