Detailed Description

IdfObject holds and manipulates data in the EnergyPlus Idd/Idf format.

An IdfObject consists of an IddObject, which defines the IdfObject's data, some number of string fields (that must conform to the IddObject), and user comments. In text, an IdfObject follows the syntax of (with method calls replaced with their returned strings):

IdfObject.comment()
IddObject.name(),
IdfObject.getString(0), IdfObject.fieldComment(0)
IdfObject.getString(1), IdfObject.fieldComment(1)
...
IdfObject.getString(IdfObject.numFields()-1); IdfObject.fieldComment(IdfObject.numFields()-1)

IdfObject is shared, that is, on copy construction the original IdfObject and the new one share their data. If you want an unconnected IdfObject initialized with the same data, use .clone().

All fields are stored internally as text. Conversions to numeric types may not succeed.

Field indexing follows the C/C++ convention: 0, 1, ...

On its own, IdfObject maintains validity at enums::Strictness level None.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

openstudio::IdfObject::IdfObject ( IddObjectType  type,
bool  fastName = false 
)
explicit

Constructor from type.

Equivalent to IdfObject(IddFactory::instance.iddObject(type)), unless type == IddObjectType::UserCustom, in which case, the constructed object is equivalent to IdfObject(IddObjectType::Catchall). If fastName is true a UUID is assigned as the name, otherwise no name is assigned.

openstudio::IdfObject::IdfObject ( const IddObject ,
bool  fastName = false 
)
explicit

Constructor from iddObject.

If fastName is true a UUID is assigned as the name, otherwise no name is assigned.

openstudio::IdfObject::IdfObject ( const IdfObject other)

Copy constructor.

Shares data with other, so changes made by either copy affects the data of both.

virtual openstudio::IdfObject::~IdfObject ( )
inlinevirtual
openstudio::IdfObject::IdfObject ( std::shared_ptr< detail::IdfObject_Impl >  impl)
