Hello Bill H. and the VisAD list,
i have a question concerning the isosurf() method of the Gridded3DSet
class. Two of the parameters,
byte[][] auxValues,
byte[][] auxLevels,
store R,G,B color values. The first array looks like the R,G,B color
values of the original gridded data, and the second array looks like it
stores the computed R,G,B color values of new polygon vertices. Is this
correct?
If this is correct, then my question is, how are the R,G,B color values of
the new polygon vertices being computed? It looks like there's a
repeating pattern of code responsible this:
for (int j=0; j<naux; j++) {
t = (int) ( cp * ((auxValues[j][pt + 1 + ydim + xdim_x_ydim] < 0) ?
((float) auxValues[j][pt + 1 + ydim + xdim_x_ydim]) + 256.0f :
((float) auxValues[j][pt + 1 + ydim + xdim_x_ydim]) ) +
(1.0f - cp) * ((auxValues[j][pt + 1 + xdim_x_ydim] < 0) ?
((float) auxValues[j][pt + 1 + xdim_x_ydim]) + 256.0f :
((float) auxValues[j][pt + 1 + xdim_x_ydim]) ) );
tempaux[j][nvet] = (byte)
( (t < 0) ? 0 : ((t > 255) ? -1 : ((t < 128) ? t : t - 256) ) );
}
i don't quite understand what is happening at a conceptual or
implementation level here. :) Anyone have any ideas? Is there any other
code computing color levels? Or is it only this repeating procedure?
-cheers, bob
PS Thanks to Bill H. for answering my last question.
