public class ColorTestField

extends BaseObject

Color Test Field. This BaseObject calculates a simple field linear field in the z direction that we can use in color testing.

Field Summary

double	ACT the slope of the field at the origin
double	BCT the value of the field at the origin of the point charge

Constructor Summary

ColorTestField(double ACT, double BCT)
constructor for color test field

Method Summary

Vec3	Bfield(Vec3 x, Vec3 B) the magnetic field of the color test field is zero
Vec3	Efield(Vec3 x, Vec3 E) the electric field of our color test field
java.lang.String	toString() writes properties of the point charge to a string
