Detailed Description

template<unsigned int Dimension>
class XEngine::Math::Curves::CardinalSpline< Dimension >

This class implements cardinal cubic Hermite splines. This type of spline curve is defined by a number of control points that have a time, a position, and a tension value that determines how sharply the spline bends at a control point by influencing the incoming and outgoing tangents at the control point.

Tension controls how sharply the curve bends at a control point. Tension values must be in the range [-1, 1]. If the tension value is 0, the spline is called a Catmull-Rom spline, see the CatmullRomSpline class.

Cardinal splines are cubic Hermite splines and therefore specify a cubic polynomial interpolation of the given control points.

Public Member Functions
