Examples of superellipses for =, =. A superellipse, also known as a Lamé curve after Gabriel Lamé, is a closed curve resembling the ellipse, retaining the geometric features of semi-major axis and semi-minor axis, and symmetry about them, but defined by an equation that allows for various shapes between a rectangle and an ellipse.
Superellipsoid collection with exponent parameters, created using POV-Ray.Here, e = 2/r, and n = 2/t (equivalently, r = 2/e and t = 2/n). [1]In mathematics, a superellipsoid (or super-ellipsoid) is a solid whose horizontal sections are superellipses (Lamé curves) with the same squareness parameter , and whose vertical sections through the center are superellipses with the squareness parameter .
Hence, it is confocal to the given ellipse and the length of the string is l = 2r x + (a − c). Solving for r x yields r x = 1 / 2 (l − a + c); furthermore r 2 y = r 2 x − c 2. From the upper diagram we see that S 1 and S 2 are the foci of the ellipse section of the ellipsoid in the xz-plane and that r 2 z = r 2 x − a 2.
In the 2-dimensional case, if the density exists, each iso-density locus (the set of x 1,x 2 pairs all giving a particular value of ()) is an ellipse or a union of ellipses (hence the name elliptical distribution).
The superformula is a generalization of the superellipse and was proposed by Johan Gielis in 2003. [1] Gielis suggested that the formula can be used to describe many complex shapes and curves that are found in nature.
The algorithm has already been explained to a large extent, but there are further optimizations. The new presented method [4] gets along with only 5 arithmetic operations per step (for 8 pixels) and is thus best suitable for low-performate systems.
