Synopsis
PDX_MSGT igeo_Get106Continuity(long option, MDA_PTR db_ptr, double *cont_toler, int *continuity)
Purpose
Get the IGES copious data (106) continuity.
Description
Determines the minimum continuity between all the segments in the IGES copious data entity to within the cont_toler tolerance. The continuity value can vary from -1 for discontinuous to a maximium of 1. The IGES copious data curve must be a valid IGES definition.
Input
option
IGEO_GTEST
Test for G continuity for derivatives to 1
db_ptr
The IGES 106 entity database pointer.
cont_toler
The continuity tolerance. The distance between the derivatives must be less then or equal this value to have derivative continuity .nf [0] = Model Space Distance (G0) [1] = Radian angular difference (G1) [2] = Curvature difference (G2) [3] = Normalized derivative difference .fi
Output
continuity
The level of continuity (-1 to 1).
Return
IGEO_NOERR
Low level error return
