User Manual 3.4.1 Spherical Caps
De Wiki
Definition
The spherical cap object is built from a [MAT_GEO_Spheres sphere] and a [MAT_GEO_Planes_CL plane] intersecting the sphere :
The plane is delimiting the spherical cap. This plane must intersect with the sphere by more than a single point, if not the spherical cap is considered undefined. The direction of the plane is used to determine in which side the spherical cap is : it is on the side of the normal vector.
Implementation
The SphericalCap object in the SIRIUS library implements the SolidShape interface. Please refer to the Javadoc for a complete list of public methods.
Instantiation
Code sample :
Sphere sphere = new Sphere(...); Plane plane = new Plane(...); SphericalCap spCap = new SphericalCap(sphere,plane);
Usage
Please refer to the [MAT_GEO_Home#HInteractions Interactions with other geometrical objects section] for methods inherited from the Shape interface.
