Class Scine::Utils::Settings¶

class Settings : public Scine::Utils::UniversalSettings::ValueCollection ¶

An interface for settings of all sorts.

This interface allows all other interfaces in Scine::Core to have a central place for Settings, while their implementations maintain their specific settings independently.

Implementation Notes:

A derived class of the Settings class has to define a construcor that populates the protected _fields member with a set of possible options and their default/descriptions.

Subclassed by Scine::Utils::AfirOptimizerSettings< OptimizerType, ConvergenceCheckType >, Scine::Utils::ExternalQC::GaussianCalculatorSettings, Scine::Utils::ExternalQC::OrcaCalculatorSettings, Scine::Utils::GeometryOptimizerSettings< OptimizerType, ConvergenceCheckType >, Scine::Utils::IRCOptimizerSettings< OptimizerType, ConvergenceCheckType >, Scine::Utils::MolecularDynamicsSettings
