getSize(...)
This method returns a Float indicating the length of the edge.
Required arguments
None.
Optional arguments
- printResults
A Bool specifying whether verbose output is printed. The default is True.
Return value
A Float.
Exceptions
None.
getRadius()
This method returns the radius of a circular IgnoredEdge object.
Arguments
None.
Return value
A Float specifying the radius.
Exceptions
The given IgnoredEdge object is not circular.
getCurvature(...)
This method returns curvature information at a location on the IgnoredEdge object.
Required arguments
- parameter
A Float specifying the normalized parameter location on the IgnoredEdge where the curvature is to be computed. This argument is mutually exclusive with the argument point.
- point
A tuple of X-, Y-, and Z-coordinates of a point at which the curvature is to be computed. If point does not lie on the IgnoredEdge an attempt is made to project it onto the IgnoredEdge and use the projected point.
Optional arguments
None.
Return value
A dictionary with keys 'evaluationPoint', 'curvature', 'radius', 'tangent'. Where 'evaluationPoint' specifies the location at which the curvature was computed. 'curvature' specifies the curvature vector at that location. 'radius' is the Radius of curvature and 'tangent' specifies the tangent to the IgnoredEdge at that location.
Exceptions
The given IgnoredEdge is straight.
Members
The IgnoredEdge object has the following members:
- index
An Int specifying the index of the IgnoredEdge in the IgnoredEdgeArray.
- pointOn
A tuple of Floats specifying the X-, Y-, and Z-coordinates of a point located on the edge.
