org.jlab.geom.abs.AbstractLayer<ComponentType>
Type Parameters:
ComponentType - the specific type of Component contained by the Layer

Layer<ComponentType>, Showable
Direct Known Subclasses:

public abstract class AbstractLayer<ComponentType extends Component> extends Object implements Layer<ComponentType>
This class provides a skeletal implementation of the Layer interface to minimize the effort required to implement a Layer.

To implement a Layer, the programmer needs only to extend this class and provide implementations for the Layer.getType() method.

Initially the Layer will contain no Components, so Components must be added to the Layer after AbstractLayer's constructor has been invoked via the addComponent(org.jlab.geom.base.Component) method.

To set the boundary, use getBoundary() to retrieve the point and modify it accordingly. Similarly, to set the plane, use getPlane().

If the subtyped Layer contains additional geometry data, then, to ensure that the additional geometry is properly rotated and translated with the Layer, the programmer must also override onSetTransformation(org.jlab.geom.prim.Transformation3D) which is invoked after setTransformation(org.jlab.geom.prim.Transformation3D) is invoked.

AbstractLayer's constructor takes a boolean argument useBoundaryAsHitFilter, which, if true, causes the getLayerHits(org.jlab.geom.prim.Path3D) and getHits(org.jlab.geom.prim.Path3D) methods to return empty lists if the Path3D does not intersects any faces in this Layer's boundary. This can be useful for performance optimization or used to simulate dead zones between the layer's sensing component's active regions.

AbstractLayer provides implementations for getLayerHits(Path3D) and getHits(Path3D) which test for intersections with the layer boundary and component volume shapes respectively. However, programmers may in many times need to override these methods based on the requirements of the type of detector this type of layer belongs to. Further, the these implementations are designed to be general enough to handle several types of detectors and components. Consequently, they do not contain optimizations that may be made available by the specific geometry of a specific detector or component type.

    • getTransformation Link icon

      public final Transformation3D getTransformation()
      Description copied from interface: Layer
      Returns a copy of the transformation that was used to rotate and translate this layer from its initial position in local coordinates to its current position and orientation.

      Note: The following paragraph uses the term "coordinate system" loosely. The layer's current "coordinate system" is ment to mean the true coordinate system (i.e. local, tilted, sector, or CLAS) with, optionally, additional translations and rotations applied to account for misalignments, etc.

      Applying the returned translation to a point will transform that point from the local coordinate system to this layer's coordinate system. To translate a point from this layer's current coordinate system.

      Example: Translating a point back to local coordinates
      Layer layer = ...
      Transformation3D inverse = layer.getTransformation().inverse();
      Point3D point = layer.getComponent(0).getMidpoint();
      Point3D local = new Point3D(point);
      inverse.apply(local);
      System.out.println("Current Coords:"+point+" Local Coords: "+local);       Example: Applying alignment calibrations
      Transformation3D nominal = layer.getTransformation(); Transformation3D calibrated = new Transformation3D(nominal); ... // add rotations and translations to calibrate the alighnment layer.setTransformation(calibrated);

      Specified by:
      getTransformation in interface Layer<ComponentType extends Component>
      Returns:
      a copy of the current transformation

    • setTransformation Link icon

      public final void setTransformation(Transformation3D transform)
      Description copied from interface: Layer
      Sets the transformation for this layer.

      Internally, to apply the new transformation, this method will use the inverse of its current transformation to move itself back into local coordinates, it will then move itself to its new coordinates by applying the new the transformation before storing it.

      For much more information and example codesee Layer.getTransformation().

      Specified by:
      setTransformation in interface Layer<ComponentType extends Component>
      Parameters:
      transform - the new transform
      See Also:

    • onSetTransformation Link icon

      protected void onSetTransformation(Transformation3D transform)
      Classes extending AbstractLayer should implement onSetTransformation so that any additional geometric data they contain is transformed appropriately when AbstractLayer's onSetTransformation method is invoked. To implement this method simply apply the given transformation on all of the transformable contained in the layer that are not managed by AbstractLayer. This method is called at the end of AbstractLayer's setTransformation method.
      Parameters:
      transform - the full transformation from the old coordinate system to the new coordinate system

    • getCrossSections Link icon

      public final List<List<Line3D>> getCrossSections(Transformation3D transform)
      Description copied from interface: Layer
      Returns a list of lists of lines such that each of the inner lists contains the cross section lines for a single component.

      This method takes a Transformation3D object as an argument, then constructs a Plane3D object in the xy-plane and applies the transformation to the plane. The intersection of the layer's component's shapes with the transformed plane is then calculated and stored in a list of lists of lines of lines. The inverse of the transformation is then applied to each line ensuring that each returned line is in the xy-plane

      Specified by:
      getCrossSections in interface Layer<ComponentType extends Component>
      Parameters:
      transform - the transformation
      Returns:
      a list of list of lines representing the cross section
