GMModelInterfaces Interface CATICGMEdgeCurveComputation

Usage: an implementation of this interface is supplied and you must use it as is. You should not reimplement it.

interface CATICGMEdgeCurveComputation

Class defining the operator to create an edge curve.
This operator is to be preferred to the methods offered by CATGeoFactory as it manages non linear parameterization of curves.

The CATICGMEdgeCurveComputation operator is created with the CATCGMCreateEdgeCurveComputation method and directly released with the Release method. It is is not streamable.
It can be used in two modes:
- the BASIC mode, the operation is automatically performed at the operator creation.
- the ADVANCED mode, options can be specified with the SetXxx methods, before asking for the computation with the Run method.

Method Index

o GetEdgeCurve(): Returns the created edge curve.
o SetLimits(CATCrvLimits&,CATCrvLimits&): Defines the domains of the curves to take into account (ADVANCED mode).
o SetMaxGap(double): Defines the maximum gap between the initial curves above which the edge curve cannot be created (ADVANCED mode).
o SetParams(CATCrvParam&,CATCrvParam&,CATCrvParam&,CATCrvParam&): Defines the domains of the curves to be used for the edge curve computation (ADVANCED mode).

Methods

o GetEdgeCurve

public virtual GetEdgeCurve(

)

Returns the created edge curve.

Returns:: The pointer to the created edge curve, NULL if the initial curves cannot be merged.

o SetLimits

public virtual SetLimits(	const	`iLimits1`,
	const	`iLimits2`)

Defines the domains of the curves to take into account (ADVANCED mode).
The relative orientation (start-end of each curve) is not specified.

Parameters:

iLimits1: The limits of the first curve.
iLimits2: The limits of the second curve.

o SetMaxGap

public virtual SetMaxGap( const iMaxGap)

Defines the maximum gap between the initial curves above which the edge curve cannot be created (ADVANCED mode).

Parameters:

iMaxGap: The maximum gap value. By default, a gap around 1mm is allowed.

o SetParams

public virtual SetParams(	const	`iStartParam1`,
	const	`iEndParam1`,
	const	`iStartParam2`,
	const	`iEndParam2`)

Defines the domains of the curves to be used for the edge curve computation (ADVANCED mode).
The start and end CATCrvParam for each curve specify a relative direction which do not affect the relative orientation of the input curves within the edge curve.

Parameters:

iStartParam1: The parameter of the start limit of the first curve.
iEndParam1: The parameter of the end limit of the first curve.
iStartParam2: The parameter of the start limit of the second curve.
iEndParam2: The parameter of the end limit of the second curve.
