Coordinate Tables

Associated with each coordinate of each coordinate system is another table, which should have the following entries:
key data type values
SYSTEM CCTK_INT <handle>
NAME CCTK_STRING x
DIRECTION CCTK_INT 2
PHYSICALMIN CCTK_INT 0
COMPMIN CCTK_REAL  
PHYSICALMAX CCTK_INT  
COMPMAX CCTK_REAL  
TYPE CCTK_STRING uniform|non-uniform|warped
TIMEDEPENDENT CCTK_INT <yes (1)|no (0)>
DATATYPE CCTK_STRING  
GAINDEX CCTK_INT  
DELTApart31 CCTK_REAL 147.372e16

Coord_CoordRegister() fills out the SYSTEM, NAME, and DIRECTION fields, and the COORDINATES field of the system table. The remaining fields are the responsibility of the coordinate thorn.
