Detailed Description

parametric function for 1D interpolating splines

vtkParametricSpline is a parametric function for 1D interpolating splines. vtkParametricSpline maps the single parameter u into a 3D point (x,y,z) using three instances of interpolating splines. This family of 1D splines is quaranteed to be parameterized in the interval [0,1]. Attempting to evaluate outside this interval will cause the parameter u to be clamped in the range [0,1].

When constructed, this class creates instances of vtkCardinalSpline for each of the x-y-z coordinates. The user may choose to replace these with their own instances of subclasses of vtkSpline.

Warning:
If you wish to tessellate the spline, use the class vtkParametricFunctionSource.

virtual const char* vtkParametricSpline::GetClassName (  )  [virtual]

Reimplemented from vtkParametricFunction.

static int vtkParametricSpline::IsTypeOf ( const char *  name  )  [static]

Return 1 if this class type is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkParametricFunction.

virtual int vtkParametricSpline::IsA ( const char *  name  )  [virtual]

Return 1 if this class is the same type of (or a subclass of) the named class. Returns 0 otherwise. This method works in combination with vtkTypeRevisionMacro found in vtkSetGet.h.

Reimplemented from vtkParametricFunction.

void vtkParametricSpline::PrintSelf ( ostream &  os,
vtkIndent  indent 
) [virtual]

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Reimplemented from vtkParametricFunction.

static vtkParametricSpline* vtkParametricSpline::New (  )  [static]

Construct the spline with the following parameters: MinimumU = 0, MaximumU = 1, JoinU = 0 (unless the spline is closed, then JoinU = 1), TwistU = 0, DerivativesSupplied = 0 (the other vtkParametricFunction parameters are ignored).

Reimplemented from vtkObject.

virtual int vtkParametricSpline::GetDimension (  )  [inline, virtual]

Return the parametric dimension of the class.

Implements vtkParametricFunction.

virtual double vtkParametricSpline::EvaluateScalar ( double  u[3],

Evaluate a scalar value at parametric coordinate u[0] and Pt[3]. The scalar value is just the parameter u[0].

Implements vtkParametricFunction.
