Detailed Description

Generalized four-dimensional Object, described by vertexes and surfaces.

An Object is a four-dimensional geometrical object which can not be described as a mathematical function from to or from to .

Instead it is described as a set of surfaces.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Object::Object	(	unsigned	vertices,
		unsigned	surfaces
	)

generic Object constructor; only allocates necessary arrays, children must fill them in their c'tor

Parameters:

vertices	number of vertices
surfaces	number of surfaces

Member Function Documentation

virtual unsigned Object::getDefinitionSpaceDimensions

(

)

[inline, virtual]

See also:

Function::getDefinitionSpaceDimensions()

Reimplemented from VertexHolder< 4, 1, double >.

void Object::Initialize

(

void

)

[protected, virtual]

Actually create the Object, this method is overridden in child classes.

Calibrates the color manager from the vertices of the object.

In child classes, this method should be reimplemented to set up the arrays X and Surface. When that is finished, the reimplementation should call

 Object::Initialize() 

at the end of its own Initialize() routine to calibrate the color manager.

Implements Displayable.

Reimplemented in Hypercube, Pyramid, Gasket, Sponge, AltSponge, and Rotope.

References calibrateColors().

Referenced by ReInit().

		double	,

	)		[virtual]

Reinitialize an Object. This function is called when the initialization is done outside the constructor.

Currently it does not differ from Initialize(). In fact, it simply calls Initialize().

Implements Displayable.

Reimplemented in Gasket, and Sponge.
