## Detailed Description

Base class for a spline interpolation.

Spline interpolation is the process of interpolating a set of points piecewise with polynomials. The initial set of points is preserved.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ bezierControlLines()

QVector< QLineF > QwtSplineInterpolating::bezierControlLines | ( | const QPolygonF & | points | ) | const
| pure virtual

Interpolate a curve with Bezier curves.

Interpolates a polygon piecewise with cubic Bezier curves and returns the 2 control points of each curve as QLineF.

Parameters

  points | Control points

Returns
  Control points of the interpolating Bezier curves

Implemented in QwtSplineC1, QwtSplineC2, QwtSplineLocal, QwtSplinePleasing, and QwtSplineCubic.

## ◆ equidistantPolygon()

QPolygonF QwtSplineInterpolating::equidistantPolygon | ( | const QPolygonF & | points,
|  | double | distance,
|  | bool | withNodes ) const
| virtual

Find an interpolated polygon with "equidistant" points.

When withNodes is disabled all points of the resulting polygon will be equidistant according to the parametrization.

When withNodes is enabled the resulting polygon will also include the control points and the interpolated points are always aligned to the control point before ( points[i] + i * distance ).

The implementation calculates bezier curves first and calculates the interpolated points in a second run.

Parameters

  points | Control nodes of the spline
  distance | Distance between 2 points according to the parametrization
  withNodes | When true, also add the control nodes ( even if not being equidistant )

Returns
  Interpolating polygon

Reimplemented in QwtSplineC1, and QwtSplineC2.

Definition at line 863 of file qwt_spline.cpp.

## ◆ painterPath()

QPainterPath QwtSplineInterpolating::painterPath | ( | const QPolygonF & | points | ) | const
| overridevirtual

Interpolate a curve with Bezier curves.

Interpolates a polygon piecewise with cubic Bezier curves and returns them as QPainterPath.

The implementation calculates the Bezier control lines first and converts them into painter path elements in an additional loop.

Parameters

  points | Control points

Returns
  Painter path, that can be rendered by QPainter

Note
  Derived spline classes might overload painterPath() to avoid the extra loops for converting results into a QPainterPath

  bezierControlLines()

Implements QwtSpline.

Reimplemented in QwtSplineC1, QwtSplineC2, QwtSplineCubic, QwtSplineLocal, and QwtSplinePleasing.

Definition at line 748 of file qwt_spline.cpp.

## ◆ polygon()

QPolygonF QwtSplineInterpolating::polygon | ( | const QPolygonF & | points,
|  | double | tolerance ) const
| overridevirtual

Interpolate a curve by a polygon.

Interpolates a polygon piecewise with Bezier curves approximating them by polygons.

The approximation is based on "Piecewise Linear Approximation of Bézier Curves" by Roger Willcocks ( http://www.rops.org )

Parameters

  points | Control points
  tolerance | Maximum for the accepted error of the approximation

Returns
  polygon approximating the interpolating polynomials
