Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
double[]	getCoefficients()	Returns the coefficients for the wave vectors returned by getWaveVectors.

void	makeWaveVectors(Box box)	Tells the instance to make wave vectors appropriate for the given box.

Method Detail

makeWaveVectors

void makeWaveVectors(Box box)

Tells the instance to make wave vectors appropriate for the given box. The wave vectors will not include the 0 vector, any two vectors which are opposites or any wave vector that is redundant with another.

getWaveVectors

Vector[] getWaveVectors()

Returns the wave vectors generated by makeWaveVectors

getCoefficients

double[] getCoefficients()

Returns the coefficients for the wave vectors returned by getWaveVectors. If two of the wave vectors are redundant, their coefficient will be 0.5. Others will have a coefficient of 1.0.
