Hypercurve

Exact, evidence-carrying planar curves, paths, contours, and regions for CAD topology.

Hypercurve is the two-dimensional curve kernel in the Hyper geometry stack. It models lines, circular arcs, Bézier curves, B-splines, and NURBS with hyperreal::Real coordinates, then builds intersection, classification, regularized Boolean, offset, reconstruction, and finite-projection operations on those carriers.

The crate owns planar curve geometry and topology. It deliberately does not own solid modeling or mesh topology: CSG grammar and operations such as extrusion, revolve, sweep, and loft belong in CSGRS, while triangle-mesh Boolean work belongs in Hypermesh.

This README describes crate version 0.3.1.

CurveRegion2 is the sole public filled-region carrier. Native line/arc specializations remain private fast paths inside the unified kernel.

Region and closed-path point queries accept CurvePoint2, preserving selected roots and generated contact evidence. Convert authored coordinates with Point2::into(); coordinates() is an optional stored-coordinate view. Region batches accept &[CurvePoint2] and share query preparation across scalar and generated points. Closed paths retain their trace and even-odd interior; filled regions classify their regularized boundary, including holes and nested islands.

CurveRegion2::try_from_boundary_paths(paths, fill_rule) applies one fill rule to the total signed winding of all closed paths, then publishes the regularized set. NonZero preserves equally oriented overlaps and cancels opposite winding; EvenOdd selects odd winding. SVG compound fills use this same admission path. Explicit material/hole constructors instead combine each loop's filled membership by its supplied role. Interior sides are certified by the arrangement from winding; authoring does not require orientation hints.

Hyperreal, Hypersolve, and Hyperlimit are mandatory parts of the exact kernel; feature flags select only optional adapters and instrumentation.

Quick start

This builds a quadratic Bézier, constructs a square region from exact line segments, and classifies an interior point.

use hypercurve::{
    BezierDegree, Contour2, CurveRegion2, LineSeg2, Point2, QuadraticBezier2, RegionPointLocation,
    Segment2,
};
use hyperreal::Real;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let p = |x, y| Point2::new(Real::from(x), Real::from(y));
    let bezier = QuadraticBezier2::new(p(0, 0), p(1, 2), p(2, 0));
    assert_eq!(bezier.structural_facts().degree, BezierDegree::Quadratic);

    let boundary = [
        ((0, 0), (2, 0)),
        ((2, 0), (2, 2)),
        ((2, 2), (0, 2)),
        ((0, 2), (0, 0)),
    ]
    .into_iter()
    .map(|(start, end)| LineSeg2::try_new(p(start.0, start.1), p(end.0, end.1)).map(Segment2::Line))
    .collect::<hypercurve::CurveResult<Vec<_>>>()?;

    let contour = Contour2::try_new(boundary)?;
    let region = CurveRegion2::try_from_native_material_contours(vec![contour])?;
    assert_eq!(
        region.classify_point(&p(1, 1).into())?,
        RegionPointLocation::Inside
    );
    Ok(())

A Contour2 is a closed, connected line/arc boundary with a fill rule. CurvePath2 generalizes connected paths to every supported curve family. CurveRegion2 stores filled topology as oriented exact boundary curves and is the main input to mixed-family region operations. Curve operations emit boundary provenance for inspection; authored input supplies geometry and fill semantics.

API guide

The following list covers the useful public front doors. Result and evidence types have accessors for inspecting counts, sources, blockers, and retained topology; consult docs.rs for those fields and exact signatures.

Coordinates, primitives, and transforms

• Point2::{new, from_values, x, y, delta_from, distance_squared, lerp, translated, structural_facts} creates and inspects exact points.
• CurvePoint2::{from, coordinates, coincides_with, compare_coordinate, bounds} handles exact curve contacts through one opaque value. coordinates() is an optional view of stored Real coordinates; selected points retain their exact meaning and support geometric queries without that view. Undecided predicates are reported as blockers.
• LineSeg2::{try_new, point_at, reversed, classify_point, contains_point, structural_facts} covers checked segments and point predicates.
• CircularArc2::{try_from_center, from_bulge, contains_point, contains_sweep_point, point_at_sweep_fraction, reversed, structural_facts} covers directed circular arcs.
• Segment2::{from_bulge, kind, point_at, contains_point, reversed, structural_facts} dispatches over lines and arcs.
• Similarity2::{try_from_real_affine, try_from_f64_affine, transform_point, scale, reverses_orientation} validates exact translation, rotation, reflection, and uniform scale transforms. Curve and region types expose transform_similarity; CurveRegion2 also exposes transform_affine.

