ConstantReporter

Reporter with constant values to be accessed by other objects, can be modified using transfers.

Overview

ConstantReporter gives the ability to produce integer, real number, and string reporter data along with vectors of each type. The user must specify the following parameters for each type:

int: "integer_names" and "integer_values"
Real: "real_names" and "real_values"
std::string: "string_names" and "string_values"
std::vector<int>: "integer_vector_names" and "integer_vector_values"
std::vector<Real>: "real_vector_names" and "real_vector_values"
std::vector<std::string>: "string_vector_names" and "string_vector_values"

The user may specify more than one value of the same type, which will create multiple reporter values of that type.

note:Reporter names

The reporter names created by the ConstantReporter match the names passed in each of the _names parameters.
