Detailed Description

Circle is a circular region on the unit sphere that contains its boundary.

Internally, the circle is represented by its center vector and the squared length of the chords between its center and points on its boundary. This yields a fast point-in-circle test but, unlike a representation that uses the center vector and cosine of the circle opening angle, remains accurate for circles with very small opening angles.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Circle() [1/4]

lsst::sphgeom::Circle::Circle ( )

inline

This constructor creates an empty circle.

Definition at line 72 of file Circle.h.

             :
        _center(UnitVector3d::Z()),
        _squaredChordLength(-1.0),
        _openingAngle(-1.0)
    {}

Circle() [2/4]

lsst::sphgeom::Circle::Circle ( UnitVector3d const & c )

inlineexplicit

This constructor creates the circle with center c and squared chord length / opening angle of zero.

Because of rounding error, (v - c).squaredNorm() == 0.0 does not imply that v == c. Therefore calling contains(v) on the resulting circle may return true for unit vectors v != c.

Definition at line 83 of file Circle.h.

                                            :

Circle() [3/4]

lsst::sphgeom::Circle::Circle ( UnitVector3d const & c, Angle a )

This constructor creates a circle with center c and opening angle a.

If a is negative or NaN, the circle will be empty, and if a is greater than or equal to PI, the circle will be full.

Circle() [4/4]

lsst::sphgeom::Circle::Circle ( UnitVector3d const & c, double cl2 )

This constructor creates a circle with center c and squared chord length cl2.

If cl2 is negative or NaN, the circle will be empty, and if cl2 is greater than or equal to 4, the circle will be full.

relate() [1/6]

Relationship lsst::sphgeom::Circle::relate ( Box const & ) const

overridevirtual

relate computes the spatial relationships between this region A and another region B. The return value S is a bitset with the following properties:

• Bit S & DISJOINT is set only if A and B do not have any points in common.
• Bit S & CONTAINS is set only if A contains all points in B.
• Bit S & WITHIN is set only if B contains all points in A.

Said another way: if the CONTAINS, WITHIN or DISJOINT bit is set, then the corresponding spatial relationship between the two regions holds conclusively. If it is not set, the relationship may or may not hold.

These semantics allow for conservative relationship computations. In particular, a Region may choose to implement relate by replacing itself and/or the argument with a simplified bounding region.
