Properties

arcLengthDivisions

arcLengthDivisions: number = 200

This value determines the amount of divisions when calculating the cumulative segment lengths of a curve via .getLengths. To ensure precision when using methods like .getSpacedPoints, it is recommended to increase .arcLengthDivisions if the curve is very large.

getLength

getLength(): number
Get total curve arc length

Returns number
Inherited from Curve.getLength
- Defined in src/math/shape/core/Curve.ts:87

getLengths

getLengths(divisions?: number): number[]
Get list of cumulative segment lengths
Parameters
- Optional divisions: number
Returns number[]
Inherited from Curve.getLengths
- Defined in src/math/shape/core/Curve.ts:97

getPoint

getPoint(t: number, optionalTarget?: Vector3): Vector3
Virtual base class method to overwrite and implement in subclasses
- t [0 .. 1] Returns a vector for point t of the curve where t is between 0 and 1
Parameters
- t: number
- optionalTarget: Vector3 = ...
Returns Vector3
Overrides Curve.getPoint
- Defined in src/math/shape/curves/CubicBezierCurve3.ts:22

getPointAt

getPointAt(u: number, optionalTarget?: Vector3): Vector3
Get point at relative position in curve according to arc length Returns a vector for point at relative position in curve according to arc length
Parameters
- u: number
  
  [0 .. 1]
- Optional optionalTarget: Vector3
Returns Vector3
Inherited from Curve.getPointAt
- Defined in src/math/shape/core/Curve.ts:46

getPoints

getPoints(divisions?: number): Vector3[]
Get sequence of points using getPoint( t )
Parameters
- divisions: number = 5
Returns Vector3[]

getTangent

getTangent(t: number, optionalTarget: Vector3): Vector3
Returns a unit vector tangent at t. If the subclassed curve do not implement its tangent derivation, 2 points a small delta apart will be used to find its gradient which seems to give a reasonable approximation getTangent(t: number, optionalTarget?: T): T;
