Detailed Description

This class encapsulates a serial kinematic interconnection structure. It is build out of segments.

Definition at line 35 of file chain.hpp.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

The constructor of a chain, a new chain is always empty.

Member Function Documentation

void KDL::Chain::addChain ( const Chain chain)

Adds a complete chain to the end of the chain The added chain is copied.

Parameters:
chainThe chain to add

Definition at line 60 of file chain.cpp.

void KDL::Chain::addSegment ( const Segment segment)

Adds a new segment to the end of the chain.

Parameters:
segmentThe segment to add

Definition at line 52 of file chain.cpp.

unsigned int KDL::Chain::getNrOfJoints ( ) const [inline]

Request the total number of joints in the chain.
Important: It is not the same as the total number of segments since a segment does not need to have a joint. This function is important when creating a KDL::JntArray to use with this chain.

Returns:
total nr of joints

Definition at line 71 of file chain.hpp.

unsigned int KDL::Chain::getNrOfSegments ( ) const [inline]

Request the total number of segments in the chain.

Returns:
total number of segments

Definition at line 76 of file chain.hpp.

const Segment & KDL::Chain::getSegment ( unsigned int  nr) const

Request the nr'd segment of the chain. There is no boundary checking.

Parameters:
nrthe nr of the segment starting from 0
Returns:
a constant reference to the nr'd segment

Definition at line 66 of file chain.cpp.

Chain & KDL::Chain::operator= ( const Chain arg)

Definition at line 41 of file chain.cpp.
