FindElementValue()

string FindElementValue

(

const std::string &

Searches for the named element and returns the string data belonging to it.

This function allows the data belonging to a named element to be returned as a string. If no element is found, the empty string is returned. If no argument is supplied, the data string for the first element is returned.

Parameters

el	the name of the element being searched for (the empty string by default)

Returns

the data value for the named element as a string, or the empty string if the element cannot be found.

	)

Searches for the named element and converts and returns the data belonging to it.

This function allows the data belonging to a named element to be returned as a double. If no element is found, HUGE_VAL is returned. If no argument is supplied, the data for the first element is returned. Additionally, this function converts the value from the units specified in the supplied_units parameter to the units specified in the target_units parameter. JSBSim itself, as specified by the target_units parameter. The currently allowable unit conversions are seen in the source file FGXMLElement.cpp. Also, see above in the main documentation for this class.

Parameters

el	the name of the element being searched for (the empty string by default)
supplied_units	the string representing the units of the value as supplied by the config file.
target_units	the string representing the native units used by JSBSim to which the value returned will be converted.

FindElementValueAsNumberConvertTo()

double FindElementValueAsNumberConvertTo	(	const std::string &	el,
		const std::string &	target_units
	)

Searches for the named element and converts and returns the data belonging to it.

This function allows the data belonging to a named element to be returned as a double. If no element is found, HUGE_VAL is returned. If no argument is supplied, the data for the first element is returned. Additionally, this function converts the value from the units specified in the config file (via the UNITS="" attribute in the element definition) to the native units used by JSBSim itself, as specified by the target_units parameter. The currently allowable unit conversions are seen in the source file FGXMLElement.cpp. Also, see above in the main documentation for this class.

Parameters

FindNextElement()

Element * FindNextElement

(

const std::string &

el = ""

)

Searches for the next element as specified.

This function would be called after FindElement() is first called (in order to reset the internal counter). If no argument is supplied (or the empty string) a pointer to the very next element is returned. Otherwise, the next occurence of the named element is returned. If the end of the list is reached, 0 is returned.

Parameters

el	the name of the next element to find.

Returns

the pointer to the found element, or 0 if no appropriate element us found.

GetAttributeValueAsNumber()

double GetAttributeValueAsNumber

(

Retrieves an attribute value as a double precision real number.

Parameters

key	specifies the attribute key to retrieve the value of.

GetDataAsNumber()

double GetDataAsNumber

(

)

Converts the element data to a number.

This function attempts to convert the first (and presumably only) line of data "owned" by the element into a real number. If there is not exactly one line of data owned by the element, then HUGE_VAL is returned.

Returns

the numeric value of the data owned by the element.

GetDataLine()

string GetDataLine

(

unsigned int

i = 0

)

Gets a line of data belonging to an element.

Parameters

i	the index of the data line to return (0 by default).

Returns

a string representing the data line requested, or the empty string if none exists.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

GetElement()

Element * GetElement

(

unsigned int

el = 0

)

Returns a pointer to the element requested by index.

This function also resets an internal counter to the index, so that subsequent calls to GetNextElement() will return the following elements sequentially, until the last element is reached. At that point, GetNextElement() will return NULL.

Parameters

el	the index of the requested element (0 by default)

Returns

a pointer to the Element, or 0 if no valid element exists.

Definition at line 296 of file FGXMLElement.cpp.

GetNextElement()

Element * GetNextElement

(

void

)

Returns a pointer to the next element in the list.

The function GetElement() must be called first to be sure that this function will return the correct element. The call to GetElement() resets the internal counter to zero. Subsequent calls to GetNextElement() return a pointer to subsequent elements in the list. When the final element is reached, 0 is returned.

Returns

a pointer to the next Element in the sequence, or 0 if no valid Element is present.

MergeAttributes()

void MergeAttributes

(

Element *

)

Merges the attributes of the current element with another element.

The attributes from the current element override the element that is passed as a parameter. In other words if the two elements have an attribute with the same name, the attribute from the current element is kept and the corresponding attribute of the other element is ignored.

Parameters

el	element with which the current element will merge its attributes.
