Detailed Description

Class representing a direction in 3D space or a location on the unit sphere.

Definition at line 46 of file pointing.h.

pointing::pointing ( ) [inline]

Default constructor. theta and phi are not initialized.

Definition at line 55 of file pointing.h.

Creates a pointing with Theta and Phi.

Definition at line 57 of file pointing.h.

pointing::pointing ( const vec3 & inp ) [inline]

Creates a pointing from the vector inp. inp need not be normalized.

Definition at line 62 of file pointing.h.

pointing::operator vec3 ( ) const [inline]

Returns a normalized vector pointing in the same direction.

Definition at line 71 of file pointing.h.

vec3 pointing::to_vec3 ( ) const [inline]

Returns a normalized vector pointing in the same direction.

Definition at line 77 of file pointing.h.

void pointing::normalize ( ) [inline]

Changes the angles so that 0<=theta<=pi and 0<=phi<2*pi.

Definition at line 83 of file pointing.h.

double pointing::theta

Colatitude of the pointing (i.e. the North pole is at theta=0).

Definition at line 50 of file pointing.h.

double pointing::phi

Longitude of the pointing.
