Struct BezierKnot

This struct contains position and tangent data for a knot. The position is a scalar point and the tangents are vectors. The Spline class stores a collection of BezierKnot that form a series of connected BezierCurve. Each knot contains a Position, Tangent In, and Tangent Out. When a spline is not closed, the first and last knots will contain an extraneous tangent (in and out, respectively).

Syntax

[Serializable]
public struct BezierKnot : ISerializationCallbackReceiver, IEquatable<BezierKnot>

Constructors

BezierKnot(float3)

Create a new BezierKnot struct.

Declaration

public BezierKnot(float3 position)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
float3	position	The position of the knot relative to the spline.

BezierKnot(float3, float3, float3)

Creates a new BezierKnot struct.

Declaration

public BezierKnot(float3 position, float3 tangentIn, float3 tangentOut)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
float3	position	The position of the knot relative to the spline.
float3	tangentIn	The leading tangent to this knot.
float3	tangentOut	The following tangent to this knot.

BezierKnot(float3, float3, float3, quaternion)

Create a new BezierKnot struct.

Declaration

public BezierKnot(float3 position, float3 tangentIn, float3 tangentOut, quaternion rotation)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
float3	position	The position of the knot relative to the spline.
float3	tangentIn	The leading tangent to this knot.
float3	tangentOut	The following tangent to this knot.
quaternion	rotation	The rotation of the knot relative to the spline.

Fields

Position

The position of the knot. On a cubic Bezier curve, this is equivalent to P0 or P3, depending on whether this knot is forming the first or second control point of the curve.

Declaration

public float3 Position

Field Value

Type	Description
float3

Rotation

Rotation of the knot.

Declaration

public quaternion Rotation

Field Value

Type	Description
quaternion

TangentIn

The tangent vector that leads into this knot. On a cubic Bezier curve, this value is used to calculate P2 when used as the second knot in a curve.

Declaration

public float3 TangentIn

Field Value

Type	Description
float3

TangentOut

The tangent vector that follows this knot. On a cubic Bezier curve, this value is used to calculate P1 when used as the first knot in a curve.

Declaration

public float3 TangentOut

Field Value

Type	Description
float3

Methods

Equals(object)

Compare against an object for equality.

Declaration

public override bool Equals(object obj)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
object	obj	The object to compare against.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	Returns true when obj is a BezierKnot and the values of each knot are identical.

Overrides

ValueType.Equals(object)

Equals(BezierKnot)

Compare two knots for equality.

Declaration

public bool Equals(BezierKnot other)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
BezierKnot	other	The knot to compare against.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	Returns true when the position, tangents, and rotation of each knot are identical.

GetHashCode()

Calculate a hash code for this knot.

Declaration

public override int GetHashCode()

Returns

Type	Description
int	A hash code for the knot.

Overrides

ValueType.GetHashCode()

OnAfterDeserialize()

See ISerializationCallbackReceiver.

Declaration

public void OnAfterDeserialize()

OnBeforeSerialize()

See ISerializationCallbackReceiver.

Declaration

public void OnBeforeSerialize()

ToString()

Create a string with the values of this knot.

Declaration

public override string ToString()

Returns

Type	Description
string	A summary of the values contained by this knot.

Overrides

ValueType.ToString()

Transform(float4x4)

Multiply the position and tangents by a matrix.

Declaration

public BezierKnot Transform(float4x4 matrix)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
float4x4	matrix	The matrix to multiply.

Returns

Type	Description
BezierKnot	A new BezierKnot multiplied by matrix.

Operators

operator +(BezierKnot, float3)

Knot position addition. This operation only applies to the position, tangents and rotation are unmodified.

Declaration

public static BezierKnot operator +(BezierKnot knot, float3 rhs)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
BezierKnot	knot	The target knot.
float3	rhs	The value to add.

Returns

Type	Description
BezierKnot	A new BezierKnot where position is the sum of knot.position and rhs.

operator -(BezierKnot, float3)

Knot position subtraction. This operation only applies to the position, tangents and rotation are unmodified.

Declaration

public static BezierKnot operator -(BezierKnot knot, float3 rhs)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
BezierKnot	knot	The target knot.
float3	rhs	The value to subtract.

Returns

Type	Description
BezierKnot	A new BezierKnot where position is the sum of knot.position minus rhs.
