Method Detail

setupFields

public void setupFields(java.util.List<Slice> slices)

Description copied from interface: FunctionField

Sets the set of slices on which the expression will be calculated. The implementation of this method should extract all the fields and constants that are going to be needed for calculateAt().

Specified by:

setupFields in interface FunctionField

Parameters:

slices - a list of slices in reverse evolution order (newest first)

calculateAt

public double calculateAt(Point point)

Description copied from interface: FunctionField

Calculates the expression at a given point.

Specified by:

calculateAt in interface FunctionField

Parameters:

point - the Point at which the expression is calculated.

Returns:

the value of the expression.
