Ada Curve

Fun and experimentation with curve drawing algorithms using Ada.

Currently Implemented

• De Castelijau
• De Boor
• Catmull Rom
• Lagrange interplation on equidistant nodes
• Lagrange interpolation on Chavyshev nodes

Dependencies

One needs to install cmake to build glfw3 and gprbuild to build OpenGLAda.

Clone

In order to recieve the OpenGLAda submodule, you need to clone recursively:

git clone https://github.com/alkhimey/Ada_Curve.git --recursive

Build

The command make will execute:

gprbuild  -p -P adacurve.gpr -XWindowing_System=x11 -XGLFW_Version=3

Run

The command make run will execute:

./bin/main ./OpenGLAda/tests/ftgl/SourceCodePro-Regular.ttf

Path to the font file is optional and is required only for displaying the text on the screen.

• Press and hold H to view help information.
• Right-click on an empty locating to add a control point there.
• Right-click on a control point to delete it.
• Left-click and drag control point to move it.
• Press A to cycle through different algorithms.
• Press P to toggle control points and control polygon.

When displaying a B-Spline curve (De Boor algorithm):

• Press U to transform the knot vector into a uniform and clamped vector.

Known issues

• In De-Boor algorithm, knot multiplicity in the middle of the knot vector causes incorrect rendering of the curve.
