Detailed Description

encode a direction into a one or two byte value

Date:
2002/08/22 18:39:30
Revision:
1.17

Given a direction, encode it into an integer value. This value should be less than 65536, which is the maximum number of encoded directions supported by this superclass. A direction encoded is used to encode normals in a volume for use during volume rendering, and the amount of space that is allocated per normal is 2 bytes. This is an abstract superclass - see the subclasses for specific implementation details.
