Detailed Description

Abstract class defining a region of the sphere.

It provides default implementation for the general non-convex polygon which can extend on more than 180 deg based on the OctahedronPolygon class. Subclasses provides special faster implementations of many methods.

Member Function Documentation

bool SphericalRegion::contains ( const SphericalRegion r  )  const

Returns whether a SphericalRegion is contained into this region.

A default potentially very slow implementation is provided for each cases.

virtual double SphericalRegion::getArea (  )  const [inline, virtual]

Return the area of the region in steradians.

Reimplemented in SphericalCap, SphericalPoint, AllSkySphericalRegion, EmptySphericalRegion, and SphericalConvexPolygon.

virtual SphericalCap SphericalRegion::getBoundingCap (  )  const [virtual]

Return a bounding SphericalCap.

This method is heavily used and therefore needs to be very fast. The returned SphericalCap doesn't have to be the smallest one, but smaller is better.

Reimplemented in SphericalCap, SphericalPoint, AllSkySphericalRegion, EmptySphericalRegion, SphericalPolygon, and SphericalConvexPolygon.

virtual QVector<SphericalCap> SphericalRegion::getBoundingSphericalCaps (  )  const [virtual]

Return the list of SphericalCap bounding the ConvexPolygon.

Reimplemented in SphericalConvexPolygon.

virtual SphericalRegionP SphericalRegion::getEnlarged ( double  margin  )  const [virtual]

Return an enlarged version of this SphericalRegion so that any point distant of more than the given margin now lays within the region.

The returned region can be larger than the smallest enlarging region, therefore returning false positive on subsequent intersection tests. The default implementation always return an enlarged bounding SphericalCap.

Parameters:
margin the minimum enlargement margin in radian.
virtual StelVertexArray SphericalRegion::getFillVertexArray (  )  const [inline, virtual]

Return an openGL compatible array to be displayed using vertex arrays.

Reimplemented in SphericalConvexPolygon, SphericalTexturedPolygon, and SphericalTexturedConvexPolygon.

SphericalRegionP SphericalRegion::getIntersection ( const SphericalRegion r  )  const

Return a new SphericalRegion consisting of the intersection of this and the given region.

A default potentially very slow implementation is provided for each cases.

virtual OctahedronPolygon SphericalRegion::getOctahedronPolygon (  )  const [pure virtual]

Return the octahedron contour representation of the polygon.

It can be used for safe computation of intersection/union in the general case.

Implemented in SphericalCap, SphericalPoint, AllSkySphericalRegion, EmptySphericalRegion, SphericalPolygon, and SphericalConvexPolygon.

virtual StelVertexArray SphericalRegion::getOutlineVertexArray (  )  const [inline, virtual]

Get the outline of the contours defining the SphericalPolygon.

Returns:
a list of vertex which taken 2 by 2 define the contours of the polygon.

Reimplemented in SphericalConvexPolygon.

virtual Vec3d SphericalRegion::getPointInside (  )  const [inline, virtual]

Return a point located inside the region.

Reimplemented in SphericalCap, SphericalPoint, AllSkySphericalRegion, EmptySphericalRegion, and SphericalConvexPolygon.

virtual QVector<QVector<Vec3d > > SphericalRegion::getSimplifiedContours (  )  const [virtual]

Get the contours defining the SphericalPolygon when combined using a positive winding rule.

The default implementation return a list of tesselated triangles derived from the OctahedronPolygon.

SphericalRegionP SphericalRegion::getSubtraction ( const SphericalRegion r  )  const

Return a new SphericalRegion consisting of the subtraction of the given region from this.

A default potentially very slow implementation is provided for each cases.

SphericalRegionP SphericalRegion::getUnion ( const SphericalRegion r  )  const

Return a new SphericalRegion consisting of the union of this and the given region.

A default potentially very slow implementation is provided for each cases.

bool SphericalRegion::intersects ( const SphericalRegion r  )  const

Returns whether a SphericalRegion intersects with this region.

A default potentially very slow implementation is provided for each cases.

virtual bool SphericalRegion::isEmpty (  )  const [inline, virtual]

Return true if the region is empty.

Reimplemented in SphericalCap, SphericalPoint, AllSkySphericalRegion, EmptySphericalRegion, and SphericalConvexPolygon.

virtual void SphericalRegion::serialize ( QDataStream &  out  )  const [pure virtual]

Serialize the region. This method must allow as fast as possible serialization and work with deserialize().

Implemented in SphericalCap, SphericalPoint, AllSkySphericalRegion, EmptySphericalRegion, SphericalPolygon, SphericalConvexPolygon, SphericalTexturedPolygon, and SphericalTexturedConvexPolygon.

QByteArray SphericalRegion::toJSON (  )  const

Output a JSON string representing the polygon.

This method is convenient for debugging.

virtual QVariantList SphericalRegion::toQVariant (  )  const [pure virtual]
