This page will eventually be a compact listing of the different functions and classes provided by the C++ interface.

Currently, we haven't had time to write anything here. However, there are several other sources of information about the C++ interface:

• The source code — reading the sources and headers is our own main reference.
• The test programs included in the tests/ directory.
• The C++ tutorial.
• The original Meep manual, available from http://ab-initio.mit.edu/~meep/meep.pdf

Deprecated interfaces

Beware that some of the interfaces in the source code and in the old manual are now deprecated, as they have been superseded by newer features and may be removed at some point.

In particular, you should probably avoid:

• The monitor_point class. Just declare an array to store the fields you want, get them with fields::get_field, and analyze them with do_harminv. Or, to accumulate the DFT as you run, use the dft_chunk class via fields::add_dft.
• Slice and EPS output. This has been superseded by HDF5 output, which is much more flexible and efficient.
