NAME

SymbSrfIsoFocalSrf()  

SYNOPSIS

symb_lib/curvatur.c:926

CagdSrfStruct *SymbSrfIsoFocalSrf(CagdSrfStruct *Srf, CagdSrfDirType Dir)
 

DESCRIPTION

Computes a focal surface for a principal curvature in an isoparametric direction. For the u isoparametric direction,


                       1               G11
 F(u, v) = n(u, v) --------- = n(u, v) ---
                     u
                    k (u, v)           L11
                     n

Because Lii also has n(u,v) we can use the nonnormalized surface normal to compute F(u, v), which is therefore computable and representable.  

PARAMETERS:

Srf: Surface to compute iso focal surface.

Dir: Direction to compute iso focal surface. Either U or V.  

FUNCTION RETURN VALUE

CagdSrfStruct *: A surface representing the iso focal surface.