Bézier curves

• QuadraticBezier2::{new, from_line_segment, interpolate_point_at_parameter, interpolate_midpoint, point_at, control_hull_box, endpoint_tangent, structural_facts}.
• CubicBezier2::{new, interpolate_hermite, point_at, control_hull_box, endpoint_tangent, structural_facts}.
• RationalQuadraticBezier2 and RationalBezier2 provide checked rational construction, evaluation, derivatives, splitting, reversal, transforms, and topology/intersection evidence.
• RationalBezier2::from_homogeneous_controls retains exact Bernstein (X, Y, W) coefficients, including zero-weight intermediate controls. try_new accepts affine authoring points and weights; affine_control_points returns an optional finite view. Splitting and degree elevation preserve the homogeneous representation without forcing every control into affine space. Domain finiteness and local convex-hull certificates are separate proofs. Retained bounds and rational region point queries use the active finite interval, including exterior charts and finite restrictions excluding source poles.
• BezierParameter2, BezierParameterRange2, and BezierRootIsolationResult2 retain exact algebraic parameter information.
• Bézier analysis includes cusp and inflection classification, monotone spans, line/curve contacts, curve/curve intersection, length bounds, exact polynomial and rational area moments for conics, exact homogeneous degree elevations, arbitrary-degree carriers with at-most-quadratic weight polynomials, cubic-weight carriers with exactly classified discriminants, and arbitrary-degree weight carriers whose rational-root deflation leaves either a power of one irreducible quadratic or a quartic product of two, plus certified flattening and fitting. Exact cuts go through Curve2::split_at.
• Parallel entry points include parallel_left, parallel_right, and approximate_parallel_blend2d_certified. Their result types retain error and singularity evidence; exact topology-producing offsets are owned by the unified CurveRegion2 engine below.
• BezierParallel2::{from_source, source, distance, point_at, derivative_at, reversed, split_at_exact, subcurve_between_exact, conservative_bounds, transform_similarity} is the compact exact procedural parallel carrier. Incidence and intersection go through Curve2::try_analytic_parallel, Curve2::point_locations, and Curve2::intersect_curve. General parallel pairs use complete polynomial projections, exact common-component saturation, selected normal and tangent-degeneracy predicates, refined tensor-Bernstein rejection, and preconditioned Poincare-Miranda box replay. Exact source overlap transport handles partial and reversed reparameterizations; materializable and structural overlap lanes remain cheaper. Its BezierParallelSource2 plus signed distance is the lossless structural export boundary. Curve2::try_analytic_parallel restricts a parallel to an exact source-parameter range as a general Curve2, without fitting.

