Static Sub EvalPoint2 ( I As Integer, J As Integer )

Generate and evaluate a single point in a mesh.

Parameters

i

Specifies the integer value for grid domain variable $\mathit{i}$.

j

Specifies the integer value for grid domain variable $\mathit{j}$ (Gl.EvalPoint2 only).

Description

Gl.MapGrid and Gl.EvalMesh are used in tandem to efficiently generate and evaluate a series of evenly spaced map domain values. Gl.EvalPoint can be used to evaluate a single grid point in the same gridspace that is traversed by Gl.EvalMesh. Calling Gl.EvalPoint1 is equivalent to calling

glEvalCoord1( $\mathrm{i}·\Delta \mathit{u}+{\mathit{u}}_1$ );

where $\Delta \mathit{u}=\frac{\left({\mathit{u}}_2-{\mathit{u}}_1\right)}{\mathit{n}}$

and $\mathit{n}$, ${\mathit{u}}_1$, and ${\mathit{u}}_2$ are the arguments to the most recent Gl.MapGrid1 command. The one absolute numeric requirement is that if $\mathit{i}=\mathit{n}$, then the value computed from $\mathit{i}·\Delta \mathit{u}+{\mathit{u}}_1$ is exactly ${\mathit{u}}_2$.

In the two-dimensional case, Gl.EvalPoint2, let

$\Delta \mathit{u}=\frac{\left({\mathit{u}}_2-{\mathit{u}}_1\right)}{\mathit{n}}$

$\Delta \mathit{v}=\frac{\left({\mathit{v}}_2-{\mathit{v}}_1\right)}{\mathit{m}}$

where $\mathit{n}$, ${\mathit{u}}_1$, ${\mathit{u}}_2$, $\mathit{m}$, ${\mathit{v}}_1$, and ${\mathit{v}}_2$ are the arguments to the most recent Gl.MapGrid2 command. Then the Gl.EvalPoint2 command is equivalent to calling

glEvalCoord2( $\mathrm{i}·\Delta \mathit{u}+{\mathit{u}}_1,\mathrm{j}·\Delta \mathit{v}+{\mathit{v}}_1$ );

The only absolute numeric requirements are that if $\mathit{i}=\mathit{n}$, then the value computed from $\mathit{i}·\Delta \mathit{u}+{\mathit{u}}_1$ is exactly ${\mathit{u}}_2$, and if $\mathit{j}=\mathit{m}$, then the value computed from $\mathit{j}·\Delta \mathit{v}+{\mathit{v}}_1$ is exactly ${\mathit{v}}_2$.
