Detailed Description

A SphericalCap is defined by a direction and an aperture. It forms a cone from the center of the Coordinate frame with a radius d. It is a disc on the sphere, a region above a circle on the unit sphere.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SphericalCap()

SphericalCap::SphericalCap	(	const Vec3d &	an,
		double	ar
	)

inline

Parameters

an	a unit vector indicating the direction.
ar	cosinus of the aperture.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clipGreatCircle()

bool SphericalCap::clipGreatCircle	(	Vec3d &	v1,
		Vec3d &	v2
	)		const

Returns: true if the great circle intersects with the cap, false otherwise.

◆ getOctahedronPolygon()

virtual OctahedronPolygon SphericalCap::getOctahedronPolygon ( ) const

virtual

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

Implements SphericalRegion.

◆ intersectionPoints()

static bool SphericalCap::intersectionPoints	(	const SphericalCap &	h1,
		const SphericalCap &	h2,
		Vec3d &	p1,
		Vec3d &	p2
	)

static

If the 2 SphericalCap don't intersect or intersect only at 1 point, false is returned and p1 and p2 are undefined.

◆ intersects()

virtual bool SphericalCap::intersects ( const SphericalCap & h ) const

inlinevirtual

I managed to make it without sqrt or acos, so it is very fast!

See also: http://f4bien.blogspot.com/2009/05/spherical-geometry-optimisations.html for detailed explanations.

Reimplemented from SphericalRegion.

◆ intersectsHalfSpace()

bool SphericalCap::intersectsHalfSpace	(	double	hn0,
		double	hn1,
		double	hn2
	)		const

inline

Parameters

hn0	the x direction of the halfspace.
hn1	the y direction of the halfspace.
hn2	the z direction of the halfspace.

◆ toQVariant()

virtual QVariantList SphericalCap::toQVariant ( ) const
