Public Member Functions
	Agent ()
	Default constructor.

	~Agent ()
	Destroys this agent instance.

void	initialize ()
	Initializes the agent.

void	computeNewVelocity ()
	Computes the new velocity of this agent.

void	setRadius (float radius)
	Stub function to make compatible with the fsm machinery TODO: Determine if I need this – I believe I deleted these setters.

void	setStrideParameters (float factor, float buffer)
	Stub function to make compatible with the fsm machinery.

Public Attributes
Ellipse	_ellipse
	The ellipse representing the agent's volume.

float	_aMin
	Minimum ellipse size in facing direction.

float	_aRate
	Rate at which ellipse major axis grows w.r.t. speed.

float	_bMax
	The maximum ellipse width for slow movement This is a bad formulation, because when speed is zero, the ellipse width should get narrower again.

float	_bGrowth
	The maximum increase of ellipse size in perpendicular direction.

	Computes component of the force magnitude based on effective distance. More...

void	updateEllipse ()
	Update the ellipse based on current properties.

Detailed Description

The specification of the generalized centrifugal force model agent.

Member Function Documentation

float GCF::Agent::computeDistanceResponse ( float effDist )

protected

Computes component of the force magnitude based on effective distance.

Parameters

effDist The effective distance from ellipse center to force source

float GCF::Agent::getRadius ( ) const

inline

Used in FSM machinery to determine clearance.

Returns: The radius of the minor axis of the ellipse (i.e. the half width of the agent). TODO: I don't think this is used....I should make sure that the agents _radius value is updated by the ellipse's minor axis value so simply querying _radius gets the same result.

void GCF::Agent::update ( float timeStep )

Updates the two-dimensional position and two-dimensional velocity of this agent.

Parameters

timeStep The time step that will be taken.
