Transformation: Tapering along z-axis

Definition: inverse mapping
z1⇐ z ⇐ z2
t = (z-z1)/(z2-z1)
scale = (1-t)*s1 + t*s2
x'=x/scale
y'=y/scale
z < z1 scale = s1
z > z2 scale = s2

Call: hfTaperZ(xt,z1,z2,s1,s2);

Parameters:

xt - point coordinates array to be changed

z1, z2 - end points of z-interval, z2 > z1

s1, s2 - scaling factors for end points

Transformation: Tapering along x-axis

Definition: inverse mapping
x1 ⇐ x ⇐ x2
t = (x-x1)/(x2-x1)
scale = (1-t)*s1 + t*s2
y'=y/scale
z'=z/scale
x < x1 scale = s1
x > x2 scale = s2

Call: hfTaperX(xt,x1,x2,s1,s2);

Parameters:

xt - point coordinates array to be changed

x1, x2 - end points of x-interval, x2 > x1

s1, s2 - scaling factors for end points

Transformation: Tapering along y-axis

Definition: inverse mapping
y1 ⇐ y ⇐ y2
t = (y-y1)/(y2-y1)
scale = (1-t)*s1 + t*s2
z'=z/scale
x'=x/scale
y < y1 scale = s1
y > y2 scale = s2

Call: hfTaperY(xt,y1,y2,s1,s2);

Parameters:

xt - point coordinates array to be changed

y1, y2 - end points of y-interval, y2 > y1

s1, s2 - scaling factors for end points
