Plugins: analysis on selected window only

Open ax3l opened this issue 12 years ago • 7 comments

Plugins that calculate

  • total Energy
  • energy histograms
  • images
  • data output
  • slices
  • phase space
  • ...

should operate on the volume given by the VirtualWindow only.

Affects: plugins for moving window simulations.

Possible solution: #1288

see #403 for using the moving window

Why? The part outside the VirtualWindowis still correct from a physics point of view, isn't it?

I don't think that a step-wise jumping energy histogram, particle counter or phase space is sexy. GPU-wise sliding introduces an artificial jump in all quantities which are not obvious for a user that focusses on the moving window.

Thanks for the explanation. I agree.

Note: can be solved with #1288

@steindev is this issue still relevant?

@BrianMarre as far as I know, this is still an issue. @psychocoderHPC do you agree that we still operate on the entire volume, not just the moving volume, and that there is no default filter that covers that?
