Toolbox functions

Clamp

Definition: min(max(f,a),b)

Call: hfA_Clamp(f,a,b);

Parameters:

f : real value (to be clamped)
a : lower boundary of the interval
b : upper boundary of the interval

Step

Definition: if f<a return 0 else return 1

Call: hfA_Step(f,a);

Parameters:

f : real value a : real value

Pulse

hfa_pulse.jpg Definition: step(f,a)-step(b,f)

Call: hfA_Pulse(f,a,b);

Parameters:

f : real value a : real value b : real value

Test file: hfA_Pulse.hf

Smooth Step

Definition: Mapping a value f to [0,1], with a smooth interpolation of 's' between [smin,smax]

Call: hfA_SmoothStep(s,smin,smax,f,fmin,fmax);

Parameters:

s : real value smin : real value smax : real value f : real value fmin : real value fmax : real value

Output: f - value between [0,1], s - value between [smin, smax]

Modulo

hfa_modulo.jpg Definition: a%b

Call: hfA_Modulo(a,b);

Parameters:

a : lower boundary of the interval b : upper boundary of the interval

Test file: hfA_Modulo.hf

Floor

Definition: integer part of 'a'

Call: hfA_Floor(a);

Parameters:

a : real value

Linear Interpolation

hfa_lerp.jpg
Definition: t = (xt-x0)(x1-x0)
if(t<0) t = 0
if(t>1) t = 1
c2 = (1-t)*c0+t*(c1)

Call: hfA_Lerp(c2,c1,c0,xt,x1,x0)

Parameters:
xt - point coordinate
x0,x1 - Interval in between the interpolation is done
c0,c1 - Input array

Output:
c2 : array of values (linear interpolation of c0 and c1)

Test file: hfA_Lerp.hf

Cubic interpolation

hfa_cerp.jpg
Definition: t = 3xt^2-2xt^2. with xt in [x0,x1]
if(t<0) t = 0
if(t>0) t = 1
c2 = (1-t)*c0+t*(c1)

Call: hfA_Cerp(c2,c1,c0,xt,x1,x0)

Parameters:
xt - point coordinate
x0,x1 - Interval in between the interpolation is done
c0,c1 - Input array

Output:
c2 : array of values (linear interpolation of c0 and c1)

Test file: hfA_Cerp.hf

Spline Interpolation

hfa_spline.jpg
Definition: Given an array of 3*n values (in the case of rgb attributes), and given an interval [t0,t1], a spline interpolation is performed to obtain the resulting set of attributes

Call: HFA_Spline(s,c,t,t0,t1)

Parameters:
s - Output array (attributes)
c - Input array (attributes)
t - Real value
t0,t1 - Real values, interval

Output:
s : array of values (attributes) interpolated from the array c
