SurfaceCurvature Methods |
The SurfaceCurvature type exposes the following members.
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | CompareTo |
Compares the current instance with another object of the same type and returns
an integer that indicates whether the current instance precedes, follows, or
occurs in the same position in the sort order as the other object.
|
 | Create |
Create a SurfaceCurvature from explicit principal curvatures and the geometric frame at the
evaluation point. Use this when you have already computed curvature data from a non-RhinoCommon
surface representation (planes, spheres, cylinders, cones, etc.).
|
| CreateFromGaussianAndMeanCurvatures |
Create a SurfaceCurvature from a gaussian and mean curvature values using the relationship between the principal curvatures, gaussian and mean:
kappa1 = mean + sqrt(mean*mean - gaussian)
kappa2 = mean - sqrt(mean*mean - gaussian)
If the radicand is negative, we assume we're dealing with a bit of numerical noise or estimates and set the principal curvatures:
kappa1 = kappa2 = sign(mean)*sqrt(gaussian)
|
| CreateFromPrincipalCurvatures |
Create a SurfaceCurvature from the principal curvature values.
The principal curvature values are the most fundamental curvature properties
of a surface. Other curvatures are calculated from them.
|
| CreateFromSurface |
Create a SurfaceCurvature from by evaluating surface and a u,v parameter.
|
| Direction |
Gets the principal curvature direction vector at the u,v parameter where the surface curvature was evaluated..
|
| Dispose |
Actively releases the unmanaged pointer.
|
| Equals(Object) |
Indicates whether the current object is equal to another object of the same type.
(Overrides ObjectEquals(Object).) |
| Equals(SurfaceCurvature) |
Indicates whether the current object is equal to another object of the same type.
|
 | Finalize |
Passively releases the unmanaged pointer.
(Overrides ObjectFinalize.) |
| GetHashCode |
Returns a runtime-stable hash code for this object.
(Overrides ObjectGetHashCode.) |
| GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
| Kappa |
Gets the principal curvature values:
kappa1 - Principal curvature with maximum absolute value.
kappa2 - Principal curvature with minimum absolute value.
|
| KappaValue |
Calculate one of the four typical curvature values associated with the two principal
curvatures and frequently used in false color curvature analysis.
|
| MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
| OsculatingCircle |
Computes the osculating circle along the given direction.
|
| ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
