public class BifocalDistortion
extends Distortion

Computes a bifocal distortion of space, magnifying a focus region of space and uniformly demagnifying the rest of the space. The affect is akin to passing a magnifying glass over the data.

For more details on this form of transformation, see Y. K. Leung and M. D. Apperley, "A Review and Taxonomy of Distortion-Oriented Presentation Techniques", in Transactions of Computer-Human Interaction (TOCHI), 1(2): 126-160 (1994).

Constructor Detail

BifocalDistortion

public BifocalDistortion()

Create a new BifocalDistortion with default range and magnification.

BifocalDistortion

public BifocalDistortion(double range,
                 double mag)

Create a new BifocalDistortion with the specified range and magnification. The same range and magnification is used for both axes.

NOTE:if the range value times the magnification value is greater than 1, the resulting distortion can exceed the display bounds.

Parameters:

range - the range around the focus that should be magnified. This specifies the size of the magnified focus region, and should be in the range of 0 to 1, 0 being no magnification range and 1 being the whole display.

mag - how much magnification should be used in the focal area

BifocalDistortion

public BifocalDistortion(double xrange,
                 double xmag,
                 double yrange,
                 double ymag)

Create a new BifocalDistortion with the specified range and magnification along both axes.

NOTE:if the range value times the magnification value is greater than 1, the resulting distortion can exceed the display bounds.

Parameters:

xrange - the range around the focus that should be magnified along the x direction. This specifies the horizontal size of the magnified focus region, and should be a value between 0 and 1, 0 indicating no focus region and 1 indicating the whole display.

xmag - how much magnification along the x direction should be used in the focal area

yrange - the range around the focus that should be magnified along the y direction. This specifies the vertical size of the magnified focus region, and should be a value between 0 and 1, 0 indicating no focus region and 1 indicating the whole display.

ymag - how much magnification along the y direction should be used in the focal area
