Detailed Description

A spline with C1 continuity.

QwtSplineLocal offers several standard algorithms for interpolating a curve with polynomials having C1 continuity at the control points. All algorithms are local in a sense, that changing one control point only few polynomials.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Type

Spline interpolation type.

All type of spline interpolations are lightweight algorithms calculating the slopes at a point by looking 1 or 2 points back and ahead.

Enumerator
Cardinal 

A cardinal spline

The cardinal spline interpolation is a very cheap calculation with a locality of 1.

ParabolicBlending 

Parabolic blending is a cheap calculation with a locality of 1. Sometimes it is also called Cubic Bessel interpolation.

Akima 

The algorithm of H.Akima is a calculation with a locality of 2.

PChip 

Piecewise Cubic Hermite Interpolating Polynomial (PCHIP) is an algorithm that is popular because of being offered by MATLAB.

It preserves the shape of the data and respects monotonicity. It has a locality of 1.

Member Function Documentation

◆ bezierControlLines()

QVector< QLineF > QwtSplineLocal::bezierControlLines ( const QPolygonF &  points) const
overridevirtual

Get Bezier control lines.

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
pointsControl points
Returns
Control points of the interpolating Bezier curves

Reimplemented from QwtSplineC1.

◆ locality()

uint QwtSplineLocal::locality ( ) const
overridevirtual

Get locality (number of points used for calculation)

Get the locality of the spline interpolation.

The locality of an spline interpolation identifies how many adjacent polynomials are affected, when changing the position of one point.

The Cardinal, ParabolicBlending and PChip algorithms have a locality of 1, while the Akima interpolation has a locality of 2.

Returns
1 or 2.

Reimplemented from QwtSpline.

◆ painterPath()

QPainterPath QwtSplineLocal::painterPath ( const QPolygonF &  points) const
overridevirtual

Get painter path from polygon.

Interpolate a curve with Bezier curves.

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

Parameters
pointsControl points
Returns
Painter path, that can be rendered by QPainter

Reimplemented from QwtSplineC1.

◆ polynomials()

QVector< QwtSplinePolynomial > QwtSplineLocal::polynomials ( const QPolygonF &  points) const
overridevirtual

Get polynomials from polygon.

Calculate the interpolating polynomials for a non parametric spline.

Parameters
pointsControl points
Returns
Interpolating polynomials
Note
The x coordinates need to be increasing or decreasing
The implementation simply calls QwtSplineC1::polynomials(), but is intended to be replaced by a one pass calculation some day.

Reimplemented from QwtSplineC1.

◆ slopes()

QVector< double > QwtSplineLocal::slopes ( const QPolygonF &  points) const
overridevirtual

Get slopes at control points.

Find the first derivative at the control points.

Parameters
pointsControl nodes of the spline
Returns
Vector with the values of the 2nd derivate at the control points
Note
The x coordinates need to be increasing or decreasing

Implements QwtSplineC1.

◆ type()

QwtSplineLocal::Type QwtSplineLocal::type ( ) const

Get spline type.

Returns
Spline type, specifying the type of interpolation
