helix_evaluate
- compas.geometry.helix_evaluate(t, a, b)[source]
Evalutes an helix at a parameter.
- Parameters:
- t: float
Parameter.
- a: float
The radius of the helix is a.
- b: float
The slope of the helix is b / a.
- Returns:
- [float, float, float]
The XYZ coordinates.
Notes
An interpretation of the constants a and b are the radius of the helix is a, and the slope of the helix is b / a.
