Plugins: analysis on selected window only #89

Open ax3l opened 10 years ago

ax3l commented 10 years ago

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

f-schmitt commented 10 years ago

see #403 for using the moving window

PrometheusPi commented 10 years ago

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

ax3l commented 10 years ago

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.

PrometheusPi commented 10 years ago

Thanks for the explanation. I agree.

ax3l commented 8 years ago

Note: can be solved with #1288

@steindev is this issue still relevant?

PrometheusPi commented 1 month ago

@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?
