SurfaceEvaluator.getCurvature Method

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

Description

Get the curvature values at a parameter positions on the surface.

Syntax

Python
C++

"surfaceEvaluator_var" is a variable referencing a SurfaceEvaluator object.

(returnValue, maxTangent, maxCurvature, minCurvature) = surfaceEvaluator_var.getCurvature(parameter)


#include <Core/Geometry/SurfaceEvaluator.h

// Declare the output arguments.
Ptr<Point2D> parameter;
Ptr<Vector3D> maxTangent;
double maxCurvature;
double minCurvature;
boolean returnValue = surfaceEvaluator_var->getCurvature(parameter, maxTangent, maxCurvature, minCurvature);

Return Value

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

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
parameter	Point2D	The parameter positions to return curvature information at.
maxTangent	Vector3D	The output directions of maximum curvature at the position on the surface.
maxCurvature	double	The output magnitude of the maximum curvature at the position on the surface.
minCurvature	double	The output magnitude of the minimum curvature at the position on the surface. The minimum curvature direction is perpendicular to the maximum curvature tangent directions.
