CurveLocation

Creates a new CurveLocation object.

Parameters:

• curve: Curve
• time: Number
• point: Point — optional

Returns:

• CurveLocation

The segment of the curve which is closer to the described location.

Read only.

Type:

• Segment

The curve that this location belongs to.

Read only.

Type:

• Curve

The path that this locations is situated on.

Read only.

Type:

• Path

The index of the curve within the path.curves list, if it is part of a Path item.

Read only.

Type:

• Number

The curve-time parameter, as used by various bezier curve calculations. It is value between 0 (beginning of the curve) and 1 (end of the curve).

Read only.

Type:

• Number

The point which is defined by the curve and time.

Read only.

Type:

• Point

The length of the path from its beginning up to the location described by this object. If the curve is not part of a path, then the length within the curve is returned instead.

Read only.

Type:

• Number

The length of the curve from its beginning up to the location described by this object.

Read only.

Type:

• Number

The curve location on the intersecting curve, if this location is the result of a call to pathItem.getIntersections(path) / curve.getIntersections(curve).

Read only.

Type:

• CurveLocation

The tangential vector to the curve at the given location.

Read only.

Type:

• Point

The normal vector to the curve at the given location.

Read only.

Type:

• Point

The curvature of the curve at the given location.

Read only.

Type:

• Number

The distance from the queried point to the returned location.

Read only.

Type:

• Number

• curve.getNearestLocation(point)
• pathItem.getNearestLocation(point)

Checks whether tow CurveLocation objects are describing the same location on a path, by applying the same tolerances as elsewhere when dealing with curve-time parameters.

Parameters:

• location: CurveLocation

Returns:

• Boolean — true if the locations are equal, false otherwise

Returns:

• String — a string representation of the curve location

Checks if the location is an intersection with another curve and is merely touching the other curve, as opposed to crossing it.

Returns:

• Boolean — true if the location is an intersection that is merely touching another curve, false otherwise

See also:

• isCrossing()

Checks if the location is an intersection with another curve and is crossing the other curve, as opposed to just touching it.

Returns:

• Boolean — true if the location is an intersection that is crossing another curve, false otherwise

See also:

• isTouching()

Checks if the location is an intersection with another curve and is part of an overlap between the two involved paths.

Returns:

• Boolean — true if the location is an intersection that is part of an overlap between the two involved paths, false otherwise
