ecl_geometry Documentation

ecl_geometry

Any tools relating to mathematical geometry. Primarily featuring polynomials and interpolations.

Embedded Control Library

    This group includes various structures and tools used in geometry
    as well as various supporting classes and utilities.

External Components

There are quite a few useful tools also in eigen's geometry module. You can get access to these
via the ecl_linear_algebra module.

    - angle-axis pairs
    - quaternions
    - rotation matrices
    - transforms

Compiling & Linking

    Include the following at the top of any translation unit which
    requires this library:
#include <ecl/geometry.hpp>
// Angles
using ecl::Angle;
// Other Objects
// Functions that act on functions
// Functions
using ecl::Polynomial; // Also has some typedefs, LinearFunction, CubicPolynomial, QuadraticPoly...
// Splines
// Transforms

You will also need to link to -lecl_geometry.

Usage

Refer to the class api/guide for each component.

    - @ref anglesGuide "Angles" - c++ style wrapper for angles (radians) and unit conversions (deg<->rad).
    - @ref ecl::CartesianPoint "Cartesian Points" - generic and specialised representations for cartesian points.
    - @ref ecl::Pose2D "Pose2D" - extends eigen's geometry transforms with a 2d specialised version.
    - @ref polynomialsGeometry "Polynomials" - polynomial functions and two-point interpolations.
    - @ref splinesGeometry "Splines" - generating various splines and interpolating over a set of data.
