Detailed Description

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

  • the origin is the apex of the parabola,
  • the "X Axis" defines the axis of symmetry; the parabola is on the positive side of this axis,
  • the origin, "X Direction" and "Y Direction" define the plane of the parabola. This coordinate system is the local coordinate system of the parabola. The "main Direction" of this coordinate system is a vector normal to the plane of the parabola. The axis, of which the origin and unit vector are respectively the origin and "main Direction" of the local coordinate system, is termed the "Axis" or "main Axis" of the parabola. The "main Direction" of the local coordinate system gives an explicit orientation to the parabola, determining the direction in which the parameter increases along the parabola. The Geom_Parabola parabola is parameterized as follows: P(U) = O + U*U/(4.*F)*XDir + U*YDir where:
  • P is the point of parameter U,
  • O, XDir and YDir are respectively the origin, "X Direction" and "Y Direction" of its local coordinate system,
  • F is the focal length of the parabola. The parameter of the parabola is therefore its Y coordinate in the local coordinate system, with the "X Axis" of the local coordinate system defining the origin of the parameter. The parameter range is ] -infinite, +infinite [.
