Package org.orekit.propagation.sampling

Class OrekitStepNormalizer

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.propagation.sampling.OrekitStepNormalizer

All Implemented Interfaces:

OrekitStepHandler

public class OrekitStepNormalizer
extends Object
implements OrekitStepHandler

This class wraps an object implementing OrekitFixedStepHandler into a OrekitStepHandler.

It mirrors the StepNormalizer interface from Hipparchus but provides a space-dynamics interface to the methods.

Constructor Detail

OrekitStepNormalizer

public OrekitStepNormalizer(double h,
                            OrekitFixedStepHandler handler)

Simple constructor.

Parameters:

h - fixed time step (sign is not used)

handler - fixed time step handler to wrap

Method Detail

requiresDenseOutput

public boolean requiresDenseOutput()

Determines whether this handler needs dense output. This handler needs dense output in order to provide data at regularly spaced steps regardless of the steps the propagator uses, so this method always returns true.

Returns:

always true

init

public void init(SpacecraftState s0,
                 AbsoluteDate t)
          throws OrekitException

Initialize step handler at the start of a propagation.

This method is called once at the start of the propagation. It may be used by the step handler to initialize some internal data if needed.

The default method does nothing

Specified by:

init in interface OrekitStepHandler

Parameters:

s0 - initial state

t - target time for the integration

Throws:

OrekitException - if step handler cannot be initialized

handleStep

public void handleStep(OrekitStepInterpolator interpolator,
                       boolean isLast)
                throws OrekitException

Handle the last accepted step.

Specified by:

handleStep in interface OrekitStepHandler

Parameters:

interpolator - interpolator for the last accepted step. For efficiency purposes, the various propagators reuse the same object on each call, so if the instance wants to keep it across all calls (for example to provide at the end of the propagation a continuous model valid throughout the propagation range), it should build a local copy using the clone method and store this copy.

isLast - true if the step is the last one

Throws:

OrekitException - this exception is propagated to the caller if the underlying user function triggers one
