Class Cah

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, Component

    public class Cah
    extends Projecter
    This class provides for the translation between coordinates and Cahill style Octahedron tangent plane projection. .

    The projection is centered at 0,45 The projection is bounded by a rectangle with dimensions 6 sqrt(2) x 2 sqrt(6) which is filled in the following fashion. 5 4 2 3 5 5 4 4 2 2 3 3 5 5 5 4 4 4 2 2 2 3 3 3 5 5 4 4 6 0 2 2 3 3 5 4 6 6 0 0 2 3 6 6 6 0 0 0 7 6 6 0 0 1 7 7 6 0 1 1 7 7 7 1 1 1 7 7 1 1 7 1 Note that each number is intended to represent an equilateral triangle so that the representation here is only very approximate. The center of the projection is the middle of the boundary between triangles 0 and 6. The north pole is the intersection of triangles 0,2,4 and 6, while the south pole is at the lonely points of 1,3,5,7 The northern octants are even while the southern octants are odd. You can envisage this figure as unwrapping the four northern octants of an octahedron and pressing them flat and then flipping the southern octants on the equator they share with a northern octant. Note that this projection is staddleable but the straddle is not currently available.

        Description copied from class: Transformer
        Convert a single point where the output vector is supplied.
        Specified by:
        transform in class Transformer
        Parameters:
        unit - The input vector.
        plane - The output vector, it may be the same as the input vector if the dimensionalities are the same. All transformers are expected to work with aliased inputs and output.
