Direct Known Subclasses:

Nep097BspEphemerisProvider

public class NeptuneBspEphemerisProvider
extends JplSpkEphemerisProvider

Provides access to the position of Triton with respect to the Neptune system barycenter.

If STK is installed with the Planetary Data Supplement, the file neptune.bsp is available in the STKData/Spice folder of the STK installation. This should be used as input for the constructors of this class.

If STK or the Planetary Data Supplement are unavailable, the next best option is to go to the website of the Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) of JPL to download the nep097.bsp ephemeris for Neptune and Triton. This file is larger (102 MB) because it contains data that extends hundreds of years into the past and future for astronomical purposes. There is a small text nep097.cmt file in that directory that contains information about what data is contained within the nep097.bsp file. While this file is compatible with this base class, it is recommended that it is used with the derived class Nep097BspEphemerisProvider instead because the derived class provides additional functionality associated with the physical center of mass of Neptune.

Method Detail

clone

public Object clone(CopyContext context)

Clones this object using the specified context.

This method should be implemented to call a copy constructor on the class of the object being cloned. The copy constructor should take the CopyContext as a parameter in addition to the existing instance to copy. The copy constructor should first call CopyContext.addObjectMapping(T, T) to identify the newly constructed instance as a copy of the existing instance. It should then copy all fields, using CopyContext.updateReference(T) to copy any reference fields.

A typical implementation of ICloneWithContext:

public static class MyClass implements ICloneWithContext {
    public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
        context.addObjectMapping(existingInstance, this);
        someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
    }

    @Override
    public final Object clone(CopyContext context) {
        return new MyClass(this, context);
    }

    private Object someReference;
}

In general, all fields that are reference types should be copied with a call to CopyContext.updateReference(T). There are a couple of exceptions:

1. Fields that are aggregate parts of the object should always be copied. A referenced object is an aggregate if properties or methods on the object being copied can modify the externally-visible value of the referenced object.
2. If the semantics of the referenced object require that it have a single parent, owner, context, etc., and the object being copied is that parent, owner, or context, then the referenced object should always be copied.

If one of these exceptions applies, the CopyContext should be given an opportunity to update the reference before the reference is copied explicitly. Use CopyContext.updateReference(T) to update the reference. If CopyContext.updateReference(T) returns the original object, indicating that the context does not have a replacement registered, then copy the object manually by invoking a Clone method, a copy constructor, or by manually constructing a new instance and copying the values.

alwaysCopy = context.updateReference(existingInstance.alwaysCopy);
if (existingInstance.alwaysCopy != null && alwaysCopy == existingInstance.alwaysCopy) {
    alwaysCopy = (AlwaysCopy) existingInstance.alwaysCopy.clone(context);
}

If you are implementing an evaluator (a class that implements IEvaluator), the IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) method shares some responsibilities with the copy context constructor. Code duplication can be avoided by doing the following:

1. For references to other evaluators ONLY, simply assign the reference in the constructor instead of calling CopyContext.updateReference(T). You should still call CopyContext.updateReference(T) on any references to non-evaluators.
2. Call IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as the last line in the constructor and pass it the same CopyContext passed to the constructor.
3. Implement IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as normal. See the reference documentation for IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) for more information on implementing that method.

public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
    super(existingInstance, context);
    someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
    evaluatorReference = existingInstance.evaluatorReference;
    updateEvaluatorReferences(context);
}

@Override
public void updateEvaluatorReferences(CopyContext context) {
    evaluatorReference = context.updateReference(evaluatorReference);
}

@Override
public Object clone(CopyContext context) {
    return new MyClass(this, context);
}

private Object someReference;
private IEvaluator evaluatorReference;

Specified by:

clone in interface ICloneWithContext

Specified by:

clone in class DefinitionalObject

Parameters:

context - The context to use to perform the copy.

Returns:

A new instance which is a copy of this object.

checkForSameDefinition

protected final boolean checkForSameDefinition(JplSpkEphemerisProvider other)

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true 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 false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).

Specified by:

checkForSameDefinition in class JplSpkEphemerisProvider

Parameters:

other - The other instance to compare to this one.

Returns:

true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.

checkForSameDefinition

protected boolean checkForSameDefinition(NeptuneBspEphemerisProvider other)

Checks to determine if another instance has the same definition as this instance and returns true 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 false for all derived-class instances. Derived classes should check the type of other to preserve the symmetric nature of IEquatableDefinition.isSameDefinition(java.lang.Object).

Parameters:

other - The other instance to compare to this one.

Returns:

true if the two objects are defined equivalently; otherwise false.

computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode

protected int computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode()

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 NeptuneBspEphemerisProvider.checkForSameDefinition(agi.foundation.spice.JplSpkEphemerisProvider) method.

Overrides:

computeCurrentDefinitionHashCode in class JplSpkEphemerisProvider

Returns:

The computed hash code.

enumerateDependencies

public void enumerateDependencies(DependencyEnumerator enumerator)

Enumerates the dependencies of this object by calling DependencyEnumerator#enumerate(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.

Specified by:

enumerateDependencies in interface IEnumerateDependencies

Overrides:

enumerateDependencies in class JplSpkEphemerisProvider

Parameters:

enumerator - The enumerator that is informed of the dependencies of this object.

freezeAggregatedObjects

protected void freezeAggregatedObjects()

Called by DefinitionalObject.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.

Overrides:

freezeAggregatedObjects in class JplSpkEphemerisProvider

useForCentralBodyPositions

public void useForCentralBodyPositions(CentralBodiesFacet centralBodiesFacet)

Uses this ephemeris provider for the position of the center of mass of Triton in the specified CentralBodiesFacet instance. This also sets the position of the NeptuneSystemBarycenter (get / set). This does not set the position of NeptuneCentralBody unless this class is also a Nep097BspEphemerisProvider and the nep097.bsp file is used.

To use this ephemeris provider for only the Neptune system barycenter or Triton, use one of the available points. This method also calls CentralBody.synchronizeOrigins() on the barycenter and Triton.

Specified by:

useForCentralBodyPositions in class JplSpkEphemerisProvider

Parameters:

centralBodiesFacet - The central bodies to update to use this data.

Throws:

ArgumentNullException - Thrown when centralBodiesFacet is null.

getNeptuneSystemBarycenter

@Nonnull
public Point getNeptuneSystemBarycenter()

Gets a point representing the location of the barycenter of the Neptune planetary system. Setting this point will also cause the point in this class representing Triton to be modeled as orbiting this updated point.

setNeptuneSystemBarycenter

public void setNeptuneSystemBarycenter(@Nonnull
                                       Point value)

Sets a point representing the location of the barycenter of the Neptune planetary system. Setting this point will also cause the point in this class representing Triton to be modeled as orbiting this updated point.

getTritonPoint

@Nonnull
public final Point getTritonPoint()

Gets a point representing the center of mass location of the moon Triton in a reference frame centered at the current value of NeptuneSystemBarycenter (get / set).
