#Introduction

This is a C++ library for handling n-dimensional curves, or, actually, n-dimensional polygonal lines.

Classes provided

• template<typename real, unsigned int dim, class Point = PointN<real,dim>, class Vector = VectorN<real,dim>> class PolygonalCurve< real, dim, Point, Vector >

  N-dimensional polygonal chain.

  This templated class represents an open or closed Polygonal Chain in n dimensions. It requires Point and Vector types for which a standard implementation is provided. If desired, the user may provide a custom implementation of these classes or, better yet, derive and customize them.

  Parameters:

  • real is the type used for storing each cartesian coordinate of each point.

  • dim is the number of dimensions of each point.

  • Point each vertex of the polygonal line is stored as an object of this class.

  • Vector objects of this class are returned whenever a vector in dim dimensions is required.
