Detailed Description

This class is used to approximate or interpolate a BSplineSurface passing through an Array2 of points, with a given continuity. Describes functions for building a BSpline surface which approximates or interpolates a set of points. A PointsToBSplineSurface object provides a framework for:

• defining the data of the BSpline surface to be built,
• implementing the approximation algorithm or the interpolation algorithm, and consulting the results. In fact, class contains 3 algorithms, 2 for approximation and 1 for interpolation. First approximation algorithm is based on usual least square criterium: minimization of square distance between samplimg points and result surface. Second approximation algorithm uses least square criterium and additional minimization of some local characteristic of surface (first, second and third partial derivative), which allows managing shape of surface. Interpolation algorithm produces surface, which passes through sampling points.

There is accordance between parametrization of result surface S(U, V) and indexes of array Points(i, j): first index corresponds U parameter of surface, second - V parameter of surface. So, points of any j-th column Points(*, j) represent any V isoline of surface, points of any i-th row Point(i, *) represent any U isoline of surface.

For each sampling point parameters U, V are calculated according to type of parametrization, which can be Approx_ChordLength, Approx_Centripetal or Approx_IsoParametric. Default value is Approx_ChordLength. For ChordLength parametrisation U(i) = U(i-1) + P(i).Distance(P(i-1)), For Centripetal type U(i) = U(i-1) + Sqrt(P(i).Distance(P(i-1))). Centripetal type can get better result for irregular distances between points.

Approximation and interpolation algorithms can build periodical surface along U direction, which corresponds columns of array Points(i, j), if corresponding parameter (thePeriodic, see comments below) of called methods is set to True. Algorithm uses first row Points(1, *) as periodic boundary, so to avoid getting wrong surface it is necessary to keep distance between corresponding points of first and last rows of Points: Points(1, *) != Points(Upper, *).
