POLYNOMIALCURVEPOSITION Compute position on a curve for a given length. POS = polynomialCurvePosition(T, XCOEF, YCOEF, L) XCOEF and YCOEF are row vectors of coefficients, in the form: [a0 a1 a2 ... an] T is a 1x2 row vector, containing the bounds of the parametrization variable: T = [T0 T1], with T taking all values between T0 and T1. L is the geodesic length corresponding to the searched position. POS is a scalar, verifying relation: L = polynomialCurveLength([T(1) POS], XCOEF, YCOEF); POS = polynomialCurvePosition(T, COEFS, L) COEFS is either a 2xN matrix (one row for the coefficients of each coordinate), or a cell array. POS = polynomialCurvePosition(..., TOL) TOL is the tolerance fo computation (absolute).
