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.
