Defined in local-properties-at-t/normal/double/normal2.ts:19

Returns a normal vector (not necessarily of unit length) of a bezier curve at a specific given parameter value t by simply taking the tangent at that point and rotating it by 90 degrees.

  • uses double precision calculations internally

Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
psnumber[][]a linear, quadratic or cubic bezier curve given by its ordered control points, e.g. [[0,0],[1,1],[2,1],[2,0]]
tnumberthe parameter value where the normal should be evaluated
