◆ CurveToBSplineCurve()

static Handle< Geom_BSplineCurve > GeomConvert::CurveToBSplineCurve ( const Handle< Geom_Curve > &  C,
const Convert_ParameterisationType  Parameterisation = Convert_TgtThetaOver2 
)
static

This function converts a non infinite curve from Geom into a B-spline curve. C must be an ellipse or a circle or a trimmed conic or a trimmed line or a Bezier curve or a trimmed Bezier curve or a BSpline curve or a trimmed BSpline curve or an OffsetCurve. The returned B-spline is not periodic except if C is a Circle or an Ellipse. If the Parameterisation is QuasiAngular than the returned curve is NOT periodic in case a periodic Geom_Circle or Geom_Ellipse. For TgtThetaOver2_1 and TgtThetaOver2_2 the method raises an exception in case of a periodic Geom_Circle or a Geom_Ellipse ParameterisationType applies only if the curve is a Circle or an ellipse : TgtThetaOver2, – TgtThetaOver2_1, – TgtThetaOver2_2, – TgtThetaOver2_3, – TgtThetaOver2_4,.

Purpose: this is the classical rational parameterisation 2 1 - t cos(theta) = ---— 2 1 + t

2t sin(theta) = ---— 2 1 + t

t = tan (theta/2)

with TgtThetaOver2 the routine will compute the number of spans using the rule num_spans = [ (ULast - UFirst) / 1.2 ] + 1 with TgtThetaOver2_N, N spans will be forced: an error will be raized if (ULast - UFirst) >= PI and N = 1, ULast - UFirst >= 2 PI and N = 2

QuasiAngular, here t is a rational function that approximates theta -—> tan(theta/2). Nevetheless the composing with above function yields exact functions whose square sum up to 1 RationalC1 ; t is replaced by a polynomial function of u so as to grant C1 contiuity across knots. Exceptions Standard_DomainError:

  • if the curve C is infinite, or
  • if C is a (complete) circle or ellipse, and Parameterisation is equal to Convert_TgtThetaOver2_1 or Convert_TgtThetaOver2_2. Standard_ConstructionError:
  • if C is a (complete) circle or ellipse, and if Parameterisation is not equal to Convert_TgtThetaOver2, Convert_RationalC1, Convert_QuasiAngular (the curve is converted in these three cases) or to Convert_TgtThetaOver2_1 or Convert_TgtThetaOver2_2 (another exception is raised in these two cases).
  • if C is a trimmed circle or ellipse, if Parameterisation is equal to Convert_TgtThetaOver2_1 and if U2 - U1 > 0.9999 * Pi, where U1 and U2 are respectively the first and the last parameters of the trimmed curve (this method of parameterization cannot be used to convert a half-circle or a half-ellipse, for example), or
  • if C is a trimmed circle or ellipse, if Parameterisation is equal to Convert_TgtThetaOver2_2 and U2 - U1 > 1.9999 * Pi where U1 and U2 are respectively the first and the last parameters of the trimmed curve (this method of parameterization cannot be used to convert a quasi-complete circle or ellipse).

Convert a curve from Geom by an approximation method.

If C is not periodic SameOrientation is not used for the computation and C is oriented from the knot fromK1 to the knot toK2. We just keep the local definition of C between the knots FromK1 and ToK2. The returned B-spline curve has its first and last knots with a multiplicity equal to degree + 1, where degree is the polynomial degree of C. The indexes of the knots FromK1 and ToK2 doesn't include the repetition of multiple knots in their definition. Raised if FromK1 = ToK2 Raised if FromK1 or ToK2 are out of the bounds [FirstUKnotIndex, LastUKnotIndex]
