Method Details

getStartPoint

default DirectedPoint3d getStartPoint()

Description copied from interface: Curve

Start point of this Curve.

Specified by:

getStartPoint in interface Curve<DirectedPoint3d,Direction3d,Point3d,Flattener3d,PolyLine3d>

Returns:

start point of this Curve

getEndPoint

default DirectedPoint3d getEndPoint()

Description copied from interface: Curve

End point of this Curve.

Specified by:

getEndPoint in interface Curve<DirectedPoint3d,Direction3d,Point3d,Flattener3d,PolyLine3d>

Returns:

end point of this Curve

getStartDirection

default Direction3d getStartDirection()

Description copied from interface: Curve

Start direction of this Curve.

Specified by:

getStartDirection in interface Curve<DirectedPoint3d,Direction3d,Point3d,Flattener3d,PolyLine3d>

Returns:

start direction of this Curve

getEndDirection

default Direction3d getEndDirection()

Description copied from interface: Curve

End direction of this Curve.

Specified by:

getEndDirection in interface Curve<DirectedPoint3d,Direction3d,Point3d,Flattener3d,PolyLine3d>

Returns:

end direction of this Curve

getDirection

default Direction3d getDirection(double fraction)

Description copied from interface: Curve

Returns the direction at the given fraction. The fraction may represent any parameter, such as t in a Bézier curve, s in a Clothoid, or simply the fraction of length. The default implementation performs a numerical approach by looking at the direction between the points at fraction, and a point 1e-6 away.

Specified by:

getDirection in interface Curve<DirectedPoint3d,Direction3d,Point3d,Flattener3d,PolyLine3d>

Specified by:

getDirection in interface Flattener.FlattableCurve<Point3d,Direction3d>

Parameters:

fraction - the fraction

Returns:

the direction at the given fraction
