Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Spline

(

)

constructor

Deprecated:

See ignition::math::Spline

~Spline

(

)

destructor

Deprecated:

See ignition::math::Spline

Member Function Documentation

void AddPoint

(

const Vector3 &

_pt

)

Adds a control point to the end of the spline.

Parameters

[in]

_pt

point to add

Deprecated:

See ignition::math::Spline

void Clear

(

)

Clears all the points in the spline.

Deprecated:

See ignition::math::Spline

Vector3 GetPoint

(

unsigned int

_index

)

const

Gets the detail of one of the control points of the spline.

Parameters

[in]

_index

the control point index

Returns

the control point, or [0,0,0] and a message on the error stream

Deprecated:

See ignition::math::Spline

unsigned int GetPointCount

(

)

const

Gets the number of control points in the spline.

Returns

the count

Deprecated:

See ignition::math::Spline

Vector3 GetTangent

(

unsigned int

_index

)

const

Get the tangent value for a point.

Parameters

[in]

_index

the control point index

Deprecated:

See ignition::math::Spline

double GetTension

(

)

const

Get the tension value.

Returns

The value of the tension, which is between 0.0 and 1.0

Deprecated:

See ignition::math::Spline

Vector3 Interpolate

(

double

_t

)

const

Returns an interpolated point based on a parametric value over the whole series.

Parameters

[in]

_t

parameter (range 0 to 1)

Deprecated:

See ignition::math::Spline

Vector3 Interpolate	(	unsigned int	_fromIndex,
		double	_t
	)		const

Interpolates a single segment of the spline given a parametric value.

Parameters

[in]	_fromIndex	The point index to treat as t = 0. fromIndex + 1 is deemed to be t = 1
[in]	_t	Parametric value

Deprecated:

See ignition::math::Spline

void RecalcTangents

(

)

Recalculates the tangents associated with this spline.

Remarks

If you tell the spline not to update on demand by calling setAutoCalculate(false) then you must call this after completing your updates to the spline points.

Deprecated:

See ignition::math::Spline

void SetAutoCalculate

(

bool

_autoCalc

)

Tells the spline whether it should automatically calculate tangents on demand as points are added.

Remarks

The spline calculates tangents at each point automatically based on the input points. Normally it does this every time a point changes. However, if you have a lot of points to add in one go, you probably don't want to incur this overhead and would prefer to defer the calculation until you are finished setting all the points. You can do this by calling this method with a parameter of 'false'. Just remember to manually call the recalcTangents method when you are done.

Parameters

[in]

_autoCalc

If true, tangents are calculated for you whenever a point changes. If false, you must call reclacTangents to recalculate them when it best suits.

Deprecated:

See ignition::math::Spline

void SetTension

(

double

_t

)

Set the tension parameter.

A value of 0 = Catmull-Rom spline.

Parameters

[in]

_t

Tension value between 0.0 and 1.0

Deprecated:

See ignition::math::Spline

void UpdatePoint	(	unsigned int	_index,
		const Vector3 &	_value
	)

Updates a single point in the spline.

Remarks

an error to the error stream is printed when the index is out of bounds

Parameters

[in]	_index	the control point index
[in]	_value	the new position

Deprecated:

See ignition::math::Spline
