User Manual 4.0 Rectangular cone
De Wiki
Definition
The rectangular cones are defined in a 3D space by their origin, their direction, height and the length and width of their base :
Implementation
The RectangleCone object in the SIRIUS library implements the Cone Interface. Please refer to the Javadoc for a complete list of public methods.
Instantiation
The object is built from two vectors (Vector3D) and two doubles :
Vector3D originCone = new Vector3D(1.0, 1.0, 1.0); Vector3D direction = new Vector3D(2.0, 0.0, 0.0); double length = 4.0; double width = 2.0; double height = 5.0; RectangleCone cone = new RectangleCone(originCone, axis, length, width, height);
The local frame is built such as :
- The axis is the W vector
- U is orthogonal to W and its direction is defined by the 'input U vector"
- V completes the frame
Usage
Please refer to the [MAT_GEO_Home#HInteractions Interactions with other geometrical objects section] for methods inherited from the Shape interface.
