Geom_OffsetCurve Class Reference

This class implements the basis services for an offset curve in 3D space. The Offset curve in this package can be a self intersecting curve even if the basis curve does not self-intersect. The self intersecting portions are not deleted at the construction time. An offset curve is a curve at constant distance (Offset) from a basis curve in a reference direction V. The offset curve takes its parametrization from the basis curve. The Offset curve is in the direction of the normal N defined with the cross product T^V, where the vector T is given by the first derivative on the basis curve with non zero length. The distance offset may be positive or negative to indicate the preferred side of the curve : . distance offset >0 => the curve is in the direction of N . distance offset <0 => the curve is in the direction of - N.

	C is the basis curve, Offset is the distance between <me> and the basis curve at any point. V defines the fixed reference direction (offset direction).

Detailed Description

This class implements the basis services for an offset curve in 3D space. The Offset curve in this package can be a self intersecting curve even if the basis curve does not self-intersect. The self intersecting portions are not deleted at the construction time. An offset curve is a curve at constant distance (Offset) from a basis curve in a reference direction V. The offset curve takes its parametrization from the basis curve. The Offset curve is in the direction of the normal N defined with the cross product T^V, where the vector T is given by the first derivative on the basis curve with non zero length. The distance offset may be positive or negative to indicate the preferred side of the curve : . distance offset >0 => the curve is in the direction of N . distance offset <0 => the curve is in the direction of - N.

On the Offset curve : Value (U) = BasisCurve.Value(U) + (Offset * (T ^ V)) / ||T ^ V||

At any point the Offset direction V must not be parallel to the vector T and the vector T must not have null length else the offset curve is not defined. So the offset curve has not the same continuity as the basis curve.

Warnings :

In this package we suppose that the continuity of the offset curve is one degree less than the continuity of the basis curve and we don't check that at any point ||T^V|| != 0.0

So to evaluate the curve it is better to check that the offset curve is well defined at any point because an exception could be raised. The check is not done in this package at the creation of the offset curve because the control needs the use of an algorithm which cannot be implemented in this package.

The OffsetCurve is closed if the first point and the last point are the same (The distance between these two points is lower or equal to the Resolution sea package gp) . The OffsetCurve can be closed even if the basis curve is not closed.

Geom_OffsetCurve::Geom_OffsetCurve	(	const occ::handle< Geom_Curve > &	C,
		const double	Offset,

C is the basis curve, Offset is the distance between <me> and the basis curve at any point. V defines the fixed reference direction (offset direction). If P is a point on the basis curve and T the first derivative with non zero length at this point, the corresponding point on the offset curve is in the direction of the vector-product N = V ^ T where N is a unitary vector. If isNotCheckC0 = TRUE checking if basis curve has C0-continuity is not made. Warnings : In this package the entities are not shared. The OffsetCurve is built with a copy of the curve C. So when C is modified the OffsetCurve is not modified.

Raised if the basis curve C is not at least C1. Warnings : No check is done to know if ||V^T|| != 0.0 at any point.
