Detailed Description

template<typename MPTraits>
class ValidationStrategy< MPTraits >

Runs another MPStrategy (the target) and compares the output(s) to gold standard(s) specified as input files. This exists to test changes in the code and ensure that the target's behavior hasn't changed.

Member Function Documentation

Initialize()

template<typename MPTraits >

void ValidationStrategy< MPTraits >::Initialize

overridevirtual

Initialize this object for the current MPProblem. This should reset any internal state of the algorithms so that they are ready for execution. It is also the place to initialize any state that depends on the current problem.

Warning

This member will be called for every compiled algorithm in the planning library - even those that will not be used. If an algorithm needs to do expenisve setup, then this method should only set a flag that tells it to do so on first use. The only exceptions are the MPStrategies, which will only have their initialize called on first use.

Reimplemented from MPBaseObject< MPTraits >.

Run()

template<typename MPTraits >

void ValidationStrategy< MPTraits >::Run

overridevirtual

Call Iterate until EvaluateMap is true.

Reimplemented from MPStrategyMethod< MPTraits >.

Finalize()

template<typename MPTraits >

void ValidationStrategy< MPTraits >::Finalize

overridevirtual

Clean-up and output results.

Reimplemented from MPStrategyMethod< MPTraits >.

Print()

template<typename MPTraits >

void MPStrategyMethod< MPTraits >::Print ( std::ostream &  _os ) const

overridevirtualinherited

Print internal state of this object.

Parameters

_os	The std::ostream to print to.

Reimplemented from MPBaseObject< MPTraits >.

Reimplemented in AdaptiveRRT< MPTraits >, BasicRRTStrategy< MPTraits >, BasicPRM< MPTraits >, GroupDecoupledStrategy< MPTraits >, and TogglePRMStrategy< MPTraits >.

EnableOutputFiles()

template<typename MPTraits >

void MPStrategyMethod< MPTraits >::EnableOutputFiles ( const bool  _enable = true )

inherited

Set output file writing to on or off (on by default). This is used to suppress generation of roadmap, path, and stat files.

Parameters

_enable

True to enable, false to disable.

Iterate()

template<typename MPTraits >

virtual void MPStrategyMethod< MPTraits >::Iterate ( )

protectedvirtualinherited

Execute one iteration of the strategy.

Reimplemented in BasicPRM< MPTraits >, BasicRRTStrategy< MPTraits >, GroupDecoupledStrategy< MPTraits >, and TogglePRMStrategy< MPTraits >.

GenerateStart()

template<typename MPTraits >

size_t MPStrategyMethod< MPTraits >::GenerateStart ( const std::string &  _samplerLabel = "" )

protectedvirtualinherited

Generate a 'start' node for the task and add it to the roadmap.

Parameters

_samplerLabel

The label for the sampler to use if no query sampler was provided, or empty to require a query sampler.

Returns

The VID of the generated configuration.

Note

This returns size_t so that it will work for both individual and group strategies (all VID types are typedefs for size_t).

Reimplemented in GroupStrategyMethod< MPTraits >.

GenerateGoals()

template<typename MPTraits >

std::vector< size_t > MPStrategyMethod< MPTraits >::GenerateGoals ( const std::string &  _samplerLabel = "" )

protectedvirtualinherited

Generate 'goal' node(s) for the task and add it(them) to the roadmap.

Parameters

_samplerLabel

The label for the sampler to use if no query sampler was provided, or empty to require a query sampler.

Returns

The VIDs of the generated configurations.

Note

This returns size_t so that it will work for both individual and group strategies (all VID types are typedefs for size_t).

Reimplemented in GroupStrategyMethod< MPTraits >.

SetName()

template<typename MPTraits >

void MPBaseObject< MPTraits >::SetName ( const std::string &  _s )

protectedinherited

Parameters

_s	Class name

GetBaseFilename()

template<typename MPTraits >

const std::string & MPBaseObject< MPTraits >::GetBaseFilename ( ) const

protectedinherited

Returns

base file name from MPProblem
