InverseOrthographicProjection() [2/3]

template<typename T >

void Utilities::Geometry::SphericalPoint< T >::InverseOrthographicProjection	(	const SphericalPoint< T > &	central,
		const Point_2d &	x
	)

Parameters

central	point on the sphere where the tangent plane touches
x	2D output coordinate on projection

InverseOrthographicProjection() [3/3]

template<typename T >

void Utilities::Geometry::SphericalPoint< T >::InverseOrthographicProjection	(	const SphericalPoint< T > &	central,
		T const	x[]
	)

Convert from an orthographic projection of the plane onto the unit sphere.

Parameters

central	point on the sphere where the tangent plane touches
x	2D output coordinate on projection

OrthographicAnglePhi()

template<typename T >

T Utilities::Geometry::SphericalPoint< T >::OrthographicAnglePhi

(

const SphericalPoint< T > &

central

)

the angle between the orthographic x-axis and the constant Phi curve

Parameters

central

point on the sphere where the tangent plane touches

OrthographicAngleTheta()

template<typename T >

T Utilities::Geometry::SphericalPoint< T >::OrthographicAngleTheta

(

const SphericalPoint< T > &

central

)

the angle between the orthographic x-axis and the constant theta curve

Parameters

central

point on the sphere where the tangent plane touches

OrthographicProjection() [1/2]

template<typename T >

Point_2d Utilities::Geometry::SphericalPoint< T >::OrthographicProjection

(

const SphericalPoint< T > &

central

)

const

Parameters

central

point on the sphere where the tangent plane touches

OrthographicProjection() [2/2]

template<typename T >

void Utilities::Geometry::SphericalPoint< T >::OrthographicProjection	(	const SphericalPoint< T > &	central,
		T	x[]
	)		const

Calculates the orthographic projection of the point onto a plane.

The result is in radian units. Near the central point this is a rectolinear projection onto a tangent plane. Points in the oposite hemosphere are maped to points on the border at |x| = 1

Parameters

central	point on the sphere where the tangent plane touches
x	2D output coordinate on projection
