Dear all,
this week the grid-howto got updated and does describe the DGF
parser. I would like to comment on some of these changes.
* The howto states that it is necessary to use obscure preprocessor
macros to use the DGF parser. I think the user should not be
encouraged to use preprocessor macros. We want to teach then a clean
programming stile. The preprocessor does obfuscate the code and it
get's more difficult to debug. The examples should be adjusted such
that the GridType macro is not used.
* The howto does only offer a very brief introduction to the DGF
parser and refers to the doxygen documentation for all further
information. I think a howto should explain a little more than
this.
* The tutorial was structured in a step by step fashion. The unitcube
class was introduced to ease the creation of different grids. Now
some applications use the DGF parse to create these unitcubes. I
don't really see an advantage in this behaviour. I would prefer to
have an additional application that teachs the usage of the DGF
parser.
Cheers Christian
