class Dipole3D

The Dipole3D class encapsulates a 3D dipole in conformal geometric algebra.

class Dipole3D

Dipole3D::Set

Sets all ten components of a dipole.

Dipole3D();

Dipole3D(float vx, float vy, float vz, float mx, float my, float mz, float px, float py, float pz, float pw);

Dipole3D(const Vector3D& direction, const Bivector3D& moment, const Vector4D& point);

vx,vy,vz	The coordinates of the direction of the carrier line.
mx,my,mz	The coordinates of the moment of the carrier line.
px,py,pz,pw	The coordinates of the flat point component.
direction	The direction of the carrier line.
moment	The moment of the carrier line.
point	The flat point component.

The Dipole3D class is used to store a three-dimensional dipole with a five-dimensional bivector representation in conformal geometric algebra.

The default constructor leaves the components of the dipole undefined. If the initialization values are supplied, then they are assigned to the ten coordinates of the dipole.
