Detailed Description

Arbitrary 1-dim curve in a lattice plane.

Intended use:

Public interface

Review Status

Test programs:

Prerequisite

• Function1D
• CurvedLattice2D

Synopsis

PixelCurve1D represents a 1-dim curve in a lattice plane to be used by CurvedLattice2D. The curve can be any function supported in the Functionals module.
A special constructor exists to define a straight line.
Another special constructor exists for a polyline.

The domain for which the curve is valid is given by the interval [x1,x2]. The granularity of the domain is given by the number of points. The number of points also define the length of the new axis in the CurvedLattice2D object.

Example

// Use function y=cos(2*pi*x) on the interval [0,2] with 5 points.
Sinusoid1D<float> fn;
PixelCurve1D pcurve2(fn, 0., 2., 5);
AlwaysAssertExit (pcurve2.npoints() == 5);
pcurve2.getPixelCoord (x, y, 0, 4);
cout << x << y << endl;

The result of x is [0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2]. The result of y is [1, -1, 1, -1, 1]

Motivation

The viewer must be able to show a crosscut through an image using an arbitrary curve.

To Do

• Maybe it is better to make itsNpoints part of CurvedLattice
• If itsNpoint is still part of this class, it is possible to precompute all possible Y values in the constructors. This may speed things up for the polyline case.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casacore::PixelCurve1D::PixelCurve1D ( double  x1 = 0, double  y1 = 0, double  x2 = 1, double  y2 = 1, uInt  npoints = 0  )

explicit

Define a straight line from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2).

The default number of points is the length of the line.

casacore::PixelCurve1D::PixelCurve1D	(	const Function1D< float, float > &	,
		float	x1,
		float	x2,
		uInt	npoints = 0
	)

Define a curve with an arbitrary function from x1 to x2.

The default number of points is the length of the curve. The length of the curve is determined numerically by integration of sqrt(1+sqr(df/dx)).

casacore::PixelCurve1D::PixelCurve1D	(	const Vector< Int > &	x,
		const Vector< Int > &	y,
		uInt	npoints = 0
	)

Define a curve from a polyline with the given points.

Both vectors have to be equally long and at least 2 long. The argument npoints defines the number of points (with regular steps) in which the curve is divided. The default is the length of the polyline.
