gp_Parab Class Reference

Describes a parabola in 3D space.
A parabola is defined by its focal length (that is, the
distance between its focus and apex) and positioned in
space with a coordinate system (a gp_Ax2 object)
where:
- the origin of the coordinate system is on the apex of
the parabola,
- the "X Axis" of the coordinate system is the axis of
symmetry; the parabola is on the positive side of this axis, and
- the origin, "X Direction" and "Y Direction" of the
coordinate system define the plane of the parabola.
The equation of the parabola in this coordinate system,
which is the "local coordinate system" of the parabola, is:
Y**2 = (2*P) * X.
where P, referred to as the parameter of the parabola, is
the distance between the focus and the directrix (P is
twice the focal length).
The "main Direction" of the local coordinate system gives
the normal vector to the plane of the parabola.

 gp_Parab ()
 Creates an indefinite Parabola.
.
 gp_Parab (const gp_Ax2 &A2, const Standard_Real Focal)
 Creates a parabola with its local coordinate system "A2"
and it's focal length "Focal".
The XDirection of A2 defines the axis of symmetry of the
parabola. The YDirection of A2 is parallel to the directrix
of the parabola. The Location point of A2 is the vertex of
the parabola
Raises ConstructionError if Focal < 0.0
//! Raised if Focal < 0.0
.
 gp_Parab (const gp_Ax1 &D, const gp_Pnt &F)
 D is the directrix of the parabola and F the focus point.
The symmetry axis (XAxis) of the parabola is normal to the
directrix and pass through the focus point F, but its
location point is the vertex of the parabola.
The YAxis of the parabola is parallel to D and its location
point is the vertex of the parabola. The normal to the plane
of the parabola is the cross product between the XAxis and the
YAxis.
.
void SetAxis (const gp_Ax1 &A1)
 Modifies this parabola by redefining its local coordinate system so that
- its origin and "main Direction" become those of the
axis A1 (the "X Direction" and "Y Direction" are then
recomputed in the same way as for any gp_Ax2)
Raises ConstructionError if the direction of A1 is parallel to the previous
XAxis of the parabola.
.
void SetFocal (const Standard_Real Focal)
 Changes the focal distance of the parabola.
Raises ConstructionError if Focal < 0.0
.
void SetLocation (const gp_Pnt &P)
 Changes the location of the parabola. It is the vertex of
the parabola.

const gp_Ax1Axis () const
 Returns the main axis of the parabola.
It is the axis normal to the plane of the parabola passing
through the vertex of the parabola.
.
gp_Ax1 Directrix () const
 Computes the directrix of this parabola.
The directrix is:
- a line parallel to the "Y Direction" of the local
coordinate system of this parabola, and
- located on the negative side of the axis of symmetry,
at a distance from the apex which is equal to the focal
length of this parabola.
The directrix is returned as an axis (a gp_Ax1 object),
the origin of which is situated on the "X Axis" of this parabola.

.
gp_Ax1 XAxis () const
 Returns the symmetry axis of the parabola. The location point
of the axis is the vertex of the parabola.
