mir.random.flex.internal.calc

auto arcmean(S)(ref scope const Interval!S iv);
Calculate the mean between two points using the arcmean:
tan(0.5 * (atan(l) + atan(r)))
In contrast to the normal mean (0.5 * (l + r)) being a geometric plane, the arcmean favors the mean region more.
Parameters:
Interval!S iv Interval with left point and right point
Returns:
Splitting point within the interval
