GridSpacing

public GridSpacing()

Method Detail

linear

public static java.util.List<java.lang.Double> linear(int n)

Returns a list of values evenly or linearly spaced between 0 and 1.

Parameters:

n - The number of points to include in the spacing.

Returns:

A list of points, of size n, evenly spaced between 0 and 1.

cos

public static java.util.List<java.lang.Double> cos(int n)

Returns a list of values with a cosine spacing between 0 and 1. This distribution tends to group points near the ends of the list.

Parameters:

n - The number of points to include in the spacing.

Returns:

A list of points, of size n, with a cosine spacing between 0 and 1.

acos

public static java.util.List<java.lang.Double> acos(int n)

Returns a list of values with an arc-cosine spacing between 0 and 1. This distribution tends to group points near the middle of the list.

Parameters:

n - The number of points to include in the spacing.

Returns:

A list of points, of size n, with an arc-cosine spacing between 0 and 1.

sqrt

public static java.util.List<java.lang.Double> sqrt(int n)

Returns a list of values with a square root spacing between 0 and 1. This distribution tends to group points near the end of the list.

Parameters:

n - The number of points to include in the spacing.

Returns:

A list of points, of size n, with a square root spacing between 0 and 1.

oneMinusSqrt

public static java.util.List<java.lang.Double> oneMinusSqrt(int n)

Returns a list of values with a 1-square root spacing between 0 and 1. This distribution tends to group points near the start of the list.

Parameters:

n - The number of points to include in the spacing.

Returns:

A list of points, of size n, with a square root spacing between 0 and 1.

sqr

public static java.util.List<java.lang.Double> sqr(int n)

Returns a list of values with a squared spacing between 0 and 1. This distribution tends to group points near the start of the list.

Parameters:

n - The number of points to include in the spacing.

Returns:

A list of points, of size n, with a squared spacing between 0 and 1.

tanh

public static java.util.List<java.lang.Double> tanh(int n,
                                                    double ds1,
                                                    double ds2)

Returns a list of values with a hyperbolic tangent spacing between 0 and 1. This distribution tends to group points near the ends of the list depending on the inputs.

Parameters:

n - The number of points to include in the spacing.

ds1 - The fractional arc-length for the 1st segment at the start of the list.

ds2 - The fractional arc-length for the last segment at the end of the list.

Returns:

A list of points, of size n, with a hyperbolic tangent spacing between 0 and 1.
