Trait ConversionTo

pub trait ConversionTo<T: CoordinateSystem + 'static>: CoordinateSystem
where
    T::Dimension: Pow<U2>,
    <T::Dimension as Pow<U2>>::Output: ArrayLength<f64>,
{
    // Required method
    fn convert_point(p: &Point<Self>) -> Point<T>;

    // Provided methods
    fn jacobian(p: &Point<Self>) -> Matrix<T> { ... }
    fn inv_jacobian(
        p: &Point<Self>,
    ) -> Tensor<T, (CovariantIndex, ContravariantIndex)> { ... }
}

Trait used for conversions between different coordinate systems. Implementing ConversionTo<T> for a CoordinateSystem will allow objects in that system to be converted to the system T (note that T also has to be a CoordinateSystem).

Required Methods

fn convert_point(p: &Point<Self>) -> Point<T>

Function converting the coordinates of a point.

Provided Methods

fn jacobian(p: &Point<Self>) -> Matrix<T>

Function calculating a Jacobian at a point - that is, the matrix of derivatives of the coordinate conversions.

This will be contracted with contravariant indices in the tensor.

fn inv_jacobian( p: &Point<Self>, ) -> Tensor<T, (CovariantIndex, ContravariantIndex)>

The inverse matrix of the Jacobian at a point.

In conversions, it will be contracted with covariant indices.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is not dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
