Detailed Description

Describes a parabola in 3D space. A parabola is defined by its focal length (that is, the distance between its focus and apex) and positioned in space with a coordinate system (a gp_Ax2 object) where:

the origin of the coordinate system is on the apex of the parabola,
the "X Axis" of the coordinate system is the axis of symmetry; the parabola is on the positive side of this axis, and
the origin, "X Direction" and "Y Direction" of the coordinate system define the plane of the parabola. The equation of the parabola in this coordinate system, which is the "local coordinate system" of the parabola, is: Y**2 = (2*P) * X. where P, referred to as the parameter of the parabola, is the distance between the focus and the directrix (P is twice the focal length). The "main Direction" of the local coordinate system gives the normal vector to the plane of the parabola. See Also gce_MakeParab which provides functions for more complex parabola constructions Geom_Parabola which provides additional functions for constructing parabolas and works, in particular, with the parametric equations of parabolas

gp_Parab::gp_Parab ( )

Creates an indefinite Parabola.

gp_Parab::gp_Parab	(	const gp_Ax2 &	A2,
		const Standard_Real	Focal
	)

Creates a parabola with its local coordinate system "A2" and it's focal length "Focal". The XDirection of A2 defines the axis of symmetry of the parabola. The YDirection of A2 is parallel to the directrix of the parabola. The Location point of A2 is the vertex of the parabola Raises ConstructionError if Focal < 0.0 Raised if Focal < 0.0.

gp_Parab::gp_Parab	(	const gp_Ax1 &	D,
		const gp_Pnt &	F
	)

D is the directrix of the parabola and F the focus point. The symmetry axis (XAxis) of the parabola is normal to the directrix and pass through the focus point F, but its location point is the vertex of the parabola. The YAxis of the parabola is parallel to D and its location point is the vertex of the parabola. The normal to the plane of the parabola is the cross product between the XAxis and the YAxis.
