Notes

Field to point functions act on fields to produce points:

f: \left| \begin{array}{rcl} \cM_N \times (\Rset^d)^N & \rightarrow &\Rset^{d'} \\ F & \mapsto & \vect{v}' \end{array} \right.

with \cM_N a mesh of \cD \subset \Rset^n.

A field is represented by a collection (\vect{t}_i, \vect{v}_i)_{1 \leq i \leq N} of elements of \cM_N \times (\Rset^d)^N where \vect{t}_i is a vertex of \cM_N and \vect{v}_i the associated value in \Rset^d.

The two first constructors build an object which evaluation operator is not defined (it throws a NotYetImplementedException). The instanciation of such an object is used to extract an actual FieldToPointFunction from a Study.

Examples

>>> import openturns as ot

Use the class OpenTURNSPythonFieldToPointFunction to create a function that acts on fields of input dimension n=1 and input dimension d=2 and returns their spatial mean vector of dimension d'=2.

Using the class OpenTURNSPythonFieldToPointFunction allows to define a persistent state between the evaluations of the function.

>>> class FUNC(ot.OpenTURNSPythonFieldToPointFunction):
...     def __init__(self):
...         # first argument:
...         mesh = ot.RegularGrid(0.0, 0.1, 11)
...         super(FUNC, self).__init__(mesh, 2, 2)
...         self.setInputDescription(['R', 'S'])
...         self.setOutputDescription(['T', 'U'])  
...     def _exec(self, X):
...         Xs = ot.Sample(X)
...         Y = Xs.computeMean()
...         return Y
>>> F = FUNC()

Create the associated FieldToPointFunction:

>>> myFunc = ot.FieldToPointFunction(F)

It is also possible to create a FieldToPointFunction from a python function as follows:

>>> def myPyFunc(X):
...     Xs = ot.Sample(X)
...     Y = Xs.computeMean()
...     return Y
>>> inputDim = 2
>>> outputDim = 2
>>> mesh = ot.RegularGrid(0.0, 0.1, 11)
>>> myFunc = ot.PythonFieldToPointFunction(mesh, inputDim, outputDim, myPyFunc)

Evaluate the function on a field:

>>> myField = ot.Field(mesh, ot.Normal(2).getSample(11))
>>> Y = myFunc(myField)
