Detailed Description

Grid of triangles (zones) on the sphere with radius 1, generated by subdividing the icosahedron.

level 0: just the icosahedron, 20 zones level 1: 80 zones, level 2: 320 zones, ... Each zone has a unique integer number in the range [0,getNrOfZones()-1].

Member Function Documentation

int StelGeodesicGrid::getPartnerTriangle	(	int	lev,
		int	index
	)		const

Return the index of the partner triangle with which to form a parallelogram.

void StelGeodesicGrid::getTriangleCorners	(	int	lev,
		int	index,
		Vec3f &	c0,
		Vec3f &	c1,
		Vec3f &	c2
	)		const

Return the position of the 3 corners for the triangle at the given level and index.

int StelGeodesicGrid::getZoneNumberForPoint	(	const Vec3f &	v,
		int	searchLevel
	)		const

Find the zone number in which a given point lies.

prerequisite: v*v==1 When the point lies on the border of two or more zones, one such zone is returned (always the same one, because the algorithm is deterministic).

const GeodesicSearchResult* StelGeodesicGrid::search	(	const QVector< SphericalCap > &	convex,
		int	maxSearchLevel
	)		const

Return a search result matching the given spatial region The result is cached, meaning that it is very fast to search the same region consecutively.

Returns

a GeodesicSearchResult instance which must be used with GeodesicSearchBorderIterator and GeodesicSearchInsideIterator
