Class Curve<T>

An extensible curve object which contains methods for interpolation

Type Parameters

T extends Vector

Hierarchy

Curve

Index

Constructors

constructor

new Curve<T>(): Curve<T>
Type Parameters
- T extends Vector<T>
Returns Curve<T>

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.

cacheArcLengths

cacheArcLengths: number[]

needsUpdate

needsUpdate: boolean = false

Methods

computeFrenetFrames

computeFrenetFrames(segments: number, closed: boolean): {
    binormals: Vector3[];
    normals: Vector3[];
    tangents: Vector3[];
}
Parameters
- segments: number
- closed: boolean
Returns {
    binormals: Vector3[];
    normals: Vector3[];
    tangents: Vector3[];
}
- binormals: Vector3[]
- normals: Vector3[]
- tangents: Vector3[]
- Defined in src/math/shape/core/Curve.ts:240

getLength

getLength(): number
Get total curve arc length

Returns number
- 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[]
- Defined in src/math/shape/core/Curve.ts:97

getPoint

getPoint(_t?: number, _optionalTarget?: T): T
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
- Optional _t: number
- Optional _optionalTarget: T
Returns T
- Defined in src/math/shape/core/Curve.ts:32

getPointAt

getPointAt(u: number, optionalTarget?: T): T
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: T
Returns T
- Defined in src/math/shape/core/Curve.ts:46

getPoints

getPoints(divisions?: number): T[]
Get sequence of points using getPoint( t )
Parameters
- divisions: number = 5
Returns T[]
- Defined in src/math/shape/core/Curve.ts:56

getResolution

getResolution(divisions: number): number
Parameters
- divisions: number
Returns number
- Defined in src/math/shape/core/Curve.ts:21

getSpacedPoints

getSpacedPoints(divisions: number): any[]
Get sequence of equi-spaced points using getPointAt( u )
Parameters
- divisions: number
Returns any[]
- Defined in src/math/shape/core/Curve.ts:71

getTangent

getTangent(t: number, optionalTarget: T): T
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;
Parameters
- t: number
- optionalTarget: T
Returns T
- Defined in src/math/shape/core/Curve.ts:208

getTangentAt

getTangentAt(u: number, optionalTarget: T): T
Returns tangent at equidistance point u on the curve getTangentAt(u: number, optionalTarget?: T): T;
Parameters
- u: number
- optionalTarget: T
Returns T
- Defined in src/math/shape/core/Curve.ts:233

getUtoTmapping

getUtoTmapping(u: number, distance?: number): number
Given u ( 0 .. 1 ), get a t to find p. This gives you points which are equi distance
Parameters
- u: number
- Optional distance: number
Returns number
- Defined in src/math/shape/core/Curve.ts:140

updateArcLengths

updateArcLengths(): void
Update the cumlative segment distance cache

Returns void
