public class OpticalSystem
extends java.util.Vector<OpticalGroup>
implements LensSystem

Class to hold a whole OpticalSystem being a Vector of OpticalGroups. This class implements the standard LensSystem interface so allowing direct tracing via ray or ray pencils and can also be direcly added to a Diagram.

Constructor Detail

OpticalSystem

public OpticalSystem(java.lang.String title)

Form a blank OpticalSystem with a specified title.

Parameters:

title - the title string.

OpticalSystem

public OpticalSystem()

Form a blank OpticalSystem with eth default title "Lens System".

Method Detail

setTitle

public void setTitle(java.lang.String t)

Method to set the title

Parameters:

t - the title string

getTitle

public java.lang.String getTitle()

Method to get the title string

Returns:

String the title string.

public void addGroup(OpticalGroup g)

Method to add an OpticalGroup to the system

Parameters:

g - the OpticalGroup to be added.

getGroup

public OpticalGroup getGroup(int i)

Method to get a specified OpticalGroup

Returns:

OpticalGroup the scecified OpticalGroup or null is the index is outside the vencto length

getNext

public OpticalSurface getNext()

Method to get the next OpticalSurface in order. If there are no more surfaces then null is returned.

Specified by:

getNext in interface LensSystem

Returns:

OpticalSurface

reset
