Synopsis
PDX_MSGT gdx_CubicSplineCurvWithEndDers(long option, int model, MTH_3DPNT *fit_pts, long npts, double **parms, int p_flag, double str_der[3], double end_der[3], double toler, MDA_PTR *gdx_db_ptr)
Purpose
Create a GDX NURB Curve by cubic spline interpolation.
Description
This routine does a cubic spline curve interpolation to point data and end derivatives. If option is set to GDX_UNNORM, parameter values, if generated, will not be normalized. Note that this affects the shape as the second and second from last control points are calculated using end derivative information (calculation involves first and last paramter "deltas").
Input
option
GDX_LEAVE_LOCKED
If set, the returned entity will be left locked; in this case it is up to the caller to unlock the entity via mda_UnlockEntity. Note: the entity structure can be accessed via mda_GetLockedAddr.
GDX_UNNORM
If set, parameter values generatred using a relative chord length method will not be normalized.
model
Model in which to create the GDX NURBS Curve.
fit_pts
Data points to be fitted.
npts
Number of points to be fitted.
parms
The parameter values at which the data points are assumed (see p_flag).
p_flag
1
The parameter values are in parms.
str_der
Start derivative vector.
end_der
End derivative vector.
toler
Curve closure and coincident points tolerance.
Output
parms
(if p_flag == 0).
gdx_db_ptr
The GDX NURB Curve fitted to the data.
Return
GDX_NOERR
GDX_BADDATA (npts < 2)
GDX_SINGULAREQS (singular system of equations)
GDX_COINPNTS (coincident data points)
Low level error return
