#### 4.6`` Gradients and Normals

> > procedure

> > (flomap-gradient-x fm) → flomap

> fm : flomap

> > procedure

> > (flomap-gradient-y fm) → flomap

> fm : flomap

These return, per-component, estimates of the local x- and y-directional derivatives using a 3×3 Scharr operator.

> > flomap |  | flomap

> fm : flomap

Equivalent to (values (flomap-gradient-x fm) (flomap-gradient-y fm)).

Examples:

> > (define-values (dx-fm dy-fm)
> (flomap-gradient (flomap-drop-components fm 1)))

> > (values (flomap->bitmap (fm* 0.5 (fm+ 1.0 dx-fm)))
> (flomap->bitmap (fm* 0.5 (fm+ 1.0 dy-fm))))

> > procedure

> > (flomap-gradient-normal fm) → flomap

> fm : flomap

Given a one-component flomap, returns a 3-component flomap containing estimated normals. In other words, flomap-normal converts height maps to normal maps.

Examples:

> > (flomap->bitmap sine-fm)
> > (flomap->bitmap (flomap-gradient-normal sine-fm))
> > (flomap-gradient-normal fm)
> flomap-gradient-normal: expected argument of type <flomap
> with 1 component>; given: (flomap #<flvector> 4 260 240)
