Detailed Description

Various helpful static methods for people writing their own executables within the Chaste framework.

Most executables will just need to call StandardStartup as the first thing in their main() function, and FinalizePetsc before quitting. The other methods allow you to fine-tune what output is presented to users.

void ExecutableSupport::Print ( const std::string & rMessage )

static

Display an informative message to the user, on stdout. Message is only displayed by master process

Parameters

rMessage the message to display

void ExecutableSupport::PrintError	(	const std::string &	rMessage,
		bool	masterOnly = `false`
	)

static

Display an error message to the user, on stderr.

Parameters

rMessage	the message to display
masterOnly	whether only the master process should display the error

void ExecutableSupport::SetOutputDirectory ( const std::string & rOutputDirectory )

static

Set the directory to which the files created by WriteMachineInfoFile, and WriteProvenanceInfoFile will be written. By default they will write to the CHASTE_TEST_OUTPUT folder.

Parameters

rOutputDirectory the directory to write to
