31 //! An algorithm to determine points at which a BSpline
32 //! curve should be split in order to obtain arcs of the same continuity.
33 //! If you require curves with a minimum continuity for
34 //! your computation, it is useful to know the points
35 //! between which an arc has a continuity of a given
36 //! order. The continuity order is given at the construction time.
37 //! For a BSpline curve, the discontinuities are
38 //! localized at the knot values. Between two knot values
39 //! the BSpline is infinitely and continuously
40 //! differentiable. At a given knot, the continuity is equal
41 //! to: Degree - Mult, where Degree is the
42 //! degree of the BSpline curve and Mult is the multiplicity of the knot.
43 //! It is possible to compute the arcs which correspond to
44 //! this splitting using the global function
45 //! SplitBSplineCurve provided by the package Geom2dConvert.
46 //! A BSplineCurveKnotSplitting object provides a framework for:
47 //! - defining the curve to be analysed and the required degree of continuity,
48 //! - implementing the computation algorithm, and
49 //! - consulting the results.

57 //! Determines points at which the BSpline curve
58 //! BasisCurve should be split in order to obtain arcs
59 //! with a degree of continuity equal to ContinuityRange.
60 //! These points are knot values of BasisCurve. They
61 //! are identified by indices in the knots table of BasisCurve.
62 //! Use the available interrogation functions to access
63 //! computed values, followed by the global function
64 //! SplitBSplineCurve (provided by the package
65 //! Geom2dConvert) to split the curve.
67 //! Standard_RangeError if ContinuityRange is less than zero.

71 //! BSpline curve should be split, in order to obtain arcs

74 //! the first and last points of the curve, which bound the
75 //! first and last arcs, are counted among these splitting points.

83 //! order and comprise the indices of the knots which
