Class CubicSplineSegment
java.lang.Object
com.sun.j3d.utils.behaviors.interpolators.CubicSplineSegment
The CubicSplineSegment class creates the representation of a
TCB (Kochanek-Bartels Spline). This class takes 4 key frames as
its input (using TCBKeyFrame). If interpolating between the ith
and (i+1)th key frame then the four key frames that need to
be specified are the (i-1)th, ith, (i+1)th
and (i+2)th keyframes in order. The CubicSegmentClass
then pre-computes the hermite interpolation basis coefficients if the
(i+1)th frame has the linear flag set to zero. These are used to
calculate the interpolated position, scale and quaternions when they
requested by the user using the getInterpolated* methods. If the the
(i+1)th frame's linear flag is set to 1 then the class uses
linear interpolation to calculate the interpolated position, sccale and
quaternions it returns through the getInterpolated* methods.

Method Details
-
computeLength
public float computeLength(float u) Computes the length of the curve at a given point between key frames.- Parameters:
u
- specifies the point between keyframes where 0 <= u <= 1.
-
getInterpolatedQuaternion
public void getInterpolatedQuaternion(float u, javax.vecmath.Quat4f newQuat) Computes the interpolated quaternion along the curve at a given point between key frames. This routine uses linear interpolation if the (i+1)th key frame's linear value is equal to 1.- Parameters:
u
- specifies the point between keyframes where 0 <= u <= 1.newQuat
- returns the value of the interpolated quaternion
-
getInterpolatedScale
public void getInterpolatedScale(float u, javax.vecmath.Point3f newScale) Computes the interpolated scale along the curve at a given point between key frames and returns a Point3f with the interpolated x, y, and z scale components. This routine uses linear interpolation if the (i+1)th key frame's linear value is equal to 1.- Parameters:
u
- specifies the point between keyframes where 0 <= u <= 1.newScale
- returns the interpolated x,y,z scale value in a Point3f
-
getInterpolatedPosition
public void getInterpolatedPosition(float u, javax.vecmath.Point3f newPos) Computes the interpolated position along the curve at a given point between key frames and returns a Point3f with the interpolated x, y, and z scale components. This routine uses linear interpolation if the (i+1)th key frame's linear value is equal to 1.- Parameters:
u
- specifies the point between keyframes where 0 <= u <= 1.newPos
- returns the interpolated x,y,z position in a Point3f
-
getInterpolatedPositionVector
public void getInterpolatedPositionVector(float u, javax.vecmath.Vector3f newPos) Computes the interpolated position along the curve at a given point between key frames and returns a Vector3f with the interpolated x, y, and z scale components. This routine uses linear interpolation if the (i+1)th key frame's linear value is equal to 1.- Parameters:
u
- specifies the point between keyframes where 0 <= u <= 1.newPos
- returns the interpolated x,y,z position in a Vector3f.
-
getInterpolatedValue
public float getInterpolatedValue(float u) Computes the ratio of the length of the spline from the ith key frame to the position specified by u to the length of the entire spline segment from the ith key frame to the (i+1) th key frame. When the (i+1)th key frame's linear value is equal to 1, this is meaninful otherwise it should return u.- Parameters:
u
- specifies the point between keyframes where 0 <= u <= 1.- Returns:
- the interpolated ratio
