Deformation.compute_control_points(param, rbf_points=1000)[source]

Compute the control points 2D coordinates for one of the parametric curves.

Parameters:
  • param (str) – parameter corresponding to the parametric curve. possible values are chord, pitch, rake, skew, camber
  • rbf_points (int) – if greater than zero then the Wendland C2 radial basis function is used to interpolate the original arrays for the parametric curve, so that the control points are computed according to the interpolated arrays. Needless to mention that longer arrays would produce better estimation of the control points optimum coordinates. In order to turn off the rbf interpolation: specify either 0 or -1 (Also a None value can be used too). Default value is 1000
