This function was actually being directed into 'thermoget' and calling the
'newFromXML' method (on a non-existent XML tree) instead of calling the 'del'
method.
At some point (after version 2014b), Matlab started passing an additional
argument to 'display', which broke the logic for setting the default
threshold. This caused all composition data to be excluded from the report shown
by typing the name of the phase object.
Because normalizing the species coverages leads to incorrect Jacobian
calculations, it is sometimes necessary to not normalize the coverages.
As for bulk species mass/mole fractions, this option is currently only
available when passing the coverages as a vector (i.e., not available
for string identifiers).
The value of this argument has almost no effect on the integrator, and
frequently confuses users since the ReactorNet can end up at a time either
greater or less than the specified time. By removing this argument, the
distinction betwen step() and advance(t) becomes much more clear.
Without these functions, it was impossible to use these classes
without leaking memory. Even with these functions, the memory is
released only when these functions are explicitly called, as
old-style Matlab classes have no notion of a destructor.
Fixes#252.
Write plain text to the common Cantera logger to be more consistent with the
verbose/debug logging from other parts of Cantera. This simplifies several of
the transport initialization functions, and eliminates the need for class
XML_Writer.
These functions are used by some of the examples, and show how custom
reactor-like models can be implemented in Matlab. They are useful mostly as a
basis for user modifications.
The threshold for printing species is a new, optional parameter to the
'report' function. If any species are excluded, the total number of
minor species and their aggregate mass and mole fraction are printed.
There are three problems with this function. It does not work, since
it calls ctmethods with the wrong number of arguments. Even if that
were fixed, it wouldn't do what it claims, as the method it calls
generates a CTI file, not an XML file. Finally, it is redundant, as
the 'ck2cti' function can be used for generating the CTI file, and the
CTI to XML conversion is handled automatically when importing the
phase.
Therefore, this function is being removed.
