Description
Added an abstract
RedistributeGeometryDecorator
that redistributes density distributions by multiplying it by a weight function. Currently there are 2 concrete sub-classes implementing a spherical and axial power law weight function.Motivation
This decorator allows for adding gradients to already implemented geometries, which would otherwise have no analytical inverse cumulative. Such as for example hyperboloids and paraboloids that are not constant.
Testing
Testing involved comparing:
Additionally, analytical values were compared with SKIRT-generated values for density and images to validate the decorator's functionality.
Context
More
RedistributeGeometryDecorator
can be added if needed. There is also a spherical and axial exponential weight function, but these have not been included.
