Member Function Documentation

double Sphere::distance ( const Point & x, const Vector & v, int inout ) const [virtual]

distance along direction v from point x to enter or leave the surface. Reimplemented from Surface. Definition at line 41 of file Sphere.cxx.

double Sphere::how_near ( const Point & x ) const [virtual]

signed function giving minimum distance to the surface: surface is actually defined by zero. The distance will be positive if the point is inside the Plane, negative if the point is outside. Reimplemented from Surface. Definition at line 20 of file Sphere.cxx.

const char * Sphere::nameOf ( ) const [inline, virtual]

makes name available to subclasses using the type info facility. Reimplemented from GeomObject. Definition at line 30 of file Sphere.h.

Vector Sphere::normal ( const Point & x ) const [virtual]

returns normal-vector at Point x, assuming x to be on the surface. Reimplemented from Surface. Definition at line 32 of file Sphere.cxx.

void Sphere::printOn ( std::ostream & os = std::cout ) const [virtual]

print info about this object. Reimplemented from GeomObject. Definition at line 15 of file Sphere.cxx.

double Sphere::radius ( ) const [inline]

Definition at line 27 of file Sphere.h. Referenced by how_near().
