efourier_i uses the inverse elliptical Fourier transformation to
calculate a shape, when given a list with Fourier coefficients, typically
obtained computed with efourier.
Usage
efourier_i(ef, nb.h, nb.pts = 120)
Value
A matrix of (x; y) coordinates.
Arguments
ef
list. A list containing \(a_n\), \(b_n\), \(c_n\) and
\(d_n\) Fourier coefficients, such as returned by efourier.
nb.h
integer. The number of harmonics to use. If not
specified, length(ef$an) is used.
nb.pts
integer. The number of points to calculate.
Details
See efourier for the mathematical background.
