clump.scalesphere
Syntax
- b = clump.scalesphere(c,f)
Scale the clump to an equivalent sphere. The clump is scaled so that its {area in 2D; volume in 3D} is the same as a {circle in 2D; sphere in 3D} of diameter f. The pebbles are scaled, their positions are modified, and the volume is updated.
Note
- All pebbles of the scaled clump must fall within the model domain for the operation to succeed.
- If the volume or moment of inertia has been previously specified by the user either via
clump attribute
or via FISH (clump.vol
,clump.moi.prin.real
, orclump.moi.real
), the principal moment of inertia is in a fixed state and will not be scaled. See theclump.moi.fix
intrinsic for further details.
Returns: b - boolean indicating success/failure of operation
Arguments: c - clump pointer
f - diameter of {a circle in 2D; sphere in 3D}
