Template Class spherical_dots

• Defined in File point.hpp

Class Documentation

template<int N>
class spherical_dots

Helper class to generate evenly divided points on a sphere.

We use a fibonacci sphere to calculate even distribution of the dots

Template Parameters

N – The number of points on the sphere is 2 * N + 1
