afm_generate_tip

Source:

src/img/img_afm.c

Description:

Generates a rounded conical AFM tip.

Algorithm: 

	A 2D image of a conical tip is generated, with a 45 degree angle and

	a rounding tip with the desired radius and softness.

	The 2D image is then converted to a 3D surface using the function 

	img_to_surface and returned.  The density of beta-silicon nitride

	of 1.925 Da/A3 is used.

Arguments:

Vector3 sizesize of the tip density
Vector3 samplingsampling/spacing (in angstrom/pixel)
float radiusradius of the tip curvature (in angstrom)
float resolutionthe resolution affects the tip surface softness

Returns:

Bimage* tip 3D map.

Prototype:

Bimage* afm_generate_tip(Vector3 size, Vector3 sampling, float radius, float resolution)

Functions used:
