PointDifferentiator Class

Initializes a new instance. The user must set DifferentiatedPoint. Increment is initialized to 0.0.

Initializes a new instance.

Initializes a new instance as a copy of an existing instance.

Initializes a new instance.

Gets or sets the derivative to compute by finite-differencing. For example, a value of 1 for this property indicates that the first derivative (or velocity) should be computed. A value of 0 (the default) will cause the first derivative that is not supplied directly by DifferentiatedPoint to be computed.

Gets or sets the point whose highest order derivative is being differentiated

Gets or sets the increment used to calculate finite differences

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.

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).

Clones this object using the specified context.

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.

Constructs a vector which represents the second derivative of this point's position.

Constructs a vector which represents the requested order of the derivative of this point's position.

Constructs a vector which represents the derivative of this point's position.

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.

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Freezes this object. Further attempts to modify it will result in an ObjectFrozenException.

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.

Gets a hash code representing the definition of this object.

Gets an evaluator that can be used to find the motion of this point in its parent reference frame at a given date. Consider using the methods of GeometryTransformer instead of calling this method directly. See GetEvaluator(EvaluatorGroup) for more details.

Gets an evaluator that can be used to find the Motion<Cartesian> of this point in its parent ReferenceFrame at a given JulianDate. This evaluator can represent derivatives of the given DifferentiatedPoint using finite difference.

Serves as the default hash function.

Returns a Scalar representing the X, Y, Z, or Magnitude of this point.

Returns a Scalar representing the X, Y, Z, or Magnitude, or any derivative of those elements of this point.

Gets the service object of the specified type.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Determines if this object has the same definition as another object.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Throws ObjectFrozenException if this object IsFrozen. This method should be called from any method or property that modifies this object.

Returns a string that represents the current object.
