Detailed Description

Grid of triangles (zones) on the sphere with radius 1, generated by subdividing the icosahedron.

level 0: just the icosahedron, 20 zones level 1: 80 zones, level 2: 320 zones, ... Each zone has a unique integer number in the range [0,getNrOfZones()-1].

Member Function Documentation

getZoneNumberForPoint()

int StelGeodesicGrid::getZoneNumberForPoint	(	const Vec3f &	v,
		int	searchLevel
	)		const

Find the zone number in which a given point lies.

prerequisite: v*v==1 When the point lies on the border of two or more zones, one such zone is returned (always the same one, because the algorithm is deterministic).

search()

const GeodesicSearchResult* StelGeodesicGrid::search	(	const QVector< SphericalCap > &	convex,
		int	maxSearchLevel
	)		const

Return a search result matching the given spatial region The result is cached, meaning that it is very fast to search the same region consecutively.

Returns

a GeodesicSearchResult instance which must be used with GeodesicSearchBorderIterator and GeodesicSearchInsideIterator
