Detailed Description

A cubic spline.

A cubic spline is a spline with C2 continuity at all control points. It is a non local spline, what means that all polynomials are changing when one control point has changed.

The implementation is based on the fact, that the continuity condition means an equation with 3 unknowns for 3 adjacent points. The equation system can be resolved by defining start/end conditions, that allow substituting of one of the unknowns for the start/end equations.

Resolving the equation system is a 2 pass algorithm, requiring more CPU costs than all other implemented type of splines.

Todo:: The implementation is not numerical stable

Member Function Documentation

QVector< QLineF > QwtSplineCubic::bezierControlLines ( const QPolygonF & points ) const

virtual

Interpolate a curve with Bezier curves.

Interpolates a polygon piecewise with cubic Bezier curves and returns the 2 control points of each curve as QLineF.

Parameters

points Control points

Returns: Control points of the interpolating Bezier curves

Note: The implementation simply calls QwtSplineC1::bezierControlLines()

Reimplemented from QwtSplineC2.

Definition at line 1155 of file qwt_spline_cubic.cpp.

QVector< double > QwtSplineCubic::curvatures ( const QPolygonF & points ) const

virtual

Find the second derivative at the control points.

Parameters

points Control nodes of the spline

Returns: Vector with the values of the 2nd derivate at the control points

See also: slopes()

Note: The x coordinates need to be increasing or decreasing

Implements QwtSplineC2.

Definition at line 1084 of file qwt_spline_cubic.cpp.

uint QwtSplineCubic::locality ( ) const

virtual

A cubic spline is non local, where changing one point has em effect on all polynomials.

Returns: 0

Reimplemented from QwtSpline.

Definition at line 995 of file qwt_spline_cubic.cpp.

QPainterPath QwtSplineCubic::painterPath ( const QPolygonF & points ) const

virtual

Interpolate a curve with Bezier curves.

Interpolates a polygon piecewise with cubic Bezier curves and returns them as QPainterPath.

Parameters

points Control points

Returns: Painter path, that can be rendered by QPainter

Note: The implementation simply calls QwtSplineC1::painterPath()

Reimplemented from QwtSplineC2.

Definition at line 1136 of file qwt_spline_cubic.cpp.

QVector< QwtSplinePolynomial > QwtSplineCubic::polynomials ( const QPolygonF & points ) const

virtual

Calculate the interpolating polynomials for a non parametric spline.

Parameters

points Control points

Returns: Interpolating polynomials

Note: The x coordinates need to be increasing or decreasing; The implementation simply calls QwtSplineC2::polynomials(), but is intended to be replaced by a one pass calculation some day.

Reimplemented from QwtSplineC2.

Definition at line 1173 of file qwt_spline_cubic.cpp.

QVector< double > QwtSplineCubic::slopes ( const QPolygonF & points ) const

virtual

Find the first derivative at the control points.

In opposite to the implementation QwtSplineC2::slopes the first derivates are calculated directly, without calculating the second derivates first.

Parameters

points Control nodes of the spline

Returns: Vector with the values of the 2nd derivate at the control points

See also: curvatures(), QwtSplinePolynomial::fromCurvatures()

Note: The x coordinates need to be increasing or decreasing

Reimplemented from QwtSplineC2.
