CurveEvaluator3D.getCurvature Method

Parent Object: CurveEvaluator3D
Defined in namespace "adsk::core" and the header file is <Core/Geometry/CurveEvaluator3D.h>

Description

Get the curvature value at a parameter position on the curve.

Syntax

Python
C++

"curveEvaluator3D_var" is a variable referencing a CurveEvaluator3D object.

(returnValue, direction, curvature) = curveEvaluator3D_var.getCurvature(parameter)


#include <Core/Geometry/CurveEvaluator3D.h

// Declare the output arguments.
double parameter;
Ptr<Vector3D> direction;
double curvature;
boolean returnValue = curveEvaluator3D_var->getCurvature(parameter, direction, curvature);

Return Value

Type	Description
boolean	Returns true if the curvature was successfully returned.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
parameter	double	The parameter position to return the curvature information at. This value must be within the range of the parameter extents as provided by getParameterExtents.
direction	Vector3D	The output direction of the curvature at the position on the curve.
curvature	double	The output magnitude of the curvature at the position on the curve.
