};

This class is a member of the Curve namespace.

This abstract class contains pure virtuals.

Inheritance

Description

This class defines an interface for surface curvature implementations. Curvature is defined as a surface curve in three dimensional space. It is mainly used by the Sys::Surface class to describe optical surface curvature.

It provides access to sagitta (z) and gradient data on any curved surface point (x, y). Ability to find point of intersection between a given 3d ray and the curve is also provided.

See also A custom surface curve model section.
