class Circle3D

Defined in:  TSCircle3D.h
The Circle3D class encapsulates a 3D circle in conformal geometric algebra.
Definition

class Circle3D

Member Functions
Circle3D::Set Sets all ten components of a circle.
Constructor

Circle3D();

Circle3D(float gx, float gy, float gz, float gw, float vx, float vy, float vz, float mx, float my, float mz);

Circle3D(const Plane3D& plane, const Vector3D& direction, const Bivector3D& moment);

Parameters
gx,gy,gz,gw The coordinates of the carrier plane.
vx,vy,vz The coordinates of the direction of the flat line component.
mx,my,mz The coordinates of the moment of the flat line component.
plane The carrier plane.
direction The direction of the flat line component.
moment The moment of the flat line component.
Description
The Circle3D class is used to store a three-dimensional circle with a five-dimensional trivector representation in conformal geometric algebra.

The default constructor leaves the components of the circle undefined. If the initialization values are supplied, then they are assigned to the ten coordinates of the circle.
Nonmember Operations
bool operator ==(const Circle3D& c, const Circle3D& o) const; Returns a boolean value indicating whether the two circles c and o are equal.
bool operator !=(const Circle3D& c, const Circle3D& o) const; Returns a boolean value indicating whether the two circles c and o are not equal.
Circle3D operator -(const Circle3D& c); Returns the negation of the circle c.
Circle3D operator *(const Circle3D& c, float n); Returns the product of the circle c and the scalar n.
Circle3D operator *(float n, Circle3D& c); Returns the product of the circle c and the scalar n.
Circle3D operator /(const Circle3D& c, float n); Returns the product of the circle c and the inverse of the scalar n.
Circle3D Reverse(const Circle3D& c); Returns the reverse of the circle c.
Dipole3D Dual(const Circle3D& c); Returns the reverse of the circle c.
Plane3D Carrier(const Circle3D& c); Returns the carrier of the circle c.
Line3D Anticarrier(const Circle3D& c); Returns the anticarrier of the circle c.
