DirectionType HelixBarrelCylinderCrossing::direction

(

void

)

const [inline]

Returns the direction along the helix that corresponds to path length "s" from the starting point.

As for position, the direction of the crossing with a cylinder (if it exists!) is given by direction( pathLength( cylinder)).

Definition at line 51 of file HelixBarrelCylinderCrossing.h.

References theDir.

{ return theDir;}

bool HelixBarrelCylinderCrossing::hasSolution

(

)

const [inline]

Definition at line 30 of file HelixBarrelCylinderCrossing.h.

References theSolExists.

Referenced by PixelBarrelLayer::computeCrossings(), TOBLayer::computeCrossings(), and TIBLayer::computeCrossings().

{ return theSolExists;}

double HelixBarrelCylinderCrossing::pathLength

(

)

const [inline]

Propagation status (true if valid) and (signed) path length along the helix from the starting point to the cylinder.

The starting point and the cylinder are given in the constructor.

Definition at line 36 of file HelixBarrelCylinderCrossing.h.

References theS.

{ return theS;}

PositionType HelixBarrelCylinderCrossing::position

(

void

)

const [inline]

Returns the position along the helix that corresponds to path length "s" from the starting point.

If s is obtained from the pathLength method the position is the destination point, i.e. the position of the crossing with a cylinder (if it exists!) is given by position( pathLength( cylinder)).
