NAME

Math::Project3D::Function - Generate anonymous subroutines for use as functions with Math::Project3D

SYNOPSIS

  use Math::Project3D;
  
  # Looks like a screw
  my $function = Math::Project3D->new_function(
    'u,v',     # list of parameter names
    '$u',      # first component
    'sin($v)', # more components
    'cos($v)',
  );
  
  # or as an anonymous sub / closure!
  {
      # This is a sphere
      my $radius = 5;

      my $x_component = sub {
          my $theta = shift;
          my $phi   = shift;
          return $radius * sin($theta) * cos($phi);
      };
      my $y_component = sub {
          my $theta = shift;
          my $phi   = shift;
          return $radius * sin($theta) * sin($phi);
      };
      my $z_component = sub {
          my $theta = shift;
          return $radius * cos($theta);
      };
      
      $function = Math::Project3D->new_function(
        $x_component, $y_component, $z_component         
      );
  }

DESCRIPTION

This package contains the code for generating anonymous subroutines for use as functions with the Math::Project3D module. The package has no public subroutines and you should use it indirectly through the new_function method of Math::Project3D.

Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Do not read the source. :-)

METHODS

Public methods

new

The new method takes exactly the same arguments as the new_function method of Math::Project3D.

It returns a new Math::Project3D::Function object.