Splines and unified curves

• PolynomialSplineCurve2::{try_new, try_new_periodic, point_at, derivative_at, insert_knot, split_at, subcurve, clamped_subcurve, reversed, transform_similarity}.
• NurbsCurve2::{try_new, try_new_periodic, from_homogeneous_controls, point_at, derivative_at, insert_knot, insert_knots, remove_knot, elevated_to_degree, split_at, subcurve, clamped_subcurve, reversed, transform_similarity, native_subcurves}.
• Exact Bézier spans of any spline come from the unified curve: Curve2::from(spline).native_bezier_fragments() returns each span as CurveGeometry2, the same authored-family vocabulary used by Curve2::new, with its exact source parameter interval.
• NURBS and rational Bézier spans share HomogeneousControl2 coefficients. Extraction, knot insertion/removal, and degree recomposition preserve zero and mixed control weights without affine projection. homogeneous_controls is authoritative; affine_control_points is an optional finite view. Homogeneous NURBS construction takes an expanded knot vector and explicit SplinePeriodicity2; span evaluators retain their exact source knot intervals. Conic and polynomial specializations are optional, and linear rational spans retain degree one. Bounds and monotonicity use the actual curve denominator.
• Wrapped evaluation and one-sided evaluation are available on periodic spline carriers through the *_wrapped and *_side method families.
• Curve2::{new, try_line, try_analytic_parallel, try_from_bezier_range, point_locations, try_polynomial_bspline, try_nurbs, try_periodic_polynomial_bspline, try_periodic_nurbs, family, point_at, derivative_at, bounds, split_at, subcurve, reversed, transform_similarity, native_bezier_fragments, trim_inside_region, trim_inside_region_with_parameters} is the common owned carrier. try_line joins two general exact points, which may be selected algebraic intersection or corner locations, without rounding either endpoint. point_locations reports every exact parameter visit of a represented point as CurveLocation2 values, one per visit and one per continuous spline seam, or EntireCurve for a constant curve. Authored spans reuse their cached rational evaluators; generated parallels, chords, and selected circles use their own incidence authorities on their retained ranges. point_at and derivative_at take general CurveParameter2 values. Derivatives are CurveVector2: represented coordinates when the parameter is a plain real, otherwise a selected-field vector with an exact chart factor whose coordinate signs are decided without rounding. Selected parameters are supported on authored spans, retained rational pieces and, to first order, analytic parallels: the source velocity scaled by the exact speed ratio 1 - d cross(v, a) / |v|^3, whose sign (including the exact zero at a parallel cusp) is decided in the selected field. Other generated carriers and orders report an explicit unsupported blocker. Exact region trimming returns reusable Curve2 pieces from authored and generated supports. The parameter-retaining form reports their oriented source locations as CurveLocation2, exact parameter ranges and boundary contacts. Positive-length boundary overlaps are retained; isolated tangencies add no curve. Path trimming keeps disconnected spline spans in separate chunks. These operations borrow &Curve2 directly and reuse its retained calculations. Borrow paths as &CurvePath2; iterate their curves with path.curves().iter(). Curve2 also retains generated analytic parallels, selected circles, chords, and algebraic cuts. start and end return CurvePoint2; parameter_domain returns CurveParameterRange2, preserving selected endpoint evidence. geometry() is an optional native definition, and coordinates() is an optional scalar view of a point. Neither view is required for lossless CurveRegion2::boundary_paths export or subsequent region construction. point_at and point_at_side accept CurveParameter2 and return CurvePoint2, retaining selected roots and local fibers without requiring coordinate images. A Real or BezierParameter2 converts directly into the common parameter. parameter.scalar() and range.scalar_endpoints() expose stored Real views. Selected parameters remain exact when these views are absent. Intersections return CurveLocation2 contacts and CurveParameterRange2 overlap ranges. A location retains its support parameter and span chart; location.parameter() maps it into the authored curve domain on demand, preserving selected roots for evaluation and subdivision. CurveParameter2::compare compares parameters in a shared support chart without requiring scalar payloads and reports predicate certainty. Curve and open-path intersections consume retained rational-source cuts and exact chords directly, clipping contacts and overlaps to both active domains. Overlap boundaries retain their certified correspondence, including a shared endpoint when clipping leaves no positive-length span. Chord pairs and chord/rational-source pairs share the region intersection kernels while retaining endpoint contacts for open paths. Overlap ranges pair corresponding endpoints in the first curve's traversal order, including reversed overlaps. Selected overlap cuts reuse their source-interval certificates, and evaluation reuses finite-chord parameter certificates without reconstructing incidence. Self-crossings of projectively corresponding supports retain their off-diagonal contacts. Curve and path intersection_topology results expose reusable Curve2 pieces in traversal order. They preserve selected source parameters and one-sided spline endpoints without requiring native Bézier materialization. A path's CurvePathSplit2::curves() groups pieces by authored curve. Arrangement graphs are internal: regions are admitted from CurvePath2 boundaries. Retraced components, exterior source domains, and generated circle and parallel pair kernels still report explicit blockers where their common dispatch is unfinished. Generated curves keep their source chart when traversal is reversed. Subdivision accepts the same common parameters. Selected ranges retain their source chart and endpoint evidence, share one authored source through repeated cuts, and cover every intersected arc or spline span. Splitting returns pieces in traversal order and preserves both one-sided endpoints at spline jumps. Reversal, similarity transforms, bounds, and path corner edits consume these retained carriers. General differential and pair-intersection APIs are still being unified; operations report an explicit blocker for carriers they cannot yet consume.

