Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ChLineBspline()

chrono::geometry::ChLineBspline::ChLineBspline	(	int	morder,
		const std::vector< ChVector<> > &	mpoints,
		ChVectorDynamic<> *	mknots = `0`
	)

Constructor from a given array of control points.

Input data is copied. If the knots are not provided, a uniformly spaced knot vector is made.

Parameters

morder	order p: 1= linear, 2=quadratic, etc.
mpoints	control points, size n. Required: at least n >= p+1
mknots	knots, size k. Required k=n+p+1. If not provided, initialized to uniform.

◆ ComputeKnotUfromU()

double chrono::geometry::ChLineBspline::ComputeKnotUfromU ( double U ) const

inline

When using Evaluate() etc.

you need U parameter to be in 0..1 range, but knot range is not necessarily in 0..1. So you can convert U->u, where u is in knot range, calling this:

◆ ComputeUfromKnotU()

double chrono::geometry::ChLineBspline::ComputeUfromKnotU ( double u ) const

inline

When using Evaluate() etc.

you need U parameter to be in 0..1 range, but knot range is not necessarily in 0..1. So you can convert u->U, where u is in knot range, calling this:

◆ SetClosed()

void chrono::geometry::ChLineBspline::SetClosed ( bool mc )

Set as closed spline: start and end will overlap at 0 and 1 abscyssa as p(0)=p(1), and the Evaluate() and GetTangent() functions will operate in periodic way (abscyssa greater than 1 or smaller than 0 will wrap to 0..1 range).

The closure will change the knot vector (multiple start end knots will be lost) and will create auxiliary p control points at the end that will be wrapped to the beginning control point.

◆ SetupData()

void chrono::geometry::ChLineBspline::SetupData	(	int	morder,
		const std::vector< ChVector<> > &	mpoints,
		ChVectorDynamic<> *	mknots = `0`
	)

virtual

Initial easy setup from a given array of control points.
