Class PyramidalField

java.lang.Object

fr.cnes.sirius.patrius.fieldsofview.PyramidalField

All Implemented Interfaces:

IFieldOfView

public final class PyramidalField
extends Object
implements IFieldOfView

This class describes a pyramidal field of view defined a list of vectors (its edges) cone, to be used in "instruments" part properties. It implements the IFieldOfView interface and so provides the associated services.

Constructor Detail

PyramidalField

public PyramidalField(String name,
              Vector3D[] directions)

Constructor for a pyramidal field of view.

Parameters:

name - the name of the field

directions - the directions defining the border of the field. They must be given in the right order : from the vector i to the vector i + 1, the inside of the field is on the side of the positive cross vector v(i) * v(i+1)

Method Detail

getAngularDistance

public double getAngularDistance(Vector3D direction)

Description copied from interface: IFieldOfView

Computes the angular distance between a vector and the border of the field. The result is positive if the direction is in the field, negative otherwise. For some of the fields (ComplexField), that value can be approximative : see particular javadoc of each class.

Specified by:

getAngularDistance in interface IFieldOfView

Parameters:

direction - the direction vector

Returns:

the angular distance

isInTheField

public boolean isInTheField(Vector3D direction)

Specified by:

isInTheField in interface IFieldOfView

Parameters:

direction - a direction vector

Returns:

true if the direction is in the field

getName

public String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface IFieldOfView

Returns:

the name of the field
