Interface figPac.S2V

public interface S2V

The interface S2V, which stand for "scalar to vector" is used to allow the programmer to refer to a function (from R to R^n) by its name. To do so the programmer creates a class that implements the interface S2V and programs the desired function as the method map of that class. The resulting class can be used as any argument of type S2V of any method. Here is an example.

class Circle implements S2V {
double radius, centerx, centery ;
public Circle(double radius, double centerx, double centery) {
this.radius = radius ;
this.centerx = centerx ;
this.centery = centery ;
}
public double[] map(double t) {
double[] out = new double[2] ;
out[0] = centerx + radius*Math.cos(t)  ;
out[1] = centery + radius*Math.sin(t)  ;
return out ;
}
}
