public class TorusKnot
extends SpaceCurveParametric

Defines a torus knot -- a curve that wraps around the surface of a torus. The axis of the torus is the z-axis, and the cross section of the torus can be elliptical. A TorusKnot can show the torus as a "dot cloud torus."

Nested Class Summary

class

TorusKnot.TorusKnotView Adds to a generic SpaceCurveParametricView the ability to show a "cloud torus" on whose surface the curve lies.

public TorusKnot()

Method Detail

value

protected Vector3D value(double t)

Description copied from class: SpaceCurveParametric

Returns a point (x(t), y(t), z(t)) on the curve, given a value of t. The return value can be null, indicating a break in the curve. Subclasses must define this method to specify a particular curve.

Specified by:

value in class SpaceCurveParametric

getDefaultView

public View getDefaultView()

Description copied from class: SpaceCurveParametric

Returns a View of type SpaceCurveParametric.SpaceCurveParametricView as the default view of this curve. In this view, the curve appears as a curve.

Overrides:
