VolumeSGE function

Calculation of the Volume of An Egg Based on the Simplified Gielis Equation

VolumeSGE is used to calculate the volume of an egg that follows the simplified Gielis equation. UTF-8

VolumeSGE(P, subdivisions = 100L,
          rel.tol = .Machine$double.eps^0.25, abs.tol = rel.tol,
          stop.on.error = TRUE, keep.xy = FALSE, aux = NULL)

Arguments

• P: the parameters of the simplified Gielis equation, including $a$, $n_{1}$, and $n_{2}$.
• subdivisions: please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.
• rel.tol: please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.
• abs.tol: please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.
• stop.on.error: please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.
• keep.xy: please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.
• aux: please see the arguments for the integrate function in package stats.

Details

The formula of the volume ($V$) of an egg based on the simplified Gielis equation is:

where the polar raidus ($r$) is the function of the polar angle ($\varphi$):

namely the simplified Gielis equation (i.e., GE) with arguments simpver = 1 and m = 1.

Note

The argument P in the VolumeSGE function only has the three parameters: $a$, $n_{1}$, and $n_{2}$.
