"""Callback Locations
------------------
These are the functions which allow installing user created functions so that
they are called at various places along the time step.
The following three functions allow the user to install, uninstall and verify
the different call back types.
* :py:func:`installcallback`: Installs a function to be called at that specified time
* :py:func:`uninstallcallback`: Uninstalls the function (so it won't be called anymore)
* :py:func:`isinstalled`: Checks if the function is installed
These functions all take a callback location name (string) and function or
instance method as an argument. Note that if an instance method is used, an
extra reference to the method's object is saved.
Functions can be called at the following times:
* ``loadExternalFields``: during ``WarpX::LoadExternalFields`` to write ``B/Efield_fp_external`` values
* ``beforeInitEsolve``: before the initial solve for the E fields (i.e. before the PIC loop starts)
* ``afterinit``: immediately after the init is complete
* ``beforeEsolve``: before the solve for E fields
* ``poissonsolver``: In place of the computePhi call but only in an electrostatic simulation
* ``afterEsolve``: after the solve for E fields
* ``afterBpush``: after the B field advance for electromagnetic solvers
* ``afterEpush``: after the E field advance for electromagnetic solvers
* ``beforedeposition``: before the particle deposition (for charge and/or current)
* ``afterdeposition``: after particle deposition (for charge and/or current)
* ``beforestep``: before the time step
* ``afterstep``: after the time step
* ``afterdiagnostics``: after diagnostic output
* ``oncheckpointsignal``: on a checkpoint signal
* ``onbreaksignal``: on a break signal. These callbacks will be the last ones executed before the simulation ends.
* ``particlescraper``: just after the particle boundary conditions are applied
but before lost particles are processed
* ``particleloader``: at the time that the standard particle loader is called
* ``particleinjection``: called when particle injection happens, after the position
advance and before deposition is called, allowing a user
defined particle distribution to be injected each time step
Example that calls the Python function ``myplots`` after each step:
.. code-block:: python3
from pywarpx.callbacks import installcallback
def myplots():
# do something here
installcallback('afterstep', myplots)
# run simulation
sim.step(nsteps=100)
The install can also be done using a `Python decorator <https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-decorator>`__, which has the prefix ``callfrom``.
To use a decorator, the syntax is as follows. This will install the function ``myplots`` to be called after each step.
The above example is quivalent to the following:
.. code-block:: python3
from pywarpx.callbacks import callfromafterstep
@callfromafterstep
def myplots():
# do something here
# run simulation
sim.step(nsteps=100)

Class to handle call back function lists.
Note that for functions passed in that are methods of a class instance,
a full reference of the instance is saved. This extra reference means
that the object will not actually be deleted if the user deletes the
original reference. This is good since the user does not need to keep
the reference to the object (for example it can be created using a local
variable in a function). It may be bad if the user thinks an object was
deleted, but it actually isn't since it had (unknown to the user)
installed a method in one of the call back lists.
