TorusPipe Class

A torus pipe is a partial torus (donut). In a local coordinate system

  • The z axis passes through the hole.
  • The "major hoop" arc has
    • vectorTheta0 = (radiusA,0,0)
    • vectorTheta90 = (0, radiusA,0)
    • The major arc point at angle theta is `C(theta) = vectorTheta0 * cos(theta) + vectorTheta90 * sin(theta)
  • The minor hoop at theta various with phi "around the minor hoop"
    • (x,y,z) = C(theta) + (radiusB *cos(theta), radiusB * sin(theta)) * cos(phi) + (0,radiusB,0) * sin(phi)
  • The stored form of the torus pipe is oriented for positive volume:
    • Both radii are positive, with r0 >= r1 > 0
    • The sweep is positive
    • The coordinate system has positive determinant.
  • For uv parameterization,
    • u is around the minor hoop, with (0..1) mapping to phi of (0 degrees ..360 degrees)
    • v is along the major hoop with (0..1) mapping to theta of (0 .. sweep)
    • a constant v section is a full circle
    • a constant u section is an arc with sweep angle matching the torusPipe sweep angle.
