Detailed Description

Function Documentation

ConvertXSecToEdit()

void vsp::ConvertXSecToEdit	(	const std::string &	geom_id,
		const int &	indx = 0
	)

Convert any XSec type into an EditCurveXSec. This function will work for BOR Geoms, in which case the input XSec index is ignored.

// Add Stack
string sid = AddGeom( "STACK", "" );
 
// Get First (and Only) XSec Surf
string xsec_surf = GetXSecSurf( sid, 0 );
 
ChangeXSecShape( xsec_surf, 1, XS_ROUNDED_RECTANGLE );
 
// Convert Rounded Rectangle to Edit Curve type XSec
ConvertXSecToEdit( sid, 1 );
 
// Identify XSec 1
string xsec_1 = GetXSec( xsec_surf, 1 );
 
// Get the control points for the default shape
array < vec3d > xsec1_pts = GetEditXSecCtrlVec( xsec_1, true ); // The returned control points will not be scaled by width and height

Parameters

[in]	geom_id	string Geom ID
[in]	indx	XSec index

EditXSecConvertTo()

void vsp::EditXSecConvertTo	(	const std::string &	xsec_id,
		const int &	newtype
	)

Convert the EditCurveXSec curve type to the specified new type. Note, EditCurveXSec uses the same enumerations for PCurve to identify curve type, but APPROX_CEDIT is not supported at this time.

// Add Stack
string sid = AddGeom( "STACK", "" );
 
// Get First (and Only) XSec Surf
string xsec_surf = GetXSecSurf( sid, 0 );
 
ChangeXSecShape( xsec_surf, 1, XS_EDIT_CURVE );
 
// Identify XSec 1
string xsec_1 = GetXSec( xsec_surf, 1 );
 
// Set XSec 1 to Linear
EditXSecConvertTo( xsec_1, LINEAR );

Parameters

[in]	xsec_id	XSec ID
[in]	newtype	New curve type enum (i.e. CEDIT)

EditXSecDelPnt()

void vsp::EditXSecDelPnt	(	const std::string &	xsec_id,
		const int &	indx
	)

Delete an EditCurveXSec control point. Note, cubic Bezier intermediate control points (those not on the curve) cannot be deleted. The previous and next Bezier control point will be deleted along with the point on the curve. Regardless of curve type, the first and last points may not be deleted.

// Add Stack
string sid = AddGeom( "STACK", "" );
 
// Get First (and Only) XSec Surf
string xsec_surf = GetXSecSurf( sid, 0 );
 
ChangeXSecShape( xsec_surf, 2, XS_EDIT_CURVE );
 
// Identify XSec 2
string xsec_2 = GetXSec( xsec_surf, 2 );
 
// Turn off R/L symmetry
SetParmVal( GetXSecParm( xsec_2, "SymType"), SYM_NONE );
 
array < vec3d > old_pnts = GetEditXSecCtrlVec( xsec_2, true ); // The returned control points will not be scaled by width and height
 
EditXSecDelPnt( xsec_2, 3 ); // Remove control point at bottom of circle
 
array < vec3d > new_pnts = GetEditXSecCtrlVec( xsec_2, true ); // The returned control points will not be scaled by width and height
 
if ( old_pnts.size() - new_pnts.size() != 3  )
{
    Print( "Error: EditXSecDelPnt");
}

Parameters

EditXSecInitShape()

void vsp::EditXSecInitShape

(

const std::string &

xsec_id

Initialize the EditCurveXSec to the current value of m_ShapeType (i.e. EDIT_XSEC_ELLIPSE)

// Add Stack
string sid = AddGeom( "STACK", "" );
 
// Get First (and Only) XSec Surf
string xsec_surf = GetXSecSurf( sid, 0 );
 
ChangeXSecShape( xsec_surf, 2, XS_EDIT_CURVE );
 
// Identify XSec 2
string xsec_2 = GetXSec( xsec_surf, 2 );
 
// Set XSec 2 to linear
EditXSecConvertTo( xsec_2, LINEAR );
 
EditXSecInitShape( xsec_2 ); // Change back to default ellipse

std::vector< bool > vsp::GetEditXSecFixedUVec

(

const std::string &

GetEditXSecUVec()

std::vector< double > vsp::GetEditXSecUVec

(

const std::string &

xsec_id

)

MoveEditXSecPnt()

void vsp::MoveEditXSecPnt	(	const std::string &	xsec_id,
		const int &	indx,
		const vec3d &	new_pnt
	)

Move an EditCurveXSec control point. The XSec points are nondimensionalized by m_Width and m_Height and defined in 2D, so the Z value of the new coordinate point will be ignored.

// Add Stack
string sid = AddGeom( "STACK", "" );
 
// Get First (and Only) XSec Surf
string xsec_surf = GetXSecSurf( sid, 0 );
 
ChangeXSecShape( xsec_surf, 1, XS_EDIT_CURVE );
 
// Identify XSec 1
string xsec_1 = GetXSec( xsec_surf, 1 );
 
// Turn off R/L symmetry
SetParmVal( GetXSecParm( xsec_1, "SymType"), SYM_NONE );
 
// Get the control points for the default shape
array < vec3d > xsec1_pts = GetEditXSecCtrlVec( xsec_1, true ); // The returned control points will not be scaled by width and height
 
// Identify a control point that lies on the curve and shift it in Y
int move_pnt_ind = 3;
 
vec3d new_pnt = vec3d( xsec1_pts[move_pnt_ind].x(), 2 * xsec1_pts[move_pnt_ind].y(), 0.0 );
 
// Move the control point
MoveEditXSecPnt( xsec_1, move_pnt_ind, new_pnt );
 
array < vec3d > new_pnts = GetEditXSecCtrlVec( xsec_1, true ); // The returned control points will not be scaled by width and height

ReparameterizeEditXSec()

void vsp::ReparameterizeEditXSec

(

const std::string &

xsec_id

)

Perform an equal arc length repareterization on an EditCurveXSec. The reparameterization is performed between specific U values if the Fixed U flag is true. This allows corners, such as at 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 U, to be held constant while everything between them is reparameterized.

// Add Wing
string wid = AddGeom( "WING" );
 
// Get First (and Only) XSec Surf
string xsec_surf = GetXSecSurf( wid, 0 );
 
ChangeXSecShape( xsec_surf, 1, XS_EDIT_CURVE );
 
// Identify XSec 1
string xsec_1 = GetXSec( xsec_surf, 1 );
 
array < bool > @ fixed_u_vec = GetEditXSecFixedUVec( xsec_1 );
 
fixed_u_vec[3] = true; // change a flag
 
SetEditXSecFixedUVec( xsec_1, fixed_u_vec );
 
ReparameterizeEditXSec( xsec_1 );

	)

Set the vector of fixed U flags for each control point in an EditCurveXSec. The fixed U flag is used to hold the U parameter of the control point constant when performing an equal arc length reparameterization of the curve.
