Detailed Description

A Metric defines how to measure Points in space. Things we measure may include the norm and distance, for example. An example of a Metric in this sense is the Cartesian system.

Member Function Documentation

static double Metric::Norm

(

const Point *const

point

)

[static]

Defines the norm of a single point. A purely virtual function.

Parameters:

point

The point we wish to calculate the norm of

Returns:

The norm

Reimplemented in Cart.

static double Metric::Distance	(	const Point *const	x,
		const Point *const	y
	)			[static]

Defines the distance between two points. A purely virtual function.

Parameters:

	x	The first point
	y	The second point

Returns:

The distance between the two points (x-y)

Reimplemented in Cart.

static double Metric::Volume

(

Cubic_Bounding_Box

bb

)

[static]

Defines the volume of a Cubic bounding box.

Parameters:

bb

The bounding box we wish to know the volume of

Returns:

The requested volume

Reimplemented in Cart.
