Methods

IconTypeDescription
Clone()
Constructs an exact copy of this instance.
Equals(Object)
Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
Finalize()
Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.
FindRoots()
Gets the set of X-coordinates where the curve crosses the X-axis.
GetCurveFitter()
Returns a CurveFitter object that can be used to fit the curve to data.
GetDataPoint(Int32)

Properties

IconTypeDescription
NumberOfIntervals
Gets the number of intervals that make up this PiecewiseCurve.
Parameters
Gets the collection of parameters that determine the shape of this Curve.

Remarks

Use the PiecewiseConstantCurve class to represent a curve or function whose value is constant over a number of subintervals, but may be different on different intervals.

Piecewise constant curves are defined to be left-continuous. This means that on each interval, the function value at the left or lower bound is equal to the constant value over the interval. The function value at the right or upper bound is equal to the value of the curve on the next interval.

Piecewise linear curves inherit from PiecewiseCurve.
