axiolid_evaluate/station.rs
1//! Stations: a position at a distance along a curve, framed by the curve's
2//! section (#241, ADR 0082).
3//!
4//! A station names a place by a measure along a basis curve instead of by
5//! coordinates, the way an alignment is staked out. Reading it back is
6//! curve evaluation, so it lives here, beside the arc-length machinery it
7//! reuses ([`crate::arc_parameter`]).
8//!
9//! # Distance convention
10//!
11//! The distance is measured in the basis curve's own convention, from its
12//! start:
13//!
14//! - an [`Elevated3`](axiolid_curve::Elevated3) or a
15//! [`Banked3`](axiolid_curve::Banked3) is authored against PLAN distance,
16//! its own parameter, and a station on it is a plan distance (the
17//! curve-evaluation contract's `DistanceConvention::PlanDistance`);
18//! - every other curve, 2D or 3D, is measured by its arc length (for a 2D
19//! curve, the plan length).
20//!
21//! The start is parameter `0` for a line, a circle, an ellipse, an
22//! intrinsic curve and a chain, and the first parameter of the domain for
23//! a polyline or a B-spline. A distance must lie in `[0, L]`, `L` the
24//! curve's length ([`station_length2`], [`station_length3`]): one full turn
25//! for a closed conic, no limit for a line. A negative or non-finite
26//! distance, and one past `L` by more than
27//! [`ARC_LENGTH_TOLERANCE`]` * max(1, L)`, is refused by name; one past it
28//! by less is read at `L`.
29//!
30//! # Section frame
31//!
32//! [`SectionFrame`] carries the point and three unit axes: `tangent` along
33//! the curve, `lateral` to the LEFT of it, and `up = tangent x lateral`.
34//!
35//! - A 2D curve lies in the plane `z = 0`: `lateral` is the left normal,
36//! `up` is `+Z`.
37//! - A [`Banked3`](axiolid_curve::Banked3) is framed by its rolled section
38//! ([`crate::banked::banked_section`]): `lateral` towards the left rail
39//! head.
40//! - Every other 3D curve, an [`Elevated3`](axiolid_curve::Elevated3)
41//! included, gets the reference-up frame against `+Z`, the one
42//! `ReferenceCurveEvaluator::frame_at` returns: `lateral` is horizontal,
43//! `up` leans back with the grade. A vertical tangent has no such frame
44//! and is refused by name.
45//!
46//! [`SectionFrame::frame`] returns the axes in the curve-evaluation
47//! provider's layout: `x` the tangent, `y` up, `z = -lateral` (to the
48//! right). The contract's documentation of `frame_at` still says `z` is up
49//! (#242); this module follows the provider.
50//!
51//! [`SectionFrame::plan`] is the vertical alternative: the tangent's
52//! horizontal projection, the horizontal left normal and `+Z`, with grade
53//! and bank dropped.
54//!
55//! # Explicit orientation (#246)
56//!
57//! [`SectionFrame::oriented`] turns a section frame by an explicit axis and
58//! reference direction given as components in that frame, `(tangent,
59//! lateral, up)`, not in world coordinates: a linear placement's axes "are
60//! relative to the curve used for linear referencing ..., maintaining the
61//! relationship to the tangent of the curve" (buildingSMART IFC 4.3,
62//! `IfcAxis2PlacementLinear`), whose local `X`, `Y`, `Z` are the tangent,
63//! the left lateral and up. The axis is the oriented up, exact; the
64//! reference direction is made perpendicular to it (Gram-Schmidt, axis
65//! primary) and becomes the oriented tangent. The point does not move.
66//!
67//! # Accuracy contract
68//!
69//! The point and frame are the exact curve's at a measure within
70//! [`ARC_LENGTH_TOLERANCE`]` * max(1, s)` of `s` where the arc length is
71//! numerical (a conic, a polyline is exact, a B-spline), at `s` itself on a
72//! line, an intrinsic curve, a chain and an elevated or banked curve (their
73//! parameter is the measure), each evaluated to its own stated accuracy
74//! (Gauss-Legendre quadrature for intrinsic positions, ADR 0060).
