Trait atm_refraction::Path

pub trait Path<'a> {
    fn h_at_dist(&self, dist: f64) -> f64;
    fn angle_at_dist(&self, dist: f64) -> f64;
    fn into_path_stepper(self) -> Box<dyn PathStepper<Item = RayState> + 'a>;
}

The trait representing a light path.

Required Methods

fn h_at_dist(&self, dist: f64) -> f64

Returns the altitude (in meters) at which the path is passing at the given distance (in meters) from the initial point.

fn angle_at_dist(&self, dist: f64) -> f64

Returns the angle (in radians) between the path and the horizontal plane at the given distance (in meters) from the initial point.

fn into_path_stepper(self) -> Box<dyn PathStepper<Item = RayState> + 'a>

Returns a “stepper” - an iterator that performs one integration step along the path on every call to next()
