2.8.8.3 Infinite Solid Objects

Describe a solid, possibly infinite, shape:

INFINITE_SOLID_OBJECT:

PLANE | POLY | CUBIC | QUARTIC | QUADRIC

The plane object:

PLANE:

Jump to SDL

plane { V_NORMAL, F_DISTANCE [OBJECT_MODIFIERS] }

The poly object:

POLY:

Jump to SDL

poly { ORDER, < POLY_COEFFICIENTS > [POLY_MODIFIERS] }

ORDER:

An integer value between 2 and 15 inclusive.

POLY_COEFFICIENTS:

A quantity n of FLOATs separated by commas, where n is ((ORDER+1)*(ORDER+2)*(ORDER+3))/6.

POLY_MODIFIERS:

[sturm [BOOL]] & [OBJECT_MODIFIERS]

The cubic object:

CUBIC:

cubic { < CUBIC_COEFFICIENTS > [POLY_MODIFIERS] }

CUBIC_COEFFICIENTS:

20 FLOATs separated by commas.

The quartic object:

QUARTIC:

quartic { < QUARTIC_COEFFICIENTS > [POLY_MODIFIERS] }

QUARTIC_COEFFICIENTS:

35 FLOATs separated by commas.

The quadric object:

QUADRIC:

Jump to SDL

quadric { < FLOAT, FLOAT, FLOAT >, < FLOAT, FLOAT, FLOAT >, < FLOAT, FLOAT, FLOAT >, FLOAT [OBJECT_MODIFIERS] }
