Often accumulating the curve length is the intended way of parametrization, but as the interpolated curve is not known in advance an approximation needs to be used. The values are calculated by cumulating increments, that are provided by QwtSplineParametrization. As the curve parameters need to be montonically increasing, each increment need to be positive. - t[0] = 0; - t[i] = t[i-1] + valueIncrement( point[i-1], p[i] ); QwtSplineParametrization provides the most common used type of parametrizations and offers an interface to inject custom implementations. \note The most relevant types of parametrization are trying to provide an approximation of the curve length. \sa QwtSpline::setParametrization() */ class QWT_EXPORT QwtSplineParametrization { public: //!
