Detailed Description

The ctml namespace adds functionality to the XML object, by providing standard functions that read, write, and interpret XML files and object trees.

Standardization of reads and write from Cantera files occur here.

Function Documentation

static string ctml::pypath ( )
static

return the full path to the Python interpreter.

Use the environment variable PYTHON_CMD if it is set. If not, return the string 'python'.

Note, there are hidden problems here that really direct us to use a full pathname for the location of python. Basically the system call will use the shell /bin/sh, in order to launch python. This default shell may not be the shell that the user is employing. Therefore, the default path to python may be different during a system call than during the default user shell environment. This is quite a headache. The answer is to always set the PYTHON_CMD environmental variable in the user environment to an absolute path to locate the python executable. Then this issue goes away.

void addInteger ( Cantera::XML_Node node,
const std::string &  titleString,
const int  value,
const std::string &  unitsString = "",
const std::string &  typeString = "" 
)

This function adds a child node with the name, "integer", with a value consisting of a single integer.

This function will add a child node to the current XML node, with the name "integer". It will have a title attribute, and the body of the XML node will be filled out with a single integer

Example:

Code snippet:

const XML_Node &node;
std::string titleString = "maxIterations";
int value = 1000;
std::string typeString = "optional";
std::string units = "";
addInteger(node, titleString, value, typeString, units);

Creates the following the snippet in the XML file:

<parentNode>
  <integer title="maxIterations" type="optional">
     100
  <\integer>
<\parentNode>
Parameters
nodereference to the XML_Node object of the parent XML element
titleStringString name of the title attribute
valueValue - single integer
unitsStringString name of the Units attribute. The default is to have an empty string.
typeStringString type. This is an optional parameter. The default is to have an empty string.
Todo:
I don't think this is used. Figure out what is used for writing integers, and codify that. unitsString shouldn't be here, since it's an int. typeString should be codified as to its usage.

doublereal getFloatDefaultUnits ( const Cantera::XML_Node parent,
const std::string &  name,
const std::string &  defaultUnits,
const std::string &  type = "toSI" 
)

Get a floating-point value from a child element with a defined units field.

Returns a doublereal value for the child named 'name' of element 'parent'. 'type' must be supplied and match a known unit type. Note, it's an error for the child element not to exist.

Example:

Code snippet:

const XML_Node &State_XMLNode;
doublereal pres = OneAtm;
if (state_XMLNode.hasChild("pressure")) {
pres = getFloatDefaultUnits(State_XMLNode, "pressure", "Pa", "toSI");
}

size_t getFloatArray ( const Cantera::XML_Node node,
std::vector< doublereal > &  v,
const bool  convert = true,
const std::string &  unitsString = "",
const std::string &  nodeName = "floatArray" 
)

This function reads the current node or a child node of the current node with the default name, "floatArray", with a value field consisting of a comma separated list of floats.

This function will read either the current XML node or a child node to the current XML node, with the name "floatArray". It will have a title attribute, and the body of the XML node will be filled out with a comma separated list of doublereals. Get an array of floats from the XML Node. The argument field is assumed to consist of an arbitrary number of comma separated floats, with an arbitrary amount of white space separating each field. If the node array has an units attribute field, then the units are used to convert the floats, iff convert is true.

Example:

Code snippet:

const XML_Node &State_XMLNode;
bool convert = true;
unitsString = "";
nodeName="floatArray";
getFloatArray(State_XMLNode, v, convert, unitsString, nodeName);

reads the corresponding XML file:

<state>
  <floatArray  units="m3">   32.4, 1, 100. <\floatArray>
<\state>

and will produce the vector:

v[0] = 32.4
v[1] = 1.0
v[2] = 100.
Parameters
nodeXML parent node of the floatArray
vOutput vector of floats containing the floatArray information.
convertConversion to SI is carried out if this boolean is True. The default is true.
unitsStringString name of the type attribute. This is an optional parameter. The default is to have an empty string. The only string that is recognized is actEnergy. Anything else has no effect. This affects what units converter is used.
nodeNameXML Name of the XML node to read. The default value for the node name is floatArray
Returns
Returns the number of floats read into v.

void getMap ( const Cantera::XML_Node node,
std::map< std::string, std::string > &  m 
)

This routine is used to interpret the value portions of XML elements that contain colon separated pairs.

These are used, for example, in describing the element composition of species.

 <atomArray> H:4 C:1 <atomArray\>

The string is first separated into a string vector according to the location of white space. Then each string is again separated into two parts according to the location of a colon in the string. The first part of the string is used as the key, while the second part of the string is used as the value, in the return map. It is an error to not find a colon in each string pair.

Parameters
nodeCurrent node
mOutput Map containing the pairs of values found in the XML Node

int getPairs ( const Cantera::XML_Node node,
std::vector< std::string > &  key,
std::vector< std::string > &  val 
)

This function interprets the value portion of an XML element as a series of "Pairs" separated by white space.

Each pair consists of non-whitespace characters. The first ":" found in the pair string is used to separate the string into two parts. The first part is called the "key" The second part is called the "val". String vectors of key[i] and val[i] are returned in the argument list. Warning: No spaces are allowed in each pair. Quotes get included as part of the string. Example:

<xmlNode>
   red:112    blue:34
   green:banana
</xmlNode>

Returns:

index key val
0 "red" "112"
1 "blue" "34"
2 "green" "banana"
Parameters
nodeXML Node
keyVector of keys for each entry
valVector of values for each entry
Returns
Returns the number of pairs found

const std::vector< std::string > &  keyStringCol,
Cantera::Array2D returnValues,
const bool  convert = true,
const bool  matrixSymmetric = false 
)

This function interprets the value portion of an XML element as a series of "Matrix ids and entries" separated by white space.

Each pair consists of non-whitespace characters. The first two ":" found in the pair string is used to separate the string into three parts. The first part is called the first key. The second part is the second key. Both parts must match an entry in the keyString1 and keyString2, respectively, in order to provide a location to place the object in the matrix. The third part is called the value. It is expected to be a double. It is translated into a double and placed into the correct location in the matrix.

Warning: No spaces are allowed in each triplet. Quotes are part of the string.

Example: keyString = red, blue, black, green

<xmlNode>
    red:green:112
    blue:black:3.3E-23
</xmlNode>

Returns:

retnValues(0, 3) = 112
retnValues(1, 2) = 3.3E-23
Parameters
nodeXML Node containing the information for the matrix
keyStringRowKey string for the row
keyStringColKey string for the column entries
returnValuesReturn Matrix.
convertIf this is true, and if the node has a units attribute, then conversion to SI units is carried out. Default is true.
matrixSymmetricIf true entries are made so that the matrix is always symmetric. Default is false.
