Synopsis
PDX_BOOL igeo_TestCurveContinuity(long option, double *cont_toler, int test_deriv, double (*deriv_rght)[3], double (*deriv_left)[3])
Purpose
Test the curve derivative for continuity
Description
Compares the curve derivatives for continuity. The derivatives are assumed to have been evaluated from the left and the right. For the IGEO_GTEST option and test_deriv == 2, the first and second derivatives must be set for the right and left derivative values.
Input
option
IGEO_GTEST
Test for G continuity up to test_deriv of 2
cont_toler
The curve 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
test_deriv
The curve degree of the derivatives being tested for continuity
deriv_rght
The derivative(s) calculated from the right
deriv_left
The derivative(s) calculated from the left
Tolerances
ZERO_TOL NORMAL_MAG_TOL
Return
PDX_TRUE - The derivatives are continuous within cont_toler
PDX_FALSE - The derivatives are not continuous within cont_toler
