Detailed Description

This class represents a cylinder whose central axis is parallel to the y-axis, and is defined by the center of the cylinder, the height from the top cap to the bottom cap, and the radius of the cylinder.

Member Function Documentation

int RayCylinder::drawOpenGL (  int  materialIndex  )  [virtual]

This method calls the necessary OpenGL commands to render the primitive. Implements RayShape.

double RayCylinder::intersect (  Ray3D  ray, struct RayIntersectionInfo &  iInfo, double  mx = -1 )  [virtual]

This method computes the intersection of the shape with the ray. If the ray hits the shape and either mx is less than zero or the intersection occurs at a distance less than t along the ray the intersection information in iInfo is set and a value greater than 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned. (This is useful for shadow testing when you may want to ignore hits beyond a certain distance). Either way the isectCounter is incremented by one. Implements RayShape.

int RayCylinder::read (  FILE *  fp, int *  materialIndex )

This method reads in a RayCylinder from a .ray file. A pointer to the material associated to the triangle is set.

BoundingBox3D RayCylinder::setBoundingBox (  void   )  [virtual]

This method sets and returns a bounding box containing the shape. Implements RayShape.

void RayCylinder::setUpOpenGL (  int  cplx, int  setCallList )  [virtual]

This method sets up all the stuff that's necessary prior to OpenGL rendering. The value cplx represents the desired resolution of tessalation for objects such as spheres, cylinders, etc.. Implements RayShape.

void RayCylinder::write (  int  indent, FILE *  fp = stdout )  [virtual]

This method writes the RayShape out to a .ray file, indenting the output by the specified amount. If no file is specified, the information gets written to stdout. Implements RayShape.
