BSplineCurve3dBase Class
Base class for BSplineCurve3d and BSplineCurve3dH.
- A bspline curve consists of a set of knots and a set of poles.
- The bspline curve is a function of the independent "knot axis" variable
- The curve "follows" the poles loosely.
- The is a set of polynomial spans.
- The polynomial spans all have same
degree
. - Within each span, the polynomial of that
degree
is controlled byorder = degree + 1
contiguous points called poles. - The is a strict relationship between knot and poles counts: `numPoles + order = numKnots + 2'
- The number of spans is
numSpan = numPoles - degree
- For a given
spanIndex
:- The
order
poles begin at indexspanIndex
. - The
2*order
knots begin as span index - The knot interval for this span is from
knot[degree+span-1] to knot[degree+span]
- The
- The active part of the knot axis is
knot[degree-1] < knot < knot[degree-1 + numSpan]
i.e. `knot[degree-1] < knot < knot[numPoles]
Nearly all bsplines are "clamped ".
- Clamping make the curve pass through its first and last poles, with tangents directed along the first and last edges of the control polygon.
- The knots for a clamped bspline have
degree
copies of the lowest knot value anddegree
copies of the highest knot value. - For instance, the knot vector `[0,0,0,1,2,3,3,3]
- can be evaluated from
0<=knot<=3
- has 3 spans: 0 to 1, 1 to 2, 2 to 3
- has 6 poles
- passes through its first and last poles.
- can be evaluated from
create
methods may allow classic convention that has an extra knot at the beginning and end of the knot vector.- The extra knots (first and last) were never referenced by the bspline recurrence relations.
- When the
create
methods recognize the classic setup (numPoles + order = numKnots
), the extra knot is not saved with the BSplineCurve3dBase knots.
The weighted variant has the problem that CurvePrimitive 3d typing does not allow undefined result where Point4d has zero weight.
The convention for these is to return 000 in such places.
Note the class relationships:
- BSpline1dNd knows the bspline recurrence relations for control points (poles) with no physical meaning.
- BsplineCurve3dBase owns a protected BSpline1dNd
- BsplineCurve3dBase is derived from CurvePrimitive, which creates obligation to act as a 3D curve, such as
- evaluate fraction to point and derivatives wrt fraction
- compute intersection with plane
- BSplineCurve3d and BSplineCurve3dH have variant logic driven by whether or not there are "weights" on the poles.
- For
BSplineCurve3d
, the xyz value of pole calculations are "final" values for 3d evaluation - For
BSplineCurve3dH
, variousBSpline1dNd
results with xyzw have to be normalized back to xyz.
- For
These classes do not support "periodic" variants.
- Periodic curves need to have certain leading knots and poles replicated at the end
