From f5d79b4e75e9a577f58fdb8e055297fe0c0f81a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: rideout Date: Thu, 16 May 2002 17:42:06 +0000 Subject: The source code does not use the "brilldata3D" keyword for ADMBase::initial_data, but the boolean "axisym" parameter instead. I prefer the former, but have adjusted the documentation to describe the (currently coded) latter. git-svn-id: http://svn.einsteintoolkit.org/cactus/EinsteinInitialData/IDBrillData/trunk@74 a678b1cf-93e1-4b43-a69d-d43939e66649 --- doc/documentation.tex | 21 ++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/documentation.tex b/doc/documentation.tex index f820382..49731f9 100644 --- a/doc/documentation.tex +++ b/doc/documentation.tex @@ -32,19 +32,30 @@ solved numerically once the function $q$ has been specified.
