## Detailed Description

A system of grid generators.

An object of the class Grid_Generator_System is a system of grid generators, i.e., a multiset of objects of the class Grid_Generator (lines, parameters and points). When inserting generators in a system, space dimensions are automatically adjusted so that all the generators in the system are defined on the same vector space. A system of grid generators which is meant to define a non-empty grid must include at least one point: the reason is that lines and parameters need a supporting point (lines only specify directions while parameters only specify direction and distance.

  In all the examples it is assumed that variables `x` and `y` are defined as follows:
  Variable x(0);
  Variable y(1);

Example 1
  The following code defines the line having the same direction as the axis (i.e., the first Cartesian axis) in :
  Grid_Generator_System gs;
  gs.insert(grid_line(x + 0*y));
  As said above, this system of generators corresponds to an empty grid, because the line has no supporting point. To define a system of generators that does correspond to the axis, we can add the following code which inserts the origin of the space as a point:
  gs.insert(grid_point(0*x + 0*y));
  Since space dimensions are automatically adjusted, the following code obtains the same effect:
  gs.insert(grid_point(0*x));
  In contrast, if we had added the following code, we would have defined a line parallel to the axis through the point .
  gs.insert(grid_point(0*x + 1*y));

Example 2
  The following code builds a system of generators corresponding to the grid consisting of all the integral points on the axes; that is, all points satisfying the congruence relation

  Grid_Generator_System gs;
  gs.insert(parameter(x + 0*y));
  gs.insert(grid_point(0*x + 0*y));

Example 3
  The following code builds a system of generators having three points corresponding to a non-relational grid consisting of all points whose coordinates are integer multiple of 3.
  Grid_Generator_System gs;
  gs.insert(grid_point(0*x + 0*y));
  gs.insert(grid_point(0*x + 3*y));
  gs.insert(grid_point(3*x + 0*y));

Example 4
  By using parameters instead of two of the points we can define the same grid as that defined in the previous example. Note that there has to be at least one point and, for this purpose, any point in the grid could be considered. Thus the following code builds two identical grids from the grid generator systems `gs` and `gs1`.
  Grid_Generator_System gs;
  gs.insert(grid_point(0*x + 0*y));
  gs.insert(parameter(0*x + 3*y));
  gs.insert(parameter(3*x + 0*y));
  Grid_Generator_System gs1;
  gs1.insert(grid_point(3*x + 3*y));
  gs1.insert(parameter(0*x + 3*y));
  gs1.insert(parameter(3*x + 0*y));

Example 5
  The following code builds a system of generators having one point and a parameter corresponding to all the integral points that lie on in
  Grid_Generator_System gs;
  gs.insert(grid_point(1*x + 1*y));
  gs.insert(parameter(1*x - 1*y));

Note
  After inserting a multiset of generators in a grid generator system, there are no guarantees that an exact copy of them can be retrieved: in general, only an equivalent grid generator system will be available, where original generators may have been reordered, removed (if they are duplicate or redundant), etc.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Grid_Generator_System::Grid_Generator_System | ( | const Grid_Generator_System & | gs | ) |

inline

Ordinary copy constructor. The new Grid_Generator_System will have the same representation as `gs'.

## Member Function Documentation

void Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Grid_Generator_System::insert | ( | const Grid_Generator & | g | ) |

Inserts into `*this` a copy of the generator `g`, increasing the number of space dimensions if needed.

If `g` is an all-zero parameter then the only action is to ensure that the space dimension of `*this` is at least the space dimension of `g`.

bool Parma_Polyhedra_Library::Grid_Generator_System::ascii_load | ( | std::istream & | s | ) |

Loads from `s` an ASCII representation (as produced by ascii_dump(std::ostream&) const) and sets `*this` accordingly. Returns `true` if successful, `false` otherwise.

Resizes the matrix of generators using the numbers of rows and columns read from `s`, then initializes the coordinates of each generator and its type reading the contents from `s`.
