Detailed Description

Base class for a spline interpolation.

Spline interpolation is the process of interpolating a set of points piecewise with polynomials. The initial set of points is preserved.

◆ bezierControlLines()

QVector< QLineF > QwtSplineInterpolating::bezierControlLines ( const QPolygonF & points ) const

pure virtual

Interpolate a curve with Bezier curves.

Interpolates a polygon piecewise with cubic Bezier curves and returns the 2 control points of each curve as QLineF.

Parameters

points Control points

Returns: Control points of the interpolating Bezier curves

Implemented in QwtSplineCubic, QwtSplinePleasing, QwtSplineLocal, QwtSplineC2, and QwtSplineC1.

◆ equidistantPolygon()

QPolygonF QwtSplineInterpolating::equidistantPolygon	(	const QPolygonF &	points,
		double	distance,
		bool	withNodes
	)		const

virtual

Find an interpolated polygon with "equidistant" points.

When withNodes is disabled all points of the resulting polygon will be equidistant according to the parametrization.

When withNodes is enabled the resulting polygon will also include the control points and the interpolated points are always aligned to the control point before ( points[i] + i * distance ).

The implementation calculates bezier curves first and calculates the interpolated points in a second run.

Parameters

points	Control nodes of the spline
distance	Distance between 2 points according to the parametrization
withNodes	When true, also add the control nodes ( even if not being equidistant )

Returns: Interpolating polygon

See also: bezierControlLines()

Reimplemented in QwtSplineC2, and QwtSplineC1.

Definition at line 863 of file qwt_spline.cpp.

◆ painterPath()

QPainterPath QwtSplineInterpolating::painterPath ( const QPolygonF & points ) const

overridevirtual

Interpolate a curve with Bezier curves.

Interpolates a polygon piecewise with cubic Bezier curves and returns them as QPainterPath.

The implementation calculates the Bezier control lines first and converts them into painter path elements in an additional loop.

Parameters

points Control points

Returns: Painter path, that can be rendered by QPainter

Note: Derived spline classes might overload painterPath() to avoid the extra loops for converting results into a QPainterPath

See also: bezierControlLines()

Implements QwtSpline.

Reimplemented in QwtSplinePleasing, QwtSplineLocal, QwtSplineCubic, QwtSplineC2, and QwtSplineC1.

Definition at line 748 of file qwt_spline.cpp.

◆ polygon()

QPolygonF QwtSplineInterpolating::polygon	(	const QPolygonF &	points,
		double	tolerance
	)		const

overridevirtual

Interpolate a curve by a polygon.

Interpolates a polygon piecewise with Bezier curves approximating them by polygons.

The approximation is based on "Piecewise Linear Approximation of Bézier Curves" by Roger Willcocks ( http://www.rops.org )

Parameters

points	Control points
tolerance	Maximum for the accepted error of the approximation

Returns: polygon approximating the interpolating polynomials
