int	getNbInterpolationPoints() Get the number of interpolation points.
List<TimeInterpolator<? extends TimeStamped>>	getSubInterpolators() Get all lowest level interpolators implemented by this instance, otherwise return a list with this instance only.

Method Detail

interpolate

T interpolate(AbsoluteDate interpolationDate,
              Stream<T> sample)

Get an interpolated instance.

Parameters:

interpolationDate - interpolation date

sample - time stamped sample

Returns:

a new instance, interpolated at specified date

See Also:

TimeStamped, AbsoluteDate

interpolate

T interpolate(AbsoluteDate interpolationDate,
              Collection<T> sample)

Get an interpolated instance.

Parameters:

interpolationDate - interpolation date

sample - time stamped sample

Returns:

a new instance, interpolated at specified date

getSubInterpolators

List<TimeInterpolator<? extends TimeStamped>> getSubInterpolators()

Get all lowest level interpolators implemented by this instance, otherwise return a list with this instance only.

An example would be the spacecraft state interpolator which can use different interpolators for each of its attributes (orbit, absolute position-velocity-acceleration coordinates, mass...). In this case, it would return the list of all of these interpolators (or possibly all of their sub-interpolators if they were to use multiple interpolators themselves).

Returns:

list of interpolators

getNbInterpolationPoints

int getNbInterpolationPoints()

Get the number of interpolation points. In the specific case where this interpolator contains multiple sub-interpolators, this method will return the maximum number of interpolation points required among all sub-interpolators.

Returns:

the number of interpolation points

Since:

12.0.1

getExtrapolationThreshold

double getExtrapolationThreshold()

Get the extrapolation threshold.

Returns:

get the extrapolation threshold
