Method Detail

getAngleSubtended

public abstract double getAngleSubtended()

Gets the angle subtended by the curve.

The value of the angle subtended may not represent an angular measure from a consistent vertex. For simple curves, it is an angular measure determined from a vertex in a space convenient for expressing points on the curve. For complex curves, it is the sum of the angles subtended by each of the constituent curves.

getInitialPoint

@Nonnull
public abstract Cartesian getInitialPoint()

Gets the initial point of the curve.

getFinalPoint

@Nonnull
public abstract Cartesian getFinalPoint()

Gets the final point of the curve.

interpolateUsingFraction

@Nonnull
public abstract Cartesian interpolateUsingFraction(double fraction)

Provides the location of a point on the curve that is the indicated fraction of the distance between the InitialPoint (get) and FinalPoint (get).

The value of the fraction parameter should range between 0.0 and 1.0.

Parameters:

fraction - The portion of the distance along the curve.

Returns:

The point at the indicated position along the curve.

interpolateUsingAngleSubtended

@Nonnull
public abstract Cartesian interpolateUsingAngleSubtended(double angle)

Provides the location of a point on the curve that is at the indicated angle defined between the InitialPoint (get) and FinalPoint (get).

The value of the angle parameter should range between 0.0 and AngleSubtended (get).

Parameters:

angle - The angle from the initial point.

Returns:

The point at the indicated position along the curve.

getPoints

@Nonnull
public ArrayList<PointOnCurve> getPoints(double granularity)

Provides a collection of points along the curve at the requested granularity.

Parameters:

granularity - The increment of AngleSubtended (get) used to generate the intermediate points between the initial and final points.

Returns:

The collection of points. The points will be ordered in increasing order by Fraction (get)
