ScalarOccultationDualCone Class

Provides evaluators for percentage of occultation/eclipse at a position, as well as EclipseType using the dual cone shadow model.

The percentage runs from 0.0 (completely lit) to 1.0 (total eclipse).

This occultation model is much more accurate than ScalarOccultationCylindrical and is the one which should be used in most cases.

Syntax
public class ScalarOccultationDualCone : ScalarOccultation, 
	IPartialDifferentiable, IEquatableDefinition

The ScalarOccultationDualCone type exposes the following members.

Constructors
Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyDimension
Gets the dimension of the values produced by the object. For example, Vectors would have a dimension of three, and Scalars of one. A PartialDerivativesEvaluator created by this type will have a "RowDimension" equal to this property, and a "ColumnDimension equal to the summation of the dimensions of the independent variables that this object is dependent on.
Public propertyIlluminatingBody
Gets or sets the body to use for the illuminating body (commonly the sun).
(Inherited from ScalarOccultation.)
Public propertyInertialFrame

Gets or sets an alternate inertial reference frame. This property is by default, and if it remains , then the InertialFrame of the IlluminatingBody will be used.

The inertial frame is used to correct the position vectors for light time delay and aberration if the appropriate RadiationVectorType is set.

(Inherited from ScalarOccultation.)
Public propertyIsFrozen
Gets a value indicating whether this object is frozen. A frozen object cannot be modified and an ObjectFrozenException will be thrown if an attempt is made to do so.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Public propertyOccludingBodies
Gets a list of bodies which obscure the illuminating body.
(Inherited from ScalarOccultation.)
Public propertyTargetPoint
Gets or sets the Point representing the location at which the occultation factor is being calculated.
(Inherited from ScalarOccultation.)
Public propertyVectorType
Gets or sets whether or not to use true position to calculate the occultation, or apparent position adjusted for aberration. By default set to CorrectForLightTimeDelayAndAberration.
(Inherited from ScalarOccultation.)

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodAdd(Double)
Adds a fixed scalar to this one.
(Inherited from Scalar.)
Public methodAdd(Scalar)
Adds another scalar to this one.
(Inherited from Scalar.)
Protected methodStatic memberCalculateEclipseType
Calculates the type of shadow a platform is in using a dual cone shadow model.
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObject)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
(Inherited from Scalar.)
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(Scalar)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
(Inherited from ScalarOccultation.)
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(ScalarOccultation)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
(Overrides ScalarOccultationCheckForSameDefinition(ScalarOccultation).)
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(ScalarOccultationDualCone)
Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns if it does. Derived classes MUST override this method and check all new fields introduced by the derived class for definitional equivalence. It is NOT necessary to check base class fields because the base class will already have done that. When overriding this method, you should NOT call the base implementation because it will return for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IsSameDefinition(Object).
Public methodClone
Clones this object using the specified context.
(Overrides DefinitionalObjectClone(CopyContext).)
Protected methodComputeCurrentDefinitionHashCode
Computes a hash code based on the current properties of this object. Derived classes MUST override this method and compute a hash code that combines: a unique hash code seed, the base implementation result, and the hash codes of all new fields introduced by the derived class which are used in the CheckForSameDefinition(DefinitionalObject) method.
(Overrides ScalarOccultationComputeCurrentDefinitionHashCode.)
Protected methodCreateEvaluatorHelper
Checks all properties and creates the vectors required to evaluate occultation fractions.
(Inherited from ScalarOccultation.)
Public methodCreateScalarDerivative
Constructs a scalar which represents a derivative of this scalar.
(Inherited from Scalar.)
Public methodDivide(Double)
Divides this scalar (numerator) by a fixed value (denominator).
(Inherited from Scalar.)
Public methodDivide(Scalar)
Divides this scalar (numerator) by another one (denominator).
(Inherited from Scalar.)
Public methodEnumerateDependencies
Enumerates the dependencies of this object by calling EnumerateT(T) for each object that this object directly depends upon. Derived classes which contain additional dependencies MUST override this method, call the base implementation, and enumerate dependencies introduced by the derived class.
(Inherited from ScalarOccultation.)
Public methodEquals
Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Protected methodFinalize
Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodFreeze
Freezes this object. Further attempts to modify it will result in an ObjectFrozenException.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Protected methodFreezeAggregatedObjects
Called by Freeze to also freeze any objects that are considered to be a part of this object. Derived classes which contain additional aggregated objects MUST override this method, call the base implementation, and freeze aggregated objects introduced by the derived class. The objects that need to be frozen in this method are frequently created in this object's constructor and are not settable via properties.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Public methodGetDefinitionHashCode
Gets a hash code representing the definition of this object.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Public methodGetEclipseTypeEvaluators
Gets an evaluator to calculate EclipseType for every CentralBody in OccludingBodies.

(Overrides ScalarGetEvaluator(EvaluatorGroup).)
Public methodGetHashCode
Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetPartialDerivativesEvaluator
This type does not have derivatives or partial derivatives with respect to any object except itself. Because of that the created PartialDerivativesEvaluator has a ColumnDimension of zero if this ScalarOccultation is not in the generalized state, and if it is in the generalized state it returns a 1x1 identity matrix.
Public methodGetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.)
