  • Method Details

    • connect

      public boolean connect(ILcdPoint aStart, ILcdPoint aEnd)
      Description copied from class: TLcdGML31ArcByCenterPoint

      Adapts this arc such that its start point and end point coincide with the given start and end point. Note that this modification is only observable when this object is accessed through the ILcd2DEditableCircularArcByCenterPoint interface. When accessed using the GML or the ILcdDataObject API, the original state is used.

      This method should be used for arcs that are part of an ILcdCompositeCurve and that have inaccurate coordinates. Drawing such arcs directly may result in exceptions being thrown while painting because the ILcdCompositeCurve contract is not observed. The ILcdCompositeCurve contract explicitly states that the end point of a curve member should coincide with the start point of the next curve member.

      In case the difference between the computed start/end point and the given start/end point is too large, false is returned. In that case, no adaptation is done. Otherwise, true is returned.

      Overrides:
      connect in class TLcdGML31ArcByCenterPoint
      Parameters:
      aStart - the start point that this curve should have (see TLcdGML31ArcByCenterPoint.getStartPoint())
      aEnd - the end point that this curve should have (see TLcdGML31ArcByCenterPoint.getEndPoint())
      Returns:
      true if the curve is adapted to have its start and end point coincide with the given points

    • getNumDerivativeInterior

      public long getNumDerivativeInterior()
      Returns the value of the property that maps to the numDerivativeInterior attribute.

      The attribute "numDerivativesInterior" specifies the type of continuity that is guaranteed interior to the curve. The default value of "0" means simple continuity, which is a mandatory minimum level of continuity. This level is referred to as "C 0 " in mathematical texts. A value of 1 means that the function and its first derivative are continuous at the appropriate end point: "C 1 " continuity. A value of "n" for any integer means the function and its first n derivatives are continuous: "C n " continuity. NOTE: Use of these values is only appropriate when the basic curve definition is an underdetermined system. For example, line string segments cannot support continuity above C 0 , since there is no spare control parameter to adjust the incoming angle at the end points of the segment. Spline functions on the other hand often have extra degrees of freedom on end segments that allow them to adjust the values of the derivatives to support C 1 or higher continuity.

      Returns:
      the value of the NUM_DERIVATIVE_INTERIOR_PROPERTY property.
    • setNumDerivativeInterior

      public void setNumDerivativeInterior(long aValue)

    • getNumDerivativesAtEnd

      public long getNumDerivativesAtEnd()
      Returns the value of the property that maps to the numDerivativesAtEnd attribute.

      The attribute "numDerivativesAtEnd" specifies the type of continuity between this curve segment and its successor. If this is the last curve segment in the curve, one of these values, as appropriate, is ignored. The default value of "0" means simple continuity, which is a mandatory minimum level of continuity. This level is referred to as "C 0 " in mathematical texts. A value of 1 means that the function and its first derivative are continuous at the appropriate end point: "C 1 " continuity.
