CurveEvaluator3D.getCurvatures Method

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

Description

Get the curvature values at a number of parameter positions on the curve.

Syntax

Python
C++

"curveEvaluator3D_var" is a variable referencing a CurveEvaluator3D object.

(returnValue, directions, curvatures) = curveEvaluator3D_var.getCurvatures(parameters)


#include <Core/Geometry/CurveEvaluator3D.h

// Declare the output arguments.
double[] parameters;
Vector3D[] directions;
double[] curvatures;
boolean returnValue = curveEvaluator3D_var->getCurvatures(parameters, directions, curvatures);

Return Value

Type	Description
boolean	Returns true if the curvatures were successfully returned.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
parameters	double[]	The array of parameter positions to return curvature information at. Each parameter value must be within the range of the parameter extents as provided by getParameterExtents.
directions	Vector3D[]	The output array of the direction of the curvature at each position on the curve. The length of this array will be the same as the length of the parameters array provided.
curvatures	double[]	The output array of the magnitude of the curvature at the position on the curve. The length of this array will be the same as the length of the parameters array provided.
