InfiniteEllipticCylinder

public InfiniteEllipticCylinder(Vector3D myLocalOrigin,
                                Vector3D myDirection,
                                Vector3D myXAxis,

                                double myB)

This is the constructor for the class InfiniteEllipticCylinder. It allow the user to instantiate an infinite elliptic cylinder. An infinite elliptic cylinder is a cylinder with the particularity that the result of the intersection of the cylinder with a plane perpendicular to its axis is an ellipse.

Parameters:

myLocalOrigin - Origin of cylinder. It is a point that belong to the cylinders' axis.

myDirection - Cylinder direction

myXAxis - Transver axis along which semi axis is a : corrected to be orthogonal to the direction

myA - semi axis of cylinder along myXAxis

myB - semi axis of cylinder along axis perpendicular to myXAxis and myAxis

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if semi-axis or norm of revolution axis is null
