Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ChLineNurbs()

chrono::geometry::ChLineNurbs::ChLineNurbs ( int  morder,
std::vector< ChVector<> > &  mpoints,
ChVectorDynamic<> *  mknots = 0,
ChVectorDynamic<> *  weights = 0 
)

Constructor from a given array of control points.

Input data is copied. If the knots are not provided, a uniformly spaced knot vector is made. If the weights are not provided, a constant weight vector is made.

Parameters
morderorder p: 1= linear, 2=quadratic, etc.
mpointscontrol points, size n. Required: at least n >= p+1
mknotsknots, size k. Required k=n+p+1. If not provided, initialized to uniform.
weightsweights, size w. Required w=n. If not provided, all weights as 1.

◆ ComputeKnotUfromU()

double chrono::geometry::ChLineNurbs::ComputeKnotUfromU ( double  U) const
inline

When using Evaluate() etc.

you need U parameter to be in 0..1 range, but knot range is not necessarily in 0..1. So you can convert U->u, where u is in knot range, calling this:

◆ ComputeUfromKnotU()

double chrono::geometry::ChLineNurbs::ComputeUfromKnotU ( double  u) const
inline

When using Evaluate() etc.

you need U parameter to be in 0..1 range, but knot range is not necessarily in 0..1. So you can convert u->U, where u is in knot range, calling this:
