UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Idea #1: Data Set Builder

A "data set builder" class, which can do several things:

  • allows one-at-a-time adding of cells, coordinate values, etc. in a way harder for array handles
  • defines a logical structure for you and helps ensure you've done everything necessary for a proper data set
  • has convenience functions for creating e.g. Cartesian rectilinear grids and other multi-step things
  • when you're done, it converts e.g. internal STL vectors to array handles and gives you a data set

Question: used for new data sets only, or can you use it to augment a data set? Concrete example: adding a new cell set to an existing data set.

  • One solution: not just a "data set builder" but other builders as well, like a "cell set builder", which can be used after having created a data set.
