Spline

new Cesium.Spline()
Core/Spline.js 27

Creates a curve parameterized and evaluated by time. This type describes an interface and is not intended to be instantiated directly.
See:

Members

points : Array.<Cartesian3>|Array.<Quaternion>
Core/Spline.js 40

An array of control points.
Default Value: undefined

times : Array.<Number>
Core/Spline.js 33

An array of times for the control points.
Default Value: undefined

Methods

clampTime(time) → Number
Core/Spline.js 159

Clamps the given time to the period covered by the spline.
Name Type Description
time Number The time.
Returns:
The time, clamped to the animation period.

evaluate(time, result) → Cartesian3|Quaternion
Core/Spline.js 57

Evaluates the curve at a given time.
Name Type Description
time Number The time at which to evaluate the curve.
result Cartesian3 | Quaternion optional The object onto which to store the result.
Returns:
The modified result parameter or a new instance of the point on the curve at the given time.
Throws:
  • DeveloperError : time must be in the range [t0, tn], where t0 is the first element in the array times and tn is the last element in the array times.

findTimeInterval(time, startIndex) → Number
Core/Spline.js 71

Finds an index i in times such that the parameter time is in the interval [times[i], times[i + 1]].
Name Type Description
time Number The time.
startIndex Number The index from which to start the search.
Returns:
The index for the element at the start of the interval.
Throws:
  • DeveloperError : time must be in the range [t0, tn], where t0 is the first element in the array times and tn is the last element in the array times.

wrapTime(time) → Number
Core/Spline.js 131

Wraps the given time to the period covered by the spline.
Name Type Description
time Number The time.
Returns:
The time, wrapped around the animation period.
