Create an Analytical Curve
Curves Curves Analytical Curve
In this dialog box you may specify an analytical curve by defining
the analytical functions for x(t), y(t), z(t), and the range for the parameter
t. The construction will always be performed in the currently active .
Each analytical curve will be assigned to a previously defined curve. Thus the corresponding
menu or toolbar items will only be active if at least one curve has been
defined before (:
Curves:New Curve).
Within its curve each item is identified by a unique .
The curve item can be addressed by this name for subsequent editing operations.
As soon as the curve item is defined it will appear in the
and on the
.
Name
Specify the unique
for the analytical curve.
X(t), Y(t), Z(t)
Specify a valid function
dependent on the parameter t for the defining the coordinates of the analytical
curve in global coordinates. Please note that these entries only appear
when the global coordinate system is currently active.
U(t), V(t), W(t)
Specify a valid function
dependent on the parameter t for defining the coordinates of the analytical
curve in local coordinates. Please note that these entries only appear
when a local coordinate system is currently active.
Min(t), Max(t)
Specify a valid parameter range for the parameter
t.
Curve
Select the curve to which this analytical curve
item will be assigned from the list of previously defined curves or enter
a new name.
OK
Press this button to finally create the circle.
Preview
Press this button to create a preview image
of the analytical curve. This option is very useful to check the settings
before you actually create the analytical curve.
Cancel
Closes this dialog box without performing any
further action.

Example
A parabolic curve
X: t
Y: t^2 - 4
Z: 0
Range: -3 to 3
Note: An analytical curve can only be created
when its first derivative exists in the given parameter range.
Example
Analytical curve creation
fails for the following definition because the first derivative for sqr(t)
at t=0 is not defined:
X: t
Y: sqr(t)
Z: 0
Range: 0 to 1
Use a mathematical substitution
with t = u^2:
X: u^2
Y: sqr(u^2) = u
Z: 0
Range: 0 to 1
Now, for the substituted
definition the analytical curve creation succeeds:
X: t^2
Y: t
Z: 0
Range: 0 to 1
