Detailed Description

Basic class for conversions between coordinate systems.

This class provides interface for converting points and vectors between different coordinate systems defined on a manifold.

Member Function Documentation

virtual Point CoordinateConversion::convertPoint ( Point p )

pure virtual

Conversion of a point.

This method converts a single point to a different coordinate system.

Parameters

p	Point to be converted

virtual double CoordinateConversion::inv_jacobian	(	int	i,
		int	j,
		Point	p
	)

pure virtual

Inverse jacobian of the conversion.

This method returns the inverse jacobian (matrix of partial derivatives) of the transformation between coordinate systems.

Parameters

i	The number of the row
j	The number of the column
p	The point at which the jacobian is calculated

virtual double CoordinateConversion::jacobian	(	int	i,
		int	j,
		Point	p
	)

pure virtual

Jacobian of the conversion.

This method returns the jacobian (matrix of partial derivatives) of the transformation between coordinate systems.

Parameters

i	The number of the row
j	The number of the column
p	The point at which the jacobian is calculated
