Detailed Description

This is the base class for any type to be stored in Values. Note: As of GTSAM 4.0, Value types should no longer derive from Value or DerivedValue. Use type traits instead. See https://bitbucket.org/gtborg/gtsam/wiki/Migrating%20from%20GTSAM%203.X%20to%20GTSAM%204.0#markdown-header-custom-value-types for current usage and migration details.

Virutal destructor

Member Function Documentation

cast()

template<typename ValueType >

const ValueType & gtsam::Value::cast

(

)

const

Cast to known ValueType

clone()

virtual std::shared_ptr<Value> gtsam::Value::clone ( ) const

pure virtual

Clone this value (normal clone on the heap, delete with 'delete' operator)

Implemented in gtsam::GenericValue< T >.

clone_()

virtual Value* gtsam::Value::clone_ ( ) const

pure virtual

Clone this value in a special memory pool, must be deleted with Value::deallocate_, not with the 'delete' operator.

Implemented in gtsam::GenericValue< T >.

deallocate_()

virtual void gtsam::Value::deallocate_ ( ) const

pure virtual

Deallocate a raw pointer of this value

Implemented in gtsam::GenericValue< T >.

dim()

virtual size_t gtsam::Value::dim ( ) const

pure virtual

Return the dimensionality of the tangent space of this value. This is the dimensionality of delta passed into retract() and of the vector returned by localCoordinates().

Returns

The dimensionality of the tangent space

Implemented in gtsam::GenericValue< T >.

equals_()

virtual bool gtsam::Value::equals_ ( const Value &  other, double  tol = 1e-9  ) const

pure virtual

Compare this Value with another for equality.

Implemented in gtsam::GenericValue< T >.

localCoordinates_()

virtual Vector gtsam::Value::localCoordinates_ ( const Value &  value ) const

pure virtual

Compute the coordinates in the tangent space of this value that retract() would map to value.

Parameters

value

The value whose coordinates should be determined in the tangent space of the value on which this function is called.

Returns

The coordinates of value in the tangent space of this.

Implemented in gtsam::GenericValue< T >.

operator=()

virtual Value& gtsam::Value::operator= ( const Value &  )

inlinevirtual

Assignment operator

Reimplemented in gtsam::GenericValue< T >.

print()

virtual void gtsam::Value::print ( const std::string &  str = "" ) const

pure virtual

Print this value, for debugging and unit tests

Implemented in gtsam::GenericValue< T >.

retract_()

virtual Value* gtsam::Value::retract_ ( const Vector &  delta ) const

pure virtual

Increment the value, by mapping from the vector delta in the tangent space of the current value back to the manifold to produce a new, incremented value.

Parameters

delta

The delta vector in the tangent space of this value, by which to increment this value.

Implemented in gtsam::GenericValue< T >.
