NAME

       quadrature_option_type - send options to the integrate function

SYNOPSYS

       The  quadrature_option_type  class  is  used to send options to the integrate function see
       integrate(4).  This class allows to set the family (Gauss,  Gauss-Lobatto,  etc)  and  the
       polynomial degree that is exactly integrated.

       A special family name, call equispaced, refers to an equispaced set of point, suitable for
       some irregular functions, e.g. the Heaviside function.  In that case, the order  parameter
       refers  to  the  number  of  nodes  used.  For instance, order=1 refers to the trapezoidal
       formulae and for the general case, there are order+1 nodes per edges.  See  also  the  see
       quadrature(2) for more on quadrature formulae.

       public:

               gauss_radau     = 2,
               middle_edge     = 3,
               superconvergent = 4,
               equispaced      = 5,
               max_family      = 6
         } family_type; // update also family_name[] in quatrature.cc
