TransitionSpiral3d Class

TransitionSpiral3d is a base class for multiple variants of spirals.

  • The menagerie of spiral types have 2 broad categories:
    • IntegratedSpiral3d -- a spiral whose direct function for curvature versus distance must be integrated to determine x,y
      • The IntegratedSpiral3d types are enumerated in IntegratedSpiralTypes
    • DirectSpiral3d -- a spiral implemented with direct calculation of x,y from fractional position along the spiral.
      • The direct spiral types are enumerated in the DirectSpiralType
  • The method set for CurvePrimitive support includes a handleTransitionSpiral(g: TransitionSpiral3d) which receives all the spiral types.
  • The spiral class may impose expectations that its inflection is at the origin, with tangent along the x axis.
    • This is generally necessary for direct spirals.
    • This is not necessary for integrated spirals.
