VectorDerivative Class

A Vector representing the derivative of the specified Order of a given Vector derived in a given Axes. Be careful when observing this vector in different Axes as GeometryTransformer and KinematicTransformation assume that the zeroth order of a vector corresponds to a heading or other similar value, not the rate of another instance. The resulting values will not properly account for the dynamics of the relative rotation of the two axes. To obtain the derivative represented in a different axes, create a new instance defined in a different axes.

Syntax
public class VectorDerivative : Vector

The VectorDerivative type exposes the following members.

Constructors
  NameDescription
Public methodVectorDerivative
Initializes a new instance. The user must set Vector and Axes; Order is set to 0 by default.
Protected methodVectorDerivative(VectorDerivative, CopyContext)
Initializes a new instance as a copy of an existing instance.
Public methodVectorDerivative(Vector, Int32, Axes)
Initializes a new instance of the VectorVelocity class to represent the velocity of a given point in a given reference frame.

Properties
  NameDescription
Public propertyAxes
Gets or sets the axes. The vector will represent the derivative of the vector in this axes.
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 propertyOrder
Gets or sets the order. The order of the derivative this object will represent will be equal to this value.
Public propertyVector
Gets or sets the vector. This VectorDerivative will represent the derivative of the vector represented by this property.

Methods
  NameDescription
Public methodAdd
Add a vector to this one.
(Inherited from Vector.)
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 Vector.)
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(Vector)
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 VectorCheckForSameDefinition(Vector).)
Protected methodCheckForSameDefinition(VectorDerivative)
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 VectorComputeCurrentDefinitionHashCode.)
Public methodCreateVectorDerivative
Constructs a vector which represents a derivative of this vector.
(Inherited from Vector.)
Public methodCross
Produce the vector cross product between this vector and another one.
(Inherited from Vector.)
Public methodDivide(Double)
Divide this vector by a scale factor.
(Inherited from Vector.)
Public methodDivide(Scalar)
Divide this vector by a scale factor.
(Inherited from Vector.)
Public methodDot
Produce the vector dot product between this vector and another one.
(Inherited from Vector.)
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.
(Overrides DefinitionalObjectEnumerateDependencies(DependencyEnumerator).)
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 methodGetEvaluator
Gets an evaluator that can be used to find the Motion<Cartesian> of this vector at a given date with respect to the axes in which it is defined. See GetEvaluator(EvaluatorGroup) for details.
(Inherited from Vector.)
Public methodGetEvaluator(EvaluatorGroup)
Gets an evaluator that can be used to find the Motion<Cartesian> representing the derivative of the given Vector in the given Axes at the specified Order at a given JulianDate. This evaluator throws a DataUnavailableException if Vector cannot provide enough derivative information.
(Overrides VectorGetEvaluator(EvaluatorGroup).)
Public methodGetHashCode
Serves as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodGetScalarElement(CartesianElement, Axes)
Gets a Scalar representing the X, Y, Z, or Magnitude of this vector.
(Inherited from Vector.)
Public methodGetScalarElement(CartesianElement, Axes, Int32)
Gets a Scalar representing the X, Y, Z, or Magnitude of this vector, or any derivative of those elements.
(Inherited from Vector.)
Public methodGetService
Gets the service object of the specified type.
(Inherited from Vector.)
Public methodGetType
Gets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodIsSameDefinition
Determines if this object has the same definition as another object.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Protected methodMemberwiseClone
Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
(Inherited from Object.)
Public methodMultiply(Double)
Multiply this vector by a scale factor.
(Inherited from Vector.)
Public methodMultiply(Scalar)
Multiply this vector by a scale factor.
(Inherited from Vector.)
Public methodSubtract
Subtract a vector from this one.
(Inherited from Vector.)
Protected methodThrowIfFrozen
Throws ObjectFrozenException if this object IsFrozen. This method should be called from any method or property that modifies this object.
(Inherited from DefinitionalObject.)
Public methodToString
Returns a string that represents the current object.
(Inherited from Object.)
