Detailed Description

This class is used to interpolate a BsplineCurve passing through an array of points, with a C2 Continuity if tangency is not requested at the point. If tangency is requested at the point the continuity will be C1. If Perodicity is requested the curve will be closed and the junction will be the first point given. The curve will than be only C1 Describes functions for building a constrained 3D BSpline curve. The curve is defined by a table of points through which it passes, and if required:

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ GeomAPI_Interpolate() [1/2]

GeomAPI_Interpolate::GeomAPI_Interpolate ( const Handle< TColgp_HArray1OfPnt > &  Points,
const Standard_Boolean  PeriodicFlag,
const Standard_Real  Tolerance 
)

Initializes an algorithm for constructing a constrained BSpline curve passing through the points of the table Points. Tangential vectors can then be assigned, using the function Load. If PeriodicFlag is true, the constrained BSpline curve will be periodic and closed. In this case, the junction point is the first point of the table Points. The tolerance value Tolerance is used to check that:

  • points are not too close to each other, or
  • tangential vectors (defined using the function Load) are not too small. The resulting BSpline curve will be "C2" continuous, except where a tangency constraint is defined on a point through which the curve passes (by using the Load function). In this case, it will be only "C1" continuous. Once all the constraints are defined, use the function Perform to compute the curve. Warning
  • There must be at least 2 points in the table Points.
  • If PeriodicFlag is false, there must be as many parameters in the array Parameters as there are points in the array Points.
  • If PeriodicFlag is true, there must be one more parameter in the table Parameters: this is used to give the parameter on the resulting BSpline curve of the junction point of the curve (which is also the first point of the table Points). Exceptions
  • Standard_ConstructionError if the distance between two consecutive points in the table Points is less than or equal to Tolerance.
  • Standard_OutOfRange if:
  • there are less than two points in the table Points, or
  • conditions relating to the respective number of elements in the parallel tables Points and Parameters are not respected.

const Handle< TColStd_HArray1OfReal > &  Parameters,
const Standard_Boolean  PeriodicFlag,
const Standard_Real  Tolerance 
)

Initializes an algorithm for constructing a constrained BSpline curve passing through the points of the table Points, where the parameters of each of its points are given by the parallel table Parameters. Tangential vectors can then be assigned, using the function Load. If PeriodicFlag is true, the constrained BSpline curve will be periodic and closed. In this case, the junction point is the first point of the table Points. The tolerance value Tolerance is used to check that:

  • points are not too close to each other, or
  • tangential vectors (defined using the function Load) are not too small. The resulting BSpline curve will be "C2" continuous, except where a tangency constraint is defined on a point through which the curve passes (by using the Load function). In this case, it will be only "C1" continuous. Once all the constraints are defined, use the function Perform to compute the curve. Warning

◆ ClearTangents()

void GeomAPI_Interpolate::ClearTangents ( )

Clears all tangency constraints on this constrained BSpline curve (as initialized by the function Load).

const Handle< Geom_BSplineCurve >& GeomAPI_Interpolate::Curve ( ) const

Returns the computed BSpline curve. Raises StdFail_NotDone if the interpolation fails.

Returns true if the constrained BSpline curve is successfully constructed. Note: in this case, the result is given by the function Curve.

Assigns this constrained BSpline curve to be tangential to vectors InitialTangent and FinalTangent at its first and last points respectively (i.e. the first and last points of the table of points through which the curve passes, as defined at the time of initialization).

Assigns this constrained BSpline curve to be tangential to vectors defined in the table Tangents, which is parallel to the table of points through which the curve passes, as defined at the time of initialization.

void GeomAPI_Interpolate::Perform ( )

Computes the constrained BSpline curve. Use the function IsDone to verify that the computation is successful, and then the function Curve to obtain the result.
