Fields

Implementations

impl<T: Real> CubicBezier3<T>

pub fn evaluate(self, t: T) -> Vec3<T>

Evaluates the position of the point lying on the curve at interpolation factor t.

This is one of the most important Bézier curve operations, because, in one way or another, it is used to render a curve to the screen. The common use case is to successively evaluate a curve at a set of values that range from 0 to 1, to approximate the curve as an array of line segments which are then rendered.

pub fn evaluate_derivative(self, t: T) -> Vec3<T>

Evaluates the derivative tangent at interpolation factor t, which happens to give a non-normalized tangent vector.

See also normalized_tangent().

pub fn matrix() -> Mat4<T>

Returns the constant matrix M such that, given T = [1, t*t, t*t*t, t*t*t*t] and P the vector of control points, dot(T * M, P) evalutes the Bezier curve at 't'.

This function name is arguably dubious.

pub fn split(self, t: T) -> [Self; 2]

Splits this cubic Bézier curve into two curves, at interpolation factor t.

pub fn unit_quarter_circle() -> Self

Gets the cubic Bézier curve that approximates a unit quarter circle.

You can build a good-looking circle out of 4 curves by applying symmetries to this curve.

pub fn unit_circle() -> [Self; 4]

Gets the 4 cubic Bézier curves that, used together, approximate a unit quarter circle.

The returned tuple is (north-east, north-west, south-west, south-east).

pub fn binary_search_point_by_steps(

    epsilon: T
) -> (T, Vec3<T>) where
    T: Add<T, Output = T> + From<u16>, 

Searches for the point lying on this curve that is closest to p.

steps is the number of points to sample in the curve for the "broad phase" that takes place before the binary search.

epsilon denotes the desired precision for the result. The higher it is, the sooner the algorithm will finish, but the result would be less satisfactory.

Panics

Panics if epsilon is less than or equal to T::epsilon().
epsilon must be positive and not approximately equal to zero.

pub fn binary_search_point<I>(
    self,
    p: Vec3<T>,
    coarse: I,
    half_interval: T,
    epsilon: T
) -> (T, Vec3<T>) where
    T: Add<T, Output = T>,
    I: IntoIterator<Item = (T, Vec3<T>)>, 

Searches for the point lying on this curve that is closest to p.

For an example usage, see the source code of binary_search_point_by_steps().

coarse is an iterator over pairs of (interpolation_value, point) that are assumed to, together, represent a discretization of the curve.
This parameter is used for a "broad phase" - the point yielded by coarse that is closest to p is the starting point for the binary search.
coarse may very well yield a single pair; Also, it was designed so that, if you already have the values handy, there is no need to recompute them.
This function doesn't panic if coarse yields no element, but then it would be very unlikely for the result to be satisfactory.

half_interval is the starting value for the half of the binary search interval.

epsilon denotes the desired precision for the result. The higher it is, the sooner the algorithm will finish, but the result would be less satisfactory.

Panics

Panics if epsilon is less than or equal to T::epsilon().
epsilon must be positive and not approximately equal to zero.
