Glyphs for General Second-Order 2D and 3D Tensors

Gerrits T, Rössl C, Theisel H

Zusammenfassung

A New Construction For Tensor Glyphs That are Able to Represent General Second-Order 2D and 3D Tensors. This Includes Non-Symmetric Tensors Where Eigenvectors are Non-Orthogonal or Eigenvalues are Complex Valued. These Glyphs are Constructed Using Piecewise Rational Bezier Curves and Surfaces Following A Strict Set of Properties.
