declare_scratch()

ScalarRef MayaFlux::Buffers::VolumeGridBuffer::declare_scratch

(

std::string

name

)

Declare a single-slot scalar field.

Parameters

name	Lookup key, unique within this volume.

Returns

Ref naming the field, or a ref with an empty name if the declaration was rejected.

Read and write resolve to one handle, which suits a quantity recomputed from other fields every cycle and never carried across cycles: divergence is the ordinary case. A stage that reads a neighbourhood of a field it also writes cannot use one of these, and VolumeFieldProcessor rejects that arrangement at attach.
