public interface ILcdCurve
extends ILcdShape

A curve is a continuous, one-dimensional shape whose points can be retrieved using a single parameter.

Examples of curves are lines, arcs, or any connected combination thereof.

Note that this interface does not enforce continuity. Rather, this is the responsibility of the instance (e.g. ILcdGXYEditor) that creates or manipulates the curves.

You can retrieve points along the curve using computePointSFCT(double, com.luciad.shape.shape3D.ILcd3DEditablePoint), for a parameter between 0 and 1, where 0 is the start of the curve and 1 is the end.

You can retrieve the tangent at points along the curve using getTangent2D(double) using the same parameter.

A curve should have the following invariants:

• getTangent2D(0) = getStartTangent2D()
• getTangent2D(1) = getEndTangent2D()
• computePointSFCT(0) = getStartPoint()
• computePointSFCT(1) = getEndPoint()

Since:

Method Detail

getStartPoint

ILcdPoint getStartPoint()

Retrieves the start point of the curve.

This is equivalent to computePointSFCT(0).

Returns:

the start point of the curve

getEndPoint

ILcdPoint getEndPoint()

Retrieves the end point of the curve.

This is equivalent to computePointSFCT(1).

Returns:

the end point of the curve

getStartTangent2D

double getStartTangent2D()

Returns the angle of the curve's tangent at the start point, in degrees counterclockwise from the direction at 3 o'clock.

The tangent orientation is from the start point towards the rest of the shape.

This is the same as getTangent2D(0).

Returns:

the curve's angle in the start point

getEndTangent2D

double getEndTangent2D()

Returns the angle of the curve's tangent at the end point, in degrees counterclockwise from the direction at 3 o'clock.

The tangent orientation is from the end point, away from the curve before it.

This is the same as getTangent2D(1).

Returns:

the curve's angle in the end point

getTangent2D

double getTangent2D(double aParam)

Returns the angle of the curve's tangent in the point defined by the given parameter, in degrees counterclockwise from the direction at 3 o'clock.

The tangent orientation is from the point at parameter aParam towards the rest of the shape.

• The tangent at parameter 0 is the same as getStartTangent2D().
• The tangent at parameter 1 is the same as getEndTangent2D().

Parameters:

aParam - a value of the closed interval [0,1]

Returns:

the curve's angle in the point defined by the given parameter

getLength2D

double getLength2D(double aParam1,
                   double aParam2)

Returns the length between two points of the curve, defined by the given parameters.

• When aParam1 == aParam2, the length is 0.
• When aParam1 == 0 and aParam2 == 1, the length is the whole length of the curve.
• When aParam1 > aParam2, the length is (aParam1 to 1) + (0 to aParam2).

Parameters:

aParam1 - a value of the closed interval [0,1]

aParam2 - a value of the closed interval [0,1]

Returns:

the length of the curve.

computePointSFCT

void computePointSFCT(double aParam,
                      ILcd3DEditablePoint aPointSFCT)

Computes a point of the curve, defined by the given parameter.

• At parameter 0, the point is the same as getStartPoint().
• At parameter 1, the point is the same as getEndPoint().

Parameters:

aParam - a value of the closed interval [0,1]

aPointSFCT - the point to store the computed curve point in

getInterpolation

String getInterpolation()

Returns the interpolation method used by this curve.

A set of predefined constants are defined in this interface, which are used by the default ILcdCurve implementations provided by LuciadLightspeed.

Custom implementations can define their own constants, and use them to interpret the interpolation of the curve.

Returns:

the interpolation method used by this curve.

getLineSegmentIntersectionCount

int getLineSegmentIntersectionCount(ILcdPoint aP1,
                                    ILcdPoint aP2)

Returns the number of intersections between this curve and a line segment defined by the two specified points.

This information can be used to perform containment calculations, if this curve is closed or if this curve is part of a composite closed curve. By determining the number of intersections between this curve and a line segment starting from a given point in a fixed direction, one can determine whether a point is located within the closed curve by using the even-odd rule.

Parameters:

aP1 - the first point of the line segment

aP2 - the second point of the line segment

Returns:

the number of intersections between the curve and the line segment
