Accessors

length

get length(): number
Approximate arc length of the curve.

Computed from cached sampled lengths.

Returns number
Inherited from Curve.length
- Defined in packages/sdk/src/base/math/curves/Curve.ts:51

point

get point(): Vec3
Point on the curve at the current t.

Returns Vec3

t

get t(): number
Returns number
Inherited from Curve.t
- Defined in packages/sdk/src/base/math/curves/Curve.ts:35
set t(value: number): void
Current curve parameter.

Clamped to the range [0..1].
Parameters
- value: number
Returns void
Inherited from Curve.t
- Defined in packages/sdk/src/base/math/curves/Curve.ts:30

tangent

get tangent(): Vec3
Normalized tangent at the current t.

v0

get v0(): Vec3
Returns Vec3
- Defined in packages/sdk/src/base/math/curves/CubicBezierCurve.ts:42
set v0(value: Vec3): void
Starting point.
Parameters
- value: Vec3
Returns void
- Defined in packages/sdk/src/base/math/curves/CubicBezierCurve.ts:37

v1

Returns void
- Defined in packages/sdk/src/base/math/curves/CubicBezierCurve.ts:73

Methods

`Protected`_updateArcLengths

_updateArcLengths(): void
Invalidates cached arc-length data and rebuilds it.

Returns void
Inherited from Curve._updateArcLengths
- Defined in packages/sdk/src/base/math/curves/Curve.ts:163

getJSON

getJSON(): { t: number; v0: Vec3; v1: Vec3; v2: Vec3; v3: Vec3 }
Returns { t: number; v0: Vec3; v1: Vec3; v2: Vec3; v3: Vec3 }
- Defined in packages/sdk/src/base/math/curves/CubicBezierCurve.ts:105

getPoint

getPoint(t: number): Vec3
Returns point on this CubicBezierCurve at the given position.
Parameters
- t: number
Returns Vec3
Overrides Curve.getPoint
- Defined in packages/sdk/src/base/math/curves/CubicBezierCurve.ts:92

getPointAt

getPointAt(u: number): Vec3
Returns a point using normalized arc-length parameterization.

Unlike getPoint, u maps to distance along the curve rather than directly to the curve parameter.
Parameters
- u: number
  Normalized distance along the curve in the range [0..1]
Returns Vec3
Point on the curve
Inherited from Curve.getPointAt
- Defined in packages/sdk/src/base/math/curves/Curve.ts:97

getPoints

getPoints(divisions?: number): Vec3[]
Samples points at evenly spaced parameter intervals.
Parameters
- divisions: number = 5
  Number of intervals to divide [0..1] into
Returns Vec3[]
Sampled points, including both endpoints
Inherited from Curve.getPoints
- Defined in packages/sdk/src/base/math/curves/Curve.ts:108

getTangent

getTangent(t?: number): Vec3
Returns the normalized tangent at parameter t.

Uses a small finite difference around t.
Parameters
- Optionalt: number
  Curve parameter in the range [0..1]. Defaults to the current t.
Returns Vec3
Normalized tangent vector
Inherited from Curve.getTangent
- Defined in packages/sdk/src/base/math/curves/Curve.ts:64

getUToTMapping

getUToTMapping(u: number, distance?: number): number
Maps normalized arc-length parameter u to curve parameter t.

This is useful when you want points spaced by distance along the curve instead of by raw parameter value.
Parameters
- u: number
  Normalized distance along the curve in the range [0..1]
- Optionaldistance: number
  Absolute distance along the curve. When provided, overrides u.
Returns number
Curve parameter in the range [0..1]
Inherited from Curve.getUToTMapping
- Defined in packages/sdk/src/base/math/curves/Curve.ts:178
