ProxyCurve Class

A ProxyCurve is expected to be used as a base class for curve types that use some existing curve (the proxy) for evaluation and display but carry other defining data.

  • The ProxyCurve implements all required CurvePrimitive methods by dispatching to the proxy.
  • These methods presumably require support from the application class and are left abstract:
    • clone
    • clonePartialCurve
    • cloneTransformed
    • curvePrimitiveType
    • isSameCurvePrimitiveType
    • isSameGeometryClass
    • tryTransformInPlace
    • reverseInPlace
