  Equiation needed (Message 1 to 48 of 48)

Message: <3c796fc0.8500773@news.povray.org>
Can anyone suggest an equation that gives the distance to a unit
circle lying in the x-z plane? It should look like an wood pattern
whose axis is not +z but a circle. Any ideas?

TIA.

This is untested but I'm fairly sure it's right.

Assume X, Y, Z are the coords of the point in question.
D is the distance to the unit circle.

D = sqrt( pow(Y,2) + pow(sqrt(pow(X,2)+pow(Z,2))-1,2) )

Good luck.

just a question : 
Your system date appear to be 24 Feb 2002.
The question is : what are the new features of POV-Ray 4.2 ?

Cheers,

If you have Superpatch, just use this macro (I just wrote this,
haven't tried it yet.)

#macro TorusWood ( Major )
  function { sqrt(x*x+y*y+z*z-Major*(2*sqrt(x*x+z*z)-Major)) }
#end

Put it where you'd normally have the name of the pattern, as in:

pigment {
  TorusWood( 5 )
  color_map {
    [0/3 color Red]
    [1/3 color Green]
    [2/3 color Blue]
    [3/3 color Red]
  }
}

Here are some other pattern macros:

// A torus-shaped density pattern, from which the above was derived.

#macro Toroidal ( Major ) // minor radius always 1
  function { max(0,1-sqrt(x*x+y*y+z*z-Major*(2*sqrt(x*x+z*z)-Major))) }
#end

// Two point-to-point cones around the y-axis, similar to the cylindrical
// pattern except the width of the cylinder at any point is the same as
// the y-coordinate value. (untested)

#macro Conical ( )
  function { max(0,1-sqrt(x*x+z*z)/abs(y)) }
#end

// A variable number of concentric cones, can be used with the radial
// pattern to create longitude-latitude lines on a sphere.

#macro Latitudes ( Frequency )
  #local Pi = pi; // don't ask, some "feature" of Superpatch
  function { Frequency*asin(y/sqrt(x*x+y*y+z*z))/Pi+Frequency/2 }
#end

More coming as soon as I finish my finals and have time for raytracing
again..

Gee, guys, I am *really* sorry for the inconvenience! It all started
when I had to reinstall Internet Exploder 4 . It somehow messed up my
windoze clock and now it's gone completely nuts! I swear I set it back
to 1999 yesterday *and* this morning too, and two minutes ago it
showed 2003! I really hope it does not rewind to 1994 because windoze
95 might just as well kill itself as it will realise it will not have
been born yet. (Arrgh, verb tenses become a real problem when it comes
to time travelling). In fact that's already happened to me once -- all
files that were created/modified after the date indicated by the
system clock were swept away by a routine M$ ScumDisk check :(

Once again, I am really sorry for the date problem. I will make sure
the stupid mf (sorry) knows what date today is before I post anything.

They can just do a serach and replace routine on the code. I hear that someone
serached for "Microsoft" in all of the documentation on Windows 95, and the help
files and all that... replaced every one of them with "M$" and found 14MB of
extra space had been made available to him...

Probably an urban legend, but it would be fun if it was true

Far easier to just delete all the documentation.  None of it's useful anyway...

May I suggest getting rid of the "troubleshooters" first. The purest form of
wasted space I've ever seen. The hovercraft example pales in comparson.

LOL!  Look at the date on that.  In OE5 on the header pane, it shows 99.
Interestingly enough, if you double-click on the header (using OE), the year
(in the 4-number format) appears to be 2099.  Now how did THAT happen???

well, off the top of my head,

Hahaha :-)

On a side note, isn't it odd to see how hyper and crazy I was back in 1999?
I am so much more calm now :-p

He has a toy newsreader that trivially sorts by date, and he keeps all old
messages.  The one he's replying to was posted a long time ago with the wrong
date.

Hmph... it gets the job done... and I like it sorted the way it is, and I
like seeing all messages.

I know what you mean; I'm glad to get rid of the thing as well!
It'll be a while before we get rid of the Tsutomu Higo gallery post
though.

If you ask me, the newsgroup administrator should artificially change the
date of it. Oh, well... it's only 17 years or so...

You could artificially delete it from your local view.

For Pete's sake, guys, gimme a break!

Strangely enough I've never had problems with this particular
thread... then again, I've been OE-free for years now.

Hello,

I've embarked on a rather crazy project: to bring together all the 
macros I've written over the decades. I hesitated over the choice of 
language and finally opted for Perl, but that's not the point.

To recognize the start of a macro, it's easy with the #macro keywords.
But, for the ending, I have to "count" the #end.
I've identified these structures that terminate with #end :

   #if - #ifdef - #ifndef - #switch - #while - #for


Are there any others I've forgotten?


Merci d'avance
