Class TControlPointsCurve

Unit

Declaration

type TControlPointsCurve = class(TCurve)

Description

A basic abstract class for curves determined my some set of ControlPoints. Note: it is not defined in this class any correspondence between values of T (argument for Point function) and ControlPoints.

  • TCurve
  • TControlPointsCurve

Public function BoundingBox: TBox3D; override;

Bounding box of the curve. In this class, it is simply a BoundingBox of ControlPoints.

Public procedure UpdateControlPoints; virtual;

Always after changing ControlPoints or TBegin or TEnd and before calling Point (or anything that uses Point, like BoundingBox) call this method. It recalculates necessary things. ControlPoints.Count must be >= 2.

When overriding: always call inherited first.

Public constructor Create;

Constructor.

Public constructor CreateFromEquation(CasScriptCurve: TCasScriptCurve; ControlPointsCount: Cardinal);

Calculate initial control points by sampling given TCasScriptCurve, with analytical curve equation. TBegin and TEnd are copied from CasScriptCurve.

Public destructor Destroy; override;

This item has no description.

Public function ConvexHull: TVector3List;

Calculate the convex hull. Caller is responsible for freeing the result.
