Revisions

  • July 5, 2012, by Michael Wetter:
    Changed definitions of side fin height h to be measured from the top of the window. This allows changing the window height without having to adjust the side fin parameters.
  • May 21, 2012, by Kaustubh Phalak:
    Removed gap > 0 as a necessary condition. There can be a side fin with no gap.
  • March 5, 2012, by Michael Wetter:
    First implementation.
