Detailed Description

Utility functions for path interpolation and exception handling.

The cubic interpolation functions are based on methods described in "Numerical Recipes in C, Second Edition" by Press et al., but the code here is distinct from the original.

Function Documentation

finalizeCubic()

template<Interpolatable T>

void finalizeCubic	(	const std::vector< T > &	coords,
		std::vector< T > &	dd
	)

Finalizes cubic spline interpolation by calculating second derivatives.

Template Parameters

T	The type of the coordinate, which must satisfy the Interpolatable concept.

Parameters

coords	A vector of coordinates for which second derivatives will be calculated.
dd	The output vector that will store the calculated second derivatives.

Exceptions

PathException

if there are fewer than two points for interpolation.

getPositionCubic()

template<Interpolatable T>

void getPositionCubic	(	RealType	t,
		T &	coord,
		const std::vector< T > &	coords,
		const std::vector< T > &	dd
	)

Performs cubic spline interpolation between coordinate points.

The method used for calculating the spline is from "Numerical Recipes in C."

Template Parameters

T	The type of the coordinate, which must satisfy the Interpolatable concept.

Parameters

t	The interpolation factor (usually time) to determine the position.
coord	The output coordinate that will be interpolated.
coords	A vector of coordinates to interpolate between.
dd	A vector of second derivatives used in the cubic interpolation.

Exceptions

PathException

if the list of coordinates is empty.
