MathMapMathMap - Transform coordinates using mathematical expressions

Description:
A MathMap is a MappingMapping which allows you to specify a set of forward and/or inverse transformation functions using arithmetic operations and mathematical functions similar to those available in C. The MathMap interprets these functions at run-time, whenever its forward or inverse transformation is required. Because the functions are not compiled in the normal sense (unlike an IntraMapIntraMap), they may be used to describe coordinate transformations in a transportable manner. A MathMap therefore provides a flexible way of defining new types of Mapping whose descriptions may be stored as part of a dataset and interpreted by other programs.
Constructor Function:
astMathMapastMathMap
Inheritance
The MathMap class inherits from the Mapping class.
Attributes
In addition to those attributes common to all Mappings, every MathMap also has the following attributes:
  • SeedSeed: Random number seed

  • SimpFISimpFI: Forward-inverse MathMap pairs simplify?

  • SimpIFSimpIF: Inverse-forward MathMap pairs simplify?
Functions
The MathMap class does not define any new functions beyond those which are applicable to all Mappings.
