I would like a method to get the origin and extent of a Layout. This would be generally handy, and necessary for dealing with data structures that don't have halo...

I would like a method to tell me if coordinates are valid ("in bounds"). I think like BoundsCheck(), only returning a boolean rather than throwing/not throwing an exception. This is...

Try to make points() a little less heavyweight

3

This starts to remove the type insurance code since we are fairly sure we will get index_t. Needs testing.

Representing structured data with equal-sized element and vertex arrays

5

One particular data format we want to represent in Blueprint stores the same count of vertices and elements along a dimension. (Mesh Blueprint needs to represent n+1 vertices with n...

Document AMR; document corners

1

Some blueprint mesh operations, like flattening AMR or generating "corners," get pretty involved. For ease of comprehension, and to save brain sweat, we need more documentation with nice diagrams, intermediate...

Use case: if heuristics are needed to say whether a leaf is a numeric or a string, look at the tag.

Group::save then load round trip should give equivalent result

4

We currently guarantee equivalency when using the `sidre_hdf5` protocol to save a Group then load it into another group. - Currently the tests for equivalency after `load()` all have `if...

Group::load() and save() should return a success value

3

The lack of a success return value was a mistake in our design.

Add `explicit` to all one-argument ctors

1

Survey the code: find all the single-argument constructors where we should add the `explicit` keyword. There may be places where we want to allow implicit construction. We might not be...

1D to Strip

Adds a verify() function and strip-conversion routines
