Detailed Description

Function Documentation

virtual double KDL::Path::LengthToS ( double  length )

pure virtual

LengthToS() converts a physical length along the trajectory to the parameter s used in Pos, Vel and Acc. This is used because in cases with large rotations the parameter s does NOT correspond to the lineair length along the trajectory. User should be sure that the lineair distance travelled by this path object is NOT zero, when using this method ! (e.g. the case of only rotational change) throws Error_MotionPlanning_Not_Applicable if used on composed path objects.

Implemented in KDL::Path_RoundedComposite, KDL::Path_Line, KDL::Path_Circle, KDL::Path_Composite, KDL::Path_Point, and KDL::Path_Cyclic_Closed.
