Curve

Inherits: Resource < RefCounted < Object

A mathematical curve.

Description

This resource describes a mathematical curve by defining a set of points and tangents at each point. By default, it ranges between 0 and 1 on the Y axis and positions points relative to the 0.5 Y position.

See also Gradient which is designed for color interpolation. See also Curve2D and Curve3D.

Properties

Methods

Signals

range_changed() 🔗

Emitted when max_value or min_value is changed.

Enumerations

enum TangentMode: 🔗

TangentMode TANGENT_FREE = 0

The tangent on this side of the point is user-defined.

TangentMode TANGENT_LINEAR = 1

The curve calculates the tangent on this side of the point as the slope halfway towards the adjacent point.

TangentMode TANGENT_MODE_COUNT = 2

The total number of available tangent modes.

Property Descriptions

int bake_resolution = 100 🔗

• void set_bake_resolution(value: int)

• int get_bake_resolution()

The number of points to include in the baked (i.e. cached) curve data.

float max_value = 1.0 🔗

• void set_max_value(value: float)

• float get_max_value()

The maximum value the curve can reach.

float min_value = 0.0 🔗

• void set_min_value(value: float)

• float get_min_value()

The minimum value the curve can reach.

int point_count = 0 🔗

• void set_point_count(value: int)

• int get_point_count()

The number of points describing the curve.

Method Descriptions

int add_point(position: Vector2, left_tangent: float = 0, right_tangent: float = 0, left_mode: TangentMode = 0, right_mode: TangentMode = 0) 🔗

Adds a point to the curve. For each side, if the *_mode is TANGENT_LINEAR, the *_tangent angle (in degrees) uses the slope of the curve halfway to the adjacent point. Allows custom assignments to the *_tangent angle if *_mode is set to TANGENT_FREE.

void bake() 🔗

Recomputes the baked cache of points for the curve.

void clean_dupes() 🔗

Removes duplicate points, i.e. points that are less than 0.00001 units (engine epsilon value) away from their neighbor on the curve.

void clear_points() 🔗

Removes all points from the curve.

TangentMode get_point_left_mode(index: int) const 🔗

Returns the left TangentMode for the point at index.

float get_point_left_tangent(index: int) const 🔗

Returns the left tangent angle (in degrees) for the point at index.

Vector2 get_point_position(index: int) const 🔗

Returns the curve coordinates for the point at index.

TangentMode get_point_right_mode(index: int) const 🔗

Returns the right TangentMode for the point at index.

float get_point_right_tangent(index: int) const 🔗

Returns the right tangent angle (in degrees) for the point at index.

void remove_point(index: int) 🔗

Removes the point at index from the curve.

float sample(offset: float) const 🔗

Returns the Y value for the point that would exist at the X position offset along the curve.

float sample_baked(offset: float) const 🔗

Returns the Y value for the point that would exist at the X position offset along the curve using the baked cache. Bakes the curve’s points if not already baked.

void set_point_left_mode(index: int, mode: TangentMode) 🔗

Sets the left TangentMode for the point at index to mode.

void set_point_left_tangent(index: int, tangent: float) 🔗

Sets the left tangent angle for the point at index to tangent.

int set_point_offset(index: int, offset: float) 🔗

Sets the offset from 0.5.

void set_point_right_mode(index: int, mode: TangentMode) 🔗

Sets the right TangentMode for the point at index to mode.

void set_point_right_tangent(index: int, tangent: float) 🔗

Sets the right tangent angle for the point at index to tangent.

void set_point_value(index: int, y: float) 🔗

Assigns the vertical position y to the point at index.
