Class Shear

Implements a shear transformation on a contiguous line of member particles.

The handling with bonds can be configured. // TODO:

The suboracle is called on its representative, but stores per-particle data via ParticleAttributes. An anchor particle (either explicitly provided or the representative) serves as the fixed reference point for the shear.

Methods

Init(List<Shear>, bool, int, ParticleAlgorithm, bool, bool)

Initializes the suboracle for a new shear operation on a contiguous line of member particles. The start direction is automatically detected from the anchor's neighbors.

Declaration

public void Init(List<Shear> memberParticles, bool clockwise, int count = 1, ParticleAlgorithm anchor = null, bool stickEndHead = false, bool releaseExpanded = true)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
List<Shear>	memberParticles	The particles that are part of this suboracle instance.
bool	clockwise	Whether the shear turns clockwise or counterclockwise.
int	count	The number of shear steps to perform (each step rotates the direction by 60°).
ParticleAlgorithm	anchor	Optional anchor particle; defaults to the representative.
bool	stickEndHead	Whether the end head stays attached to its non-member neighbors.
bool	releaseExpanded	Whether expanded particles release additional bonds to non-member neighbors.

OnActivate()

Executes the next round of the shear transformation. Round 0: Expand every second particle along the line. Round 1: Contract the expanded particles.

Declaration

protected override bool OnActivate()

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if the shear operation is complete, false if more rounds are needed.

Overrides

Suboracle<Shear>.OnActivate()
