Components

Each of the renderable components has its own file in the src/main/ruby/render/assignment directory.

Equilateral Triangle

file:	src/main/ruby/render/assignment/equilateral_triangle.rb
class:	EquilateralTriangle
superclass:	initialize(half_side_length) render()
methods:	'

wikipedia

The triangle should be equilateral, rendered with its the origin at the center of mass.

Your constructor should accept a half_side_length parameter.

The height of the triangle should be side_length * sqrt(3)/2

The center of mass is one third from the bottom.

So, the bottom left point A's x coordinate should be -half_side_length and its y coordinate should be -1/3 height.

src/main/ruby/render/assignment/equilateral_triangle.rb

Rectangle

file:	src/main/ruby/render/assignment/rectangle.rb
class:	Rectangle
superclass:	initialize(half_width, half_height) render()
methods:	'

file to run:

src/main/ruby/render/assignment/rectangle.rb

Ellipse

file:	src/main/ruby/render/assignment/ellipse.rb
class:	Ellipse
superclass:	initialize(x_radius, y_radius) render()
methods:	'

Note: to produce the reference image the code below was used:

    slice_count = 32
    delta_theta = (2*Math::PI) /slice_count

file to run:

src/main/ruby/render/assignment/ellipse.rb

Chord

file:	src/main/ruby/render/assignment/chord.rb
class:	Chord
superclass:	initialize(x_radius, y_radius, theta_a, theta_z) render()
methods:	'

Note: to produce the reference image the code below was used:

    slice_count = 32
    delta_theta = (@theta_z-@theta_a) / slice_count

Note: a Chord with 32 slices will have 33 points.

class:	Image
superclass:	initialize(path) render()

Text

file:	src/main/ruby/render/assignment/image.rb
class:	Text
superclass:	initialize(text, font) render()
methods:	'

file to run:

src/main/ruby/render/assignment/text.rb

Bézier Curve

Point2

To support Bézier curves you will want to implement Point in point2.rb. You may wish to use Ruby's convenient Struct construct.

You should be able to construct a Point2 with an x and a y and be able to access those values.

Component

file:	src/main/ruby/render/assignment/bezier_curve.rb
class:	BezierCurve
superclass:	initialize(control_points) render()
methods:	'

Quadratic (Third Order) Curve:
Fourth Order Curve:
