25 return F0_1 (width * r_0 / h_inf) * h_inf;
29 For small w, the height should be proportional to w, for w ->
30 infinity, the height should rise to a limit asymptotically.
32 Hence we take F(x) such that
33 F(0) = 0 , F'(0) = 1, and F(infty) = 1
35 and use
37 h = h_infinity * F(x * r_0 / h_infinity)
40 Examples:
42 * F(x) = 2/pi * atan (pi x/2)
44 * F(x) 1/alpha * x^alpha / (1 + x^alpha)
46 * (etc.)
48 [with the 2nd recipe you can determine how quickly the conversion from
49 `small' slurs to `big' slurs occurs.]
51 Although this might seem cand_idates to SCM-ify, it is not all clear
52 which parameters (ie. h_inf, r_0, F(.)) should be candidates for
53 this. At present h_inf and r_0 come from paper settings, but we did
54 no experiments for determining the best combinations of F, h_inf and
55 r_0.
