Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Force::Force (  GraphicsLib::Vector *  f, float  a )

The Constructor. The Force Constructor takes a Vector that defines the direction on how to influence the Particle accoriding to a given attenuation. If the attenuation is set to 1 the Force will be fully applied Parameters: f  a pointer to a direction Vector a  the attenuation Definition at line 11 of file Force.cpp. References attenuation, and force.

Force::~Force (   )  [virtual]

The Destructor. Destructs the Force Definition at line 16 of file Force.cpp. References force.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void ParticleSystems::Force::applyForce (  GraphicsLib::Vector *  direction, float *  mass )  [pure virtual]

An abstract Function. Applies this Force to the given direction Vector taking into consideration a given Mass. Parameters: direction  The direction Vector to be affected by this Force mass  a pointer to the mass Implemented in ParticleSystems::GravityForce, ParticleSystems::RandomForce, and ParticleSystems::UniformForce.

virtual void ParticleSystems::Force::applyForce (  GraphicsLib::Vector *  direction  )  [pure virtual]

An abstract Function. Applies this Force to the given direction Vector. Parameters: direction  The direction Vector to be affected by this Force Implemented in ParticleSystems::GravityForce, ParticleSystems::RandomForce, and ParticleSystems::UniformForce.
