ompl::base::GenericParam Class Referenceabstract

Motion planning algorithms often employ parameters to guide their exploration process. (e.g., goal biasing). Motion planners (and some of their components) use this class to declare what the parameters are, in a generic way, so that they can be set externally. More...

Public Member Functions

 GenericParam (std::string name)
 The constructor of a parameter takes the name of the parameter (name)
 
const std::string & getName () const
 Get the name of the parameter.
 
void setName (const std::string &name)
 Set the name of the parameter.
 
virtual bool setValue (const std::string &value)=0
 Set the value of the parameter. The value is taken in as a string, but converted to the type of that parameter.
 
virtual std::string getValue () const =0
 Retrieve the value of the parameter, as a string.
 
template<typename T >
GenericParamoperator= (const T &value)
 Assignment operator by type. This is just for convenience, as it just calls setValue()
 
void setRangeSuggestion (const std::string &rangeSuggestion)
 Set a suggested range.
 
const std::string & getRangeSuggestion () const
 Get the suggested range of values.
 

Protected Attributes

std::string name_
 The name of the parameter.
 
std::string rangeSuggestion_
 Suggested range for the parameter. More...

◆ rangeSuggestion_

std::string ompl::base::GenericParam::rangeSuggestion_
protected

Suggested range for the parameter.

This can be used to provide a hint to, e.g., a GUI. The convention used in OMPL is to denote ranges for the following types as follows:

  • bool: "0,1"
  • enum: "<enum_val0>,<enum_val1>,<enum_val2>,..."
  • int, double: either "first:last" or "first:stepsize:last". In the first case, the stepsize is assumed to be 1. It is important to use floating point representations for double ranges (i.e., "1." instead of "1") to make sure the type is deduced correctly.
