Interface LightFluxModel

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    AbstractLightFluxModel, CylindricallyShadowedLightFluxModel
    public interface LightFluxModel
    Interface describing flux models from a light source, including shadowing effects from occulting bodies. Defines the flux vector itself as well as detectors for entry and exit of the different eclipse zones, if any.
