QuadraticSpline2d.evaluate spline t

is equivalent to

A spline that has been parameterized by arc length.

Build an arc length parameterization of the given spline, within a given tolerance. Generally speaking, all operations on the resulting ArcLengthParameterized value will be accurate to within the given arc length tolerance.

tolerance =
    1.0e-4


parameterizedSpline =
    QuadraticSpline2d.arcLengthParameterized
        tolerance
        exampleSpline

Find the total arc length of a spline. This will be accurate to within the tolerance given when calling arcLengthParameterized.

arcLength : Float
arcLength =
    QuadraticSpline2d.arcLength parameterizedSpline


arcLength
--> 5.1986

Try to get the point along a spline at a given arc length. For example, to get the point a quarter of the way along exampleSpline:

QuadraticSpline2d.pointAlong parameterizedSpline
    (arcLength / 4)
--> Just (Point2d.fromCoordinates ( 1.8350, 1.9911 ))

Note that this is not the same as evaulating at a parameter value of 1/4:

QuadraticSpline2d.pointOn exampleSpline 0.25
--> Point2d.fromCoordinates ( 2, 2.125 )

If the given arc length is less than zero or greater than the arc length of the spline, Nothing is returned.

Try to get the tangent direction along a spline at a given arc length. To get the tangent direction a quarter of the way along exampleSpline:

QuadraticSpline2d.tangentAlong parameterizedSpline
    (arcLength / 4)
--> Just (Direction2d.fromAngle (degrees 41.145))

If the given arc length is less than zero or greater than the arc length of the spline (or if the derivative of the spline happens to be exactly zero at the given arc length), Nothing is returned.

Try to get the parameter value along a spline at a given arc length. If the given arc length is less than zero or greater than the arc length of the spline, returns Nothing.

Find the magnitude of the derivative to a spline at a particular parameter value;

QuadraticSpline2d.derivativeMagnitude spline t

is equivalent to

Vector2d.length (QuadraticSpline2d.derivative spline t)

but more efficient since it avoids any intermediate Vector2d allocation.

Get the second derivative of a spline (for a quadratic spline, this is a constant).
