gce_MakeParab Class Reference

This class implements the following algorithms used to
create Parab from gp.
Defines the parabola in the parameterization range :
]-infinite, +infinite[
The vertex of the parabola is the "Location" point of the
local coordinate system (axis placement) of the parabola.

The "XDirection" and the "YDirection" of this system define
the plane of the parabola.

The "XAxis" of the parabola ("Location", "XDirection") is
the axis of symmetry of the parabola. The Xaxis is oriented
from the vertex of the parabola to the Focus of the parabola.

The "YAxis" of the parabola ("Location", "YDirection") is
parallel to the directrix of the parabola.

The equation of the parabola in the local coordinates system is
Y**2 = (2*P) * X
P is the distance between the focus and the directrix of the
parabola (called Parameter).
The focal length F = P/2 is the distance between the vertex
and the focus of the parabola.

* Creates a parabola with its local coordinate system "A2"
and it's focal length "Focal".
* Create a parabola with its directrix and its focus point.

 gce_MakeParab (const gp_Ax1 &D, const gp_Pnt &F)
 D is the directrix of the parabola and F the focus point.
The symmetry axis (XAxis) of the parabola is normal to the
directrix and pass through the focus point F, but its
location point is the vertex of the parabola.
The YAxis of the parabola is parallel to D and its location
point is the vertex of the parabola. The normal to the plane
of the parabola is the cross product between the XAxis and the
YAxis.

const gp_ParabValue () const
 Returns the constructed parabola.
Exceptions StdFail_NotDone if no parabola is constructed.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

gce_MakeParab::gce_MakeParab ( const gp_Ax2 A2,
const Standard_Real  Focal 
)

--- Purpose ;
Creates a parabola with its local coordinate system "A2"
and it's focal length "Focal".
The XDirection of A2 defines the axis of symmetry of the
parabola. The YDirection of A2 is parallel to the directrix
of the parabola. The Location point of A2 is the vertex of
the parabola
The status is "NullFocusLength" if Focal < 0.0
