control_cage.rs

//! The CONTROL CAGE of a NURBS solid (`feature_pipeline::features::nurbs_solid`).
//!
//! A cage is a lattice of control points wrapped around a primitive: `M`
//! RINGS of `N` points each, closed around the body's axis (+Y, the polar
//! axis every other primitive uses), plus one POLE point at either end. The body is the bicubic B-spline surface those points
//! control — the smooth "subdivision" of the cage, lying inside it the way a
//! subdivision surface lies inside its control mesh — closed into a solid the
//! way the kernel's sphere is: one face, one seam edge, two degenerate pole
//! edges. Every point is free: dragging it deforms the body smoothly, and new
//! LOOPS of points (a ring, or a column running pole to pole) are inserted by
//! knot insertion, which refines the cage WITHOUT changing the body — the same
//! surface, with more handles on it.
//!
//! # Parameterisation
//!
//! The around direction `u` is PERIODIC: a ring stores `N` distinct points
//! and `N + 1` cumulative knots `t_0 = 0 < … < t_N = period`, extended
//! cyclically (`t_{i+N} = t_i + period`). Point `c` of a ring carries the
//! basis supported on `[t_c, t_{c+4}]`, so the curve over span `[t_k, t_{k+1}]`
//! blends points `k-3 … k` (cyclic). The kernel's surfaces need CLAMPED knot
//! vectors, so [`ControlCage::surface`] converts each row by unwrapping the
//! periodic sequence and inserting the seam knot to full multiplicity (Boehm),
//! which keeps the surface identical and C² across the seam — a deformed cage
//! shows no crease where the seam edge runs.
//!
//! The pole-to-pole direction `v` is OPEN and clamped over `M + 2` rows: the
//! bottom pole, the rings bottom-up, the top pole. A pole row is `N` copies of
//! the pole point, so the surface passes through the pole exactly and the two
//! pole edges are degenerate, exactly as on the sphere.
//!
//! # Point indexing
//!
//! Every editor and script addresses a point by ONE linear index:
//! `0` is the bottom pole, `1 + r·N + c` is column `c` of ring `r` (ring `0`
//! nearest the bottom pole), and `1 + M·N` is the top pole. The wrap column
//! the clamped surface carries and the collapsed pole rows are never exposed —
//! they are derived here, once.
