CatmullRomSpline (Macrofocus High-D API for Swing SpecificationA good and efficient starting point is the use of the SwingHighD component. It contains all the information to get started within minutes!To use this API, please make sure you have at least (this is the absolute minimum) the macrofocus-high-d-swing.jar, macrofocus-high-d.jar, macrofocus-common.jar, macrofocus-visualization.jar, and macrofocus-slider.jar libraries in your class path.)

java.lang.Object
- com.macrofocus.high_d.parallelcoordinates.geometry.curve.Curve
- - com.macrofocus.high_d.parallelcoordinates.geometry.curve.CatmullRomSpline

```
public class CatmullRomSpline
extends Curve
```
The CatmullRomSpline is equal to the CardinalSpline with the value of alpha fixed at 0.5. The implementation for the CatmullRomSpline is about 10% faster then the CardinalSpline implementation.

All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`appendTo(com.macrofocus.high_d.parallelcoordinates.geometry.curve.MultiPath mp)`	The requirements for this curve are the group-iterator must be in-range and have a group size of at least 4.
`protected void`	`eval(double[] p)`	The eval method evaluates a point on a curve given a parametric value "t".
`int`	`getSampleLimit()`	Returns a value of 1.

```
public CatmullRomSpline(ControlPath cp,
                        GroupIterator gi)
```
- Method Detail
  - eval
```
protected void eval(double[] p)
```
    The eval method evaluates a point on a curve given a parametric value "t". The parametric value "t" is stored in the last index location of the specified double array. This value should not be changed. The dimension of the point to evaluate is p.length - 1. The result of the evaluation is placed in index locations 0 .. p.length - 2 (inclusive).
    The eval method should remain protected except for those curves that do no need any preparation to be done in the appendTo method.
  - getSampleLimit
```
public int getSampleLimit()
```
    Returns a value of 1.
  - appendTo
```
public void appendTo(com.macrofocus.high_d.parallelcoordinates.geometry.curve.MultiPath mp)
```
    The requirements for this curve are the group-iterator must be in-range and have a group size of at least 4. If these requirements are not met then this method returns quietly.
