DtChord Class Reference

NOTE: This entire class is deprecated, in favor of Dt3dChord.

Deprecation notes for DtChord: DtChord was moved from terrainToolkit/geometry/chord.* to vrlink/matrix and renamed Dt3dChord for consistency with other geometric objects.

lengthOnX/Y/Z functions were renamed directedX/Y/ZComponent, as the values returned were not pure, unsigned lengths, but directed values. Examination of usage indicted that the signage was important, so functionality was maintained, but the name changed for clarity.

This class (will) have no virtual functions to avoid virtual table pointers for performance reasons. You can subclass, but do not add member data in derived classes or you will develop a memory leak.

Member Function Documentation

DtChord& DtChord::operator=

(

const DtChord &

orig

)

assignment operator

virtual DtPoint DtChord::computePoint ( const double  t ) const

virtual

Determine the point at parametric value t, where the two end points of the chord assume values of 0 and 1.

virtual bool DtChord::isCollinear ( const DtPoint &  p ) const

virtual

Determine if given point p is collinear with chord.

virtual bool DtChord::parallelToXYPlane ( ) const

virtual

Determines if the chord is parallel to the XY-plane.

virtual bool DtChord::inPlaneZEquals ( const double  c ) const

virtual

Determines if Chord lies on plane z=c.

virtual bool DtChord::intersectsPlaneZEqualsAtPoint ( const double  c, double &  tvalue  ) const

virtual

Returns true if the chord intersects plane z=c, and returns a tvalue between 0 and 1. When the entire chord lies on plane z=c, returns true and tvalue = 2.

virtual bool DtChord::collinearPointLiesWithin ( const DtPoint &  pt ) const

virtual

Determines if pt is collinear with the chord, and lies between end points.
