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
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
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
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
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
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
