Function Documentation

template<const int dim, template< class > class container, template< class > class container2>
Point< dim > WFMath::Barycenter const container< Point< dim > > &    c,
const container2< CoordType > &    weights
 

Find the center of a set of points with the given weights.

If the number of points and the number of weights are not equal, the excess of either is ignored. The weights (or that subset which is used, if there are more weights than points), must not sum to zero.

template<class C>
bool Equal const C &    c1,
const C &    c2,
double    epsilon = WFMATH_EPSILON
[inline]
 

Test for equality up to precision epsilon.

Returns true if the difference between the numbers is less than epsilon. Note that epsilon is multiplied by 2 raised to the power of the exponent of the smaller number. So, for example, Equal(0.00010000, 0.00010002, 1.0e-4) will not compare equal, but Equal(0.00010000, 0.00010002, 1.0e-3) will.

template<class C>
void FromString C &    c,
const std::string &    s,
unsigned int    precision = 6
 

Parse a WFMath type from a string.

This uses operator>>() in its backend.

double GaussianConditional double    mean,
double    stddev,
double    val
 

Gives the conditional probability of the Gaussian distribution at position val.

The probability that a Gaussian random variable will fall between val and val + delta, given that it is already known to be not less than val, is given by this function multiplied by delta (for small delta).

template<const int dim>
Point< dim > WFMath::Midpoint const Point< dim > &    p1,
const Point< dim > &    p2,
CoordType    dist = 0.5
 

The default value of 0.5 for dist gives the midpoint. A value of 0 gives p1, and 1 gives p2. Values of dist outside the [0, 1] range are allowed, and give points on the line which are not on the segment bounded by p1 and p2.

template<const int dim>
bool WFMath::Parallel const Vector< dim > &    v1,
const Vector< dim > &    v2
 

Check if two vectors are parallel.

Convienience wrapper if you don't care about same_dir

template<const int dim>
bool WFMath::Parallel const Vector< dim > &    v1,
const Vector< dim > &    v2,
bool &    same_dir
 

Check if two vectors are parallel.

Returns true if the vectors are parallel. For parallel vectors, same_dir is set to true if they point the same direction, and false if they point opposite directions

double PoissonConditional double    mean,
unsigned int    step
 

Gives the conditional probability of the Poisson distribution at position step.

Returns the probability that a Poisson random variable will have value step, given that it is already known not to be less than step.

template<const int dim>
Vector< dim > WFMath::Prod const Vector< dim > &    v,
const RotMatrix< dim > &    m
[inline]
 

returns v * m

This is the function to use to rotate a Vector v using a Matrix m

void SeedRand unsigned    int
 

Seed WFMath's random number generators.

The random number generators use rand(). They are seeded by the clock if SeedRand() isn't called.

template<class C>
void Shuffle std::vector< C > &    v
 

Randomly reorder the contents of a std::vector.

For things like shuffling a deck of cards, etc.

template<class C>
std::string ToString const C &    c,
unsigned int    precision = 6
 

Output a WFMath type as a string.

This uses operator<<() in its backend.
