TORUS
List of: Classes
Subjects: Model Geometry, SAT Save and Restore
Contents: Kernel

Purpose: Defines a torus as an object in the model.

Derivation: TORUS : SURFACE : ENTITY : ACIS_OBJECT : -

SAT Identifier: "torus"

Filename: kern/kernel/kerndata/geom/torus.hxx

Description: TORUS is a model geometry class that contains a pointer to a (lowercase) torus, the corresponding construction geometry class. In general, a model geometry class is derived from ENTITY and is used to define a permanent model object. It provides model management functionality, in addition to the geometry definition.


TORUS is one of several classes derived from SURFACE to define a specific type of surface. The torus class defines a torus as a circular thickening of a circular spine, defined by a center, normal, major radius, and minor radius.


Along with the usual SURFACE and ENTITY class methods, TORUS has member methods to provide access to specific implementations of the geometry. For example, methods are available to set and retrieve the radius, center, and other information about a torus.


A use count allows multiple references to a TORUS. The construction of a new TORUS initializes the use count to 0. Methods are provided to increment and decrement the use count, and after the use count returns to 0, the entity is deleted.

Constructor: public: TORUS::TORUS ();


C++ allocation constructor requests memory for this object but does not populate it. The allocation constructor is used primarily by restore. Applications should call this constructor only with the overloaded new operator, because this reserves the memory on the heap, a requirement to support roll back and history management.






public: TORUS::TORUS (


SPAposition const&, // center


SPAunit_vector const&, // normal


double, // major radius


double // minor radius


);


C++ initialize constructor requests memory for this object and populates it with the data supplied as arguments. Applications should call this constructor only with the overloaded new operator, because this reserves the memory on the heap, a requirement to support roll back and history management.


Creates a TORUS from a center point, normal SPAunit_vector, major radius, and minor radius.






public: TORUS::TORUS (


torus const& // torus object


);


C++ copy constructor requests memory for this object and populates it with the data from the object supplied as an argument. Applications should call this constructor only with the overloaded new operator, because this reserves the memory on the heap, a requirement to support roll back and history management.




Destructor: public: virtual void TORUS::lose ();


Posts a delete bulletin to the bulletin board indicating the instance is no longer used in the active model. The lose methods for attached attributes are also called.






protected: virtual TORUS::~TORUS ();


This C++ destructor should never be called directly. Instead, applications should use the overloaded lose method inherited from the ENTITY class, because this supports history management. (For example, x=new TORUS(...) then later x->lose.)



Methods: protected: virtual logical


TORUS::bulletin_no_change_vf (


ENTITY const* other,
// other entity


logical identical_comparator // comparator


) const;


Virtual function for comparing subclass data - called by bulletin_no_change. For identical_comparator to be TRUE requires an exact match when comparing doubles, and returns the result of memcmp as a default (for non-overridden subclasses). FALSE indicates tolerant compares and returns FALSE as a default.






public: SPAposition const& TORUS::centre () const;


Returns the center of the TORUS.






public: virtual void TORUS::debug_ent (


FILE* // file pointer


) const;


Prints the type and address of this object, roll back pointer, attributes, and any unknown subtype information to the specified file. Refer to the ENTITY class for more details.






public: surface const& TORUS::equation () const;


Returns the surface equation of a TORUS for reading only.






public: surface& TORUS::equation_for_update ();


Returns a pointer to surface equation for update operations. Before performing a change it checks whether the data structure is posted on the bulletin board. If not, the routine calls backup to put an entry on the bulletin board.






public: virtual int TORUS::identity (


int
// level



= 0


) const;


If level is unspecified or 0, returns the type identifier TORUS_TYPE. If level is specified, returns TORUS_TYPE for that level of derivation from ENTITY. The level of this class is defined as TORUS_LEVEL






public: virtual logical TORUS::is_deepcopyable (


) const;


Returns TRUE if this can be deep copied.






public: double TORUS::major_radius () const;


Returns the major radius of the TORUS.






public: SPAbox TORUS::make_box (


LOOP*, // list of LOOPs


SPAtransf const* t // for future use



= NULL,


logical tight_box // for future use



= FALSE,


SPAbox* untransformed_box // for future use



= NULL


) const;


Makes a bounding box for the SPHERE's entire surface (ignoring the LOOP argument). This routine can be changed to box the LOOP portion of the surface by setting the tight_sphere_box option on.






public: double TORUS::minor_radius () const;


Returns the minor radius of the TORUS.






public: SPAunit_vector const& TORUS::normal () const;


Returns the normal of the TORUS.






public: void TORUS::operator*= (


SPAtransf const& // transform


);


Transforms the TORUS. Before performing a change it checks whether the data structure is posted on the bulletin board. If not, the routine calls backup to put an entry on the bulletin board.






public: void TORUS::restore_common ();


The RESTORE_DEF macro expands to the restore_common method, which is used in reading information from a SAT file. This method is never called directly. It is called by a higher hierarchical function if an item in the SAT file is determined to be of this class type. An instance of this class will already have been created through the allocation constructor. This method then populates the class instance with the appropriate data from the SAT file.


torus::restore_data
Low-level torus geometry definition






public: void TORUS::set_centre (


SPAposition const& // center


);


Sets the TORUS's center point to the given SPAposition. Before performing a change it checks whether the data structure is posted on the bulletin board. If not, the routine calls backup to put an entry on the bulletin board.






public: void TORUS::set_major_radius (


double // major radius


);


Sets the TORUS's major radius to the given value. Before performing a change it checks whether the data structure is posted on the bulletin board. If not, the routine calls backup to put an entry on the bulletin board.






public: void TORUS::set_minor_radius (


double // minor radius


);


Sets the TORUS's minor radius to the given value. Before performing a change it checks whether the data structure is posted on the bulletin board. If not, the routine calls backup to put an entry on the bulletin board.






public: void TORUS::set_normal (


SPAunit_vector const& // normal


);


Sets the TORUS's normal to the given SPAunit_vector. Before performing a change it checks whether the data structure is posted on the bulletin board. If not, the routine calls backup to put an entry on the bulletin board.






public: surface* TORUS::trans_surface (


SPAtransf const&
// transform



= * (SPAtransf* ) NULL_REF,


logical
// reversed



= FALSE


) const;


Returns the transformed surface equation. If the logical is TRUE, the surface is reversed.






public: virtual const char*


TORUS::type_name () const;


Returns the string "torus".
