Points on Curves

The Making Points on Curves component comprises high level functions providing an Application Programming Interface for complex algorithms that compute points on a 2D or 3D curve. The functions use various different methods.

The algorithms result in the following:

- a point on a curve, situated at a given curvilinear distance from another point on the curve

- a distribution of points situated at constant curvilinear intervals along a curve

- a distribution of points at a constant rise (i.e. respecting a criterion of maximum rise between the curve and the polygon that results from the computed points) along a curve

- the length of a curve.
