KBCubicSplineCurve()

KBCubicSplineCurve

KBCubicSplineCurve(KBKeyFrame[] keys)

This method takes a list of key frames and creates spline segments from it. It requires at least four key frames to be passed to it. Given n key frames, it creates n-3 KBCubicSplineSegments.

Parameters:

the - list of key frames that specify the motion path

KBCubicSplineCurve

KBCubicSplineCurve(KBCubicSplineSegment[] s)

This method takes a list of spline segments creates the KBCubicSplineCurve.

Parameters:

the - list of segments that comprise the complete motion path

Method Detail

setSegments

public void setSegments(KBCubicSplineSegment[] s)

This method takes a list of spline segments to replace the existing set of KBCubicSplineSegments that comprise the current KBCubicSplineCurve motion path.

Parameters:

s - the list of segments that comprise the complete motion path

getSegment

public KBCubicSplineSegment getSegment(int index)

This method returns the KBCubicSplineSegments pointed to by index

Parameters:

index - the index of the KBCubicSplineSegment required

Returns:

the KBCubicSplineSegment pointed to by index

computeTotalCurveLength

private void computeTotalCurveLength()

getTotalCurveLength

public float getTotalCurveLength()

This method returns the total length of the entire KBCubicSplineCurve motion path.

Returns:

the length of the KBCubicSplineCurve motion path
