MathMapMathMap
-
Transform coordinates using mathematical expressions
- Description:
- A MathMap is a MappingMapping which allows you to specify a set of forward
and/or inverse transformation functions using arithmetic operations
and mathematical functions similar to those available in C. The
MathMap interprets these functions at run-time, whenever its forward
or inverse transformation is required. Because the functions are not
compiled in the normal sense (unlike an IntraMapIntraMap), they may be used to
describe coordinate transformations in a transportable manner. A
MathMap therefore provides a flexible way of defining new types of
Mapping whose descriptions may be stored as part of a dataset and
interpreted by other programs.

-
Inheritance
- The MathMap class inherits from the Mapping class.
-
Attributes
- In addition to those attributes common to all Mappings, every
MathMap also has the following attributes:
- SeedSeed: Random number seed
- SimpFISimpFI: Forward-inverse MathMap pairs simplify?
- SimpIFSimpIF: Inverse-forward MathMap pairs simplify?
-
Functions
- The MathMap class does not define any new functions beyond those
which are applicable to all Mappings.
