Class: TGHermiteSpline

Declaration: Curve.h

Taxonomy Categories:

Member Functions:

Interface Category:

API.

Inherits From:

TGCurve

Inherited By:

None.

Purpose:

TGHermiteSpline is one of several lightweight classes derived from TGCurve whose sole purpose is to disambiguate the constructors for cubic splines having similar arguments. Applications shouldn't define variables of type TGHermiteSpline. Instead, use TGCurve and rely on TGHermiteSpline only for its constructor. For example: TGCurve myCurve =TGHermiteSpline( points ); This creates a curve as a cubic matrix spline, where the curve is defined by point/tangent pairs.

Instantiation:

Allocate on the heap or the stack.

Deriving Classes:

Do not derive from this class.

Concurrency:

Not multithread safe.

Resource Use:

No special requirements.

Member Function: TGHermiteSpline::TGHermiteSpline
