Spline

public Spline()

Spline

public Spline(Spline.SplineType splineType,
              Vector3f[] controlPoints,
              float curveTension,
              boolean cycle)

Create a spline

Parameters:

splineType - the type of the spline @see {SplineType}

controlPoints - an array of vector to use as control points of the spline If the type of the curve is Bezier curve the control points should be provided in the appropriate way. Each point 'p' describing control position in the scene should be surrounded by two handler points. This applies to every point except for the border points of the curve, who should have only one handle point. The pattern should be as follows: P0 - H0 : H1 - P1 - H1 : ... : Hn - Pn n is the amount of 'P' - points.

curveTension - the tension of the spline

cycle - true if the spline cycle.

Create a spline

Parameters:

splineType - the type of the spline @see {SplineType}

controlPoints - a list of vector to use as control points of the spline If the type of the curve is Bezier curve the control points should be provided in the appropriate way. Each point 'p' describing control position in the scene should be surrounded by two handler points. This applies to every point except for the border points of the curve, who should have only one handle point.

curveTension - the tension of the spline

cycle - true if the spline cycle.

Spline

public Spline(java.util.List<Vector4f> controlPoints,
              java.util.List<java.lang.Float> nurbKnots)

Create a NURBS spline. A spline type is automatically set to SplineType.Nurb. The cycle is set to false by default.

Parameters:

controlPoints - a list of vector to use as control points of the spline

nurbKnots - the nurb's spline knots

Method Detail

addControlPoint

public void addControlPoint(Vector3f controlPoint)

Adds a controlPoint to the spline

Parameters:

controlPoint - a position in world space

removeControlPoint

public void removeControlPoint(Vector3f controlPoint)

remove the controlPoint from the spline

Parameters:

controlPoint - the controlPoint to remove

clearControlPoints

public void clearControlPoints()

interpolate

public Vector3f interpolate(float value,
                            int currentControlPoint,
                            Vector3f store)

Interpolate a position on the spline

Parameters:

value - a value from 0 to 1 that represent the position between the current control point and the next one

currentControlPoint - the current control point

store - a vector to store the result (use null to create a new one that will be returned by the method)

Returns:

the position

getCurveTension

public float getCurveTension()

returns the curve tension

setCurveTension

public void setCurveTension(float curveTension)

sets the curve tension

Parameters:

curveTension - the tension

isCycle

public boolean isCycle()

returns true if the spline cycle

setCycle

public void setCycle(boolean cycle)

set to true to make the spline cycle

Parameters:

cycle -

getTotalLength

public float getTotalLength()

return the total length of the spline

getType

public Spline.SplineType getType()

return the type of the spline

setType

public void setType(Spline.SplineType type)

Sets the type of the spline

Parameters:

type -

getControlPoints

public java.util.List<Vector3f> getControlPoints()

returns this spline control points

getSegmentsLength

This method returns NURBS' spline knots.

Returns:

NURBS' spline knots

getWeights

public float[] getWeights()

This method returns NURBS' spline weights.

Returns:

NURBS' spline weights

getBasisFunctionDegree

public int getBasisFunctionDegree()

This method returns NURBS' spline basis function degree.

Returns:

NURBS' spline basis function degree
