Member Function Documentation

virtual AABB ScalarField::getAABB

(

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns:

the bounding box of influence which bounds the domain in which this ScalarField may have a non-zero value

Implemented in Blob, MetaBall, and MetaObject.

virtual real_t ScalarField::evaluate

(

const Point3 &

pt

)

const [pure virtual]

Returns:

the value of this scalar field at the given point

Note:

If the given point is outside of the field's AABB, evaluate is assumed to return zero

Implemented in Blob, MetaBall, and MetaObject.
