Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BlendQuadric()

BlendQuadric::BlendQuadric ( const double &  r, const double &  s = 1.0  )

explicit

Creates a quadric polynomial potential function.

Parameters

r	Radius.
s	Strength.

Member Function Documentation

Alpha()

void BlendQuadric::Alpha ( const double &  t )

virtual

Scales the maximum intensity of the blending function.

This function scales the internal strength parameter of the blending function radius, as well as the Lipschitz constant.

Reimplemented from BlendAnalytic.

Analytic()

void BlendQuadric::Analytic ( const Quadric &  r, Polynomial &  p  ) const

virtual

Compute the closed form expression of the field along the ray.

Simply plug-in the quadric equation of the distance along the ray into the equation of the blending function.

Parameters

r	Equation of the squared distance to the skeleton.
p	Closed form expression of the field along the ray.

Implements BlendAnalytic.

Eval()

double BlendQuadric::Eval ( const double &  u ) const

virtual

Computes the falloff value.

Parameters

u	Squared distance.

Implements BlendCompact.

Gradient()

double BlendQuadric::Gradient ( const double &  u ) const

virtual

Computes the first derivative of the falloff function.

Parameters

u	Squared distance.

Implements BlendCompact.

Radius()

double BlendQuadric::Radius ( const double &  T ) const

virtual

Computes the radius of the blend given a threshold value.

This function uses the closed form expression of the quadric, cubic or quartic blending function to compute the root of the equation.

Parameters

T	Threshold value

Reimplemented from BlendCompact.

Scale()

void BlendQuadric::Scale ( const double &  t )

virtual

Scales the radius if the blending function.

This function scales the internal radius, as well as the Lipschitz constant.

Reimplemented from BlendAnalytic.
