Forums:
hello,
i would like to signal a bug in gp_Dir. The void Mirror(const gp_Ax2 & axis) and gp_Dir Mirrored(const gp_Ax2 & axis) don't work. For example :
gp_Dir toSym(1,1,1);
gp_Dir dir(1,0,0);
gp_Pnt loc(0,0,0);
gp_Ax2 symObj(loc,dir);
toSym.Mirror(symObj);
std::cout
And the result is :
the result -0.57735 -0.57735 -0.57735
but we should have :
the result -0.57735 0.57735 0.57735
thank you,
Moreno

Hi Moreno,
If you look at the file gp_Ax2.cxx, you will see:
[snippet]
void gp_Ax2::Mirror (const gp_Pnt& P)
{
gp_Pnt Temp = axis.Location();
Temp.Mirror (P);
axis.SetLocation (Temp);
vxdir.Reverse ();
vydir.Reverse ();
}
[/snippet]
vxdir and vydir are reversed, which seems to be the origin of the issue you reported. I doubt there is any bug in this 21 years old file, but why not. Could you explain why the result "should be" -0.5.. 0.5.. 0.5.. (didn't have time to take a sheet of paper and quickly draw your problem).

Sorry, you use a gp_Ax2 for the mirror function, and I quoted the wrong function prototype. Here is what is related to Mirror(const gp_Ax2& A2):
[snippet]
void gp_Ax2::Mirror (const gp_Ax2& A2)
{
vydir.Mirror (A2);
vxdir.Mirror (A2);
gp_Pnt Temp = axis.Location();
Temp.Mirror (A2);
axis.SetLocation (Temp);
axis.SetDirection (vxdir.Crossed (vydir));
}
[/snippet]
Reading this sample, I have no explaination regarding the reported issue. Sorry for the noise!
