Detailed Description

template<int dim, typename Number = double>
class ScalarFunctionFromFunctionObject< dim, Number >

This class provides a way to convert a scalar function of the kind

Number foo (const Point<dim> &);

into an object of type Function<dim>. Since the argument returns a scalar, the result is clearly a Function object for which function.n_components==1. The class works by storing a pointer to the given function and every time function.value(p,component) is called, calls foo(p) and returns the corresponding value. It also makes sure that component is in fact zero, as needs be for scalar functions.

The class provides an easy way to turn a simple global function into something that has the required Function<dim> interface for operations like VectorTools::interpolate_boundary_values() etc., and thereby allows for simpler experimenting without having to write all the boiler plate code of declaring a class that is derived from Function and implementing the Function::value() function. An example of this is given in the results section of step-53.

The class gains additional expressive power because the argument it takes does not have to be a pointer to an actual function. Rather, it is a function object, i.e., it can also be the result of call to std::bind (or boost::bind) or some other object that can be called with a single argument. For example, if you need a Function object that returns the norm of a point, you could write it like so:

template <int dim, typename Number>
class Norm : public Function<dim, Number> {
  public:
    virtual Number value (const Point<dim> &p,
                          const unsigned int component) const {
      Assert (component == 0, ExcMessage ("This object is scalar!"));
      return p.norm();
    }
 };
 Norm<2> my_norm_object;

and then pass the my_norm_object around, or you could write it like so:

ScalarFunctionFromFunctionObject<dim, Number> my_norm_object (&Point<dim>::norm);

Similarly, to generate an object that computes the distance to a point q, we could do this:

template <int dim, typename Number>
class DistanceTo : public Function<dim, Number> {
  public:
    DistanceTo (const Point<dim> &q) : q(q) {}
    virtual Number value (const Point<dim> &p,
                          const unsigned int component) const {
      Assert (component == 0, ExcMessage ("This object is scalar!"));
      return q.distance(p);
    }
  private:
    const Point<dim> q;
 };
 Point<2> q (2,3);
 DistanceTo<2> my_distance_object;

or we could write it like so:

ScalarFunctionFromFunctionObject<dim, Number>
  my_distance_object (std_cxx11::bind (&Point<dim>::distance,
                                       q,
                                       std_cxx11::_1));

The savings in work to write this are apparent.
