Detailed Description

This class represents an fixed size array containing joint values of a KDL::Chain.

Warning:
An object constructed with the default constructor provides a valid, but inert, object. Many of the member functions will do the correct thing and have no affect on this object, but some member functions can _NOT_ deal with an inert/empty object. These functions will assert() and exit the program instead. The intended use case for the default constructor (in an RTT/OCL setting) is outlined in code below - the default constructor plus the resize() function allow use of JntArray objects whose size is set within a configureHook() call (typically based on a size determined from a property).
class MyTask : public RTT::TaskContext
{
   JntArray             j;
   MyTask() 
   {}                   // invokes j's default constructor

   bool configureHook()
   {
       unsigned int size = some_property.rvalue();
           j.resize(size)
           ...
   }

   void updateHook()
   {
 use j here
   }
};

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Construct with _no_ data array

Postcondition:
NULL == data
0 == rows()
Warning:
use of an object constructed like this, without a resize() first, may result in program exit! See class documentation.

Definition at line 28 of file jntarray.cpp.

KDL::JntArray::JntArray ( unsigned int  size) [explicit]

Constructor of the joint array

Parameters:
sizesize of the array, this cannot be changed afterwards.
Precondition:
0 < size
Postcondition:
NULL != data
0 < rows()
all elements in data have 0 value

Definition at line 32 of file jntarray.cpp.

Copy constructor

Note:
Will correctly copy an empty object

Definition at line 39 of file jntarray.cpp.

Definition at line 51 of file jntarray.cpp.


Member Function Documentation

unsigned int KDL::JntArray::columns ( ) const

Returns the number of columns of the array, always 1.

Definition at line 77 of file jntarray.cpp.

double KDL::JntArray::operator() ( unsigned int  i,
unsigned int  j = 0 
) const

get_item operator for the joint array, if a second value is given it should be zero, since a JntArray resembles a column.

Returns:
the joint value at position i, starting from 0
Precondition:
0 != size (ie non-default constructor or resize() called)

Definition at line 60 of file jntarray.cpp.

double & KDL::JntArray::operator() ( unsigned int  i,
unsigned int  j = 0 
)

set_item operator, again if a second value is given it should be zero.

Returns:
reference to the joint value at position i,starting from zero.
Precondition:
0 != size (ie non-default constructor or resize() called)

Definition at line 66 of file jntarray.cpp.

JntArray & KDL::JntArray::operator= ( const JntArray arg)

Definition at line 44 of file jntarray.cpp.

void KDL::JntArray::resize ( unsigned int  newSize)

Resize the array

Warning:
This causes a dynamic allocation (and potentially also a dynamic deallocation). This _will_ negatively affect real-time performance!
Postcondition:
newSize == rows()
NULL != data
all elements in data have 0 value

Definition at line 55 of file jntarray.cpp.

unsigned int KDL::JntArray::rows ( ) const

Returns the number of rows (size) of the array

Definition at line 72 of file jntarray.cpp.


Friends And Related Function Documentation

void Add ( const JntArray src1,
const JntArray src2,
JntArray dest 
) [friend]

Function to add two joint arrays, all the arguments must have the same size: A + B = C. This function is aliasing-safe, A or B can be the same array as C.

Parameters:
src1A
src2B
destC

Definition at line 82 of file jntarray.cpp.

void Divide ( const JntArray src,
const double &  factor,
JntArray dest 
) [friend]

Function to divide all the array values with a scalar factor: A/b=C. This function is aliasing-safe, A can be the same array as C.

Parameters:
srcA
factorb
destC

Definition at line 97 of file jntarray.cpp.

bool Equal ( const JntArray src1,
const JntArray src2,
double  eps 
) [friend]

Function to check if two arrays are the same with a precision of eps

Parameters:
src1
src2
epsdefault: epsilon
Returns:
true if each element of src1 is within eps of the same element in src2, or if both src1 and src2 have no data (ie 0==rows())

Definition at line 113 of file jntarray.cpp.

void Multiply ( const JntArray src,
const double &  factor,
JntArray dest 
) [friend]

Function to multiply all the array values with a scalar factor: A*b=C. This function is aliasing-safe, A can be the same array as C.

Parameters:
srcA
factorb
destC

Definition at line 92 of file jntarray.cpp.

void MultiplyJacobian ( const Jacobian jac,
const JntArray src,
Twist dest 
) [friend]

Function to multiply a KDL::Jacobian with a KDL::JntArray to get a KDL::Twist, it should not be used to calculate the forward velocity kinematics, the solver classes are built for this purpose. J*q = t

Parameters:
jacJ
srcq
destt
Postcondition:
dest==Twist::Zero() if 0==src.rows() (ie src is empty)

Definition at line 102 of file jntarray.cpp.

bool operator== ( const JntArray src1,
const JntArray src2 
) [friend]

Definition at line 120 of file jntarray.cpp.

void SetToZero ( JntArray array) [friend]

Function to set all the values of the array to 0

Parameters:
array

Definition at line 108 of file jntarray.cpp.

void Subtract ( const JntArray src1,
const JntArray src2,
JntArray dest 
) [friend]

Function to subtract two joint arrays, all the arguments must have the same size: A - B = C. This function is aliasing-safe, A or B can be the same array as C.

Parameters:
src1A
src2B
destC
