Expand description
What a blend actually achieved, measured rather than asserted.
A blend claims two things: that it meets each of its supports along a
curve, and that it meets them smoothly: the two surfaces sharing a
normal there. Both are claims about geometry that construction can get
subtly wrong: a fitted section drifts, a marched spine carries its
chord budget, a rebuilt face lands on a neighbour a hair off. This
module reports the two numbers instead of trusting them, with a third
for surface work that asks more: whether the two faces also bend alike
across the edge. Per-point curvature over a face, for curvature maps and
zebra stripes, is face_curvature_samples.
The report is per shared edge, because that is where the claim lives.
Structs§
- Blend
Contact - How well a blend face meets one neighbour along one edge.
Functions§
- analyse_
blend - Measure a blend face against every face it shares an edge with.
- face_
curvature_ samples - The surface’s curvature over a face, on a grid: what a curvature map or a zebra display draws from.
