Bezier curve of the 5th order

Bezier curve of the 5th order

Command

#set paramVertexSmoothing(<type>; <subtype>; <radius> )#

Parameter <type>

for the Bezier curve of the 5th order: 5

Parameter <subtype>

1: Constant tolerance radius
2: Distance between intersection and vertex
3: Adaptive tolerance radius

Parameter <radius>

Max. radius of the tolerance sphere

With 5th order Bezier blending, no step change in acceleration occurs in the axis components on entry into the tolerance sphere. In other words, the path axis acceleration is always constant if blending is selected.

This blending can be used for all segment transitions. The subtypes 2 and 3 only work for straight line / straight line transitions.

Bezier curve of the 5th order 1:

Acute angles at the segment transition

The Bezier splines are generated by default, even at very acute angles. In order to avoid the dynamic values being exceeded, a considerable reduction velocity is required in this case. However, since the dynamics are held constant in the spline, the movement across the spline can be quite slow. In this case it is often practical to start the segment transition with an accurate stop. The command AutoAccurateStop can be used to avoid having to calculate the angles manually.