Strings, paths, contours, and regions

• CurveString2::{try_new, from_bulge_vertices, link_connected_endpoints, connect_endpoints_with_line, merge_adjacent_collinear_lines, remove_adjacent_reversed_duplicates, trim_between_parameters, trim_between_points} edits connected line/arc strings without owning corner construction semantics.
• CurvePath2::{try_new, reversed, transform_similarity, chamfer_vertex_by_setbacks, fillet_vertex, bounds, classify_point, native_bezier_fragments, bezier_boundary_loop} is the sole connected-curve corner-edit authority and handles general connected curves. Chamfers enumerate exact solutions from design setbacks. Fillets take CurveFillet2 with an exact radius and optional center or contact constraints. Contact parameters use the incident input curve's chart; contact points retain every matching source location. Both edits return finite CurveCornerSolutions2. A continuous fillet family requires an additional exact constraint and returns CurveError::FilletConstraintRequired; it never publishes an arbitrary sample.
• Contour2::{try_new, try_new_with_fill_rule, from_bulge_vertices, signed_area, winding_number, classify_point, point_on_boundary, intersect_contour, intersect_self, split_at_intersections, split_at_self_intersections} handles closed line/arc boundaries.
• CurveRegion2::{empty, arrange_unordered_segments, try_from_native_contours, try_from_native_material_contours, try_from_native_boundary_contours, try_from_boundary_paths, classify_point, classify_points, signed_area, filled_area, boundary_profiles, boundary_paths, segment_certified, offset} is the mixed-family region API. offset is the sole region offset operation and takes an explicit OffsetCornerStyle2; unsupported exact carriers remain explicit blockers. segment_certified is a separate lossy output adapter and never participates in offset topology. Point queries return membership of the regularized set; authored winding multiplicity is resolved during construction. Boundary-path and native-boundary constructors take one explicit global fill rule and return a regularized region directly. Native contours may cross, overlap, or touch; their individual contour fill rules do not override the chosen compound fill. Explicit material/hole constructors retain per-loop fill semantics. Unordered segment admission returns the region through the same exact-result contract. Unresolved endpoint assembly or topology remains an exact blocker; native views and structural counts are computed when requested.
• CurveRegion2::{intersect_region, boolean_region, boolean_regions} returns intersection topology between regularized boundaries, or regularized union, intersection, difference, and xor results. Authored winding and canceled seams are resolved first. BooleanOp selects an operation; batched CurveRegionBooleanResults2 exposes all four from one evaluation.
• CurveRegion2::straight_skeleton and the straight_skeleton_*_events methods expose staged skeleton construction and blockers. translation_obstacle_convex constructs the exact translational configuration-space obstacle for supported convex contours.

Conversion, finite output, and adapters

• CurveString2::{from_real_line_string, from_finite_line_string, reconstruct_from_polyline} and Contour2::{from_real_ring, from_finite_ring, reconstruct_from_closed_polyline} import or reconstruct line/arc geometry.
• CurveRegion2::recover_from_finite_profiles reconstructs and regularizes a region from finite material/hole profiles. PolylineReconstructionOptions controls reconstruction tolerance; the import remains lossy relative to the original source curves.
• project_to_finite_polyline, project_to_finite_curve_paths, project_to_finite_profiles, and project_to_finite_region provide explicit finite approximations. FiniteProjectionOptions makes the curve chord-error budget visible at the boundary.
• With triangulation, FiniteRegionProfile2::triangulate and triangulate_finite_rings produce finite triangles through Hypertri.
• With svg, SvgGeometry2::{from_svg, from_svg_with_options, to_svg, to_svg_with_options}, parse_svg_path_data, import_svg_document, and export_svg_document provide SVG exchange. Native L, A, Q, and C commands are used where possible; a versioned data-hypercurve-path attribute preserves curve families and exact values for Hypercurve round-trips.

Precision, guarantees, and boundaries

Hypercurve separates exact values from decisions about them:

• Coordinates are Real values, not an implicit f64 tolerance model.
• Checked constructors reject malformed or structurally invalid input.
• Every public operation is exact: it takes no policy argument and returns ExactCurveResult<T>. A decision that exact predicates cannot settle is reported as an ExactCurveError::Blocked with its operation and reason, never guessed. Optional results are Options: the empty region has no bounds, and a region without a line/arc boundary has no native view.
• hypercurve::provisional(|| ...) evaluates those operations under the APPROXIMATE_512 policy, which may consume Hyperlimit's terminal 512-bit interpretation. Its Provisional<T> result yields the value through certified() only when no such terminal was consumed, and otherwise only through the explicitly unverified accessors.
• hypercurve::evaluate_under(policy, || ...) takes a Hyperlimit PredicatePolicy for callers whose policy is configuration: STRICT evaluates exactly (certified), and APPROXIMATE_512 behaves as provisional.
• CurvePreviewOptions owns finite display tolerances separately. Operations called inside evaluate use its edge-preview context; its scoped preview results are never exact topology or construction provenance.
• Classification::Decided(value) is a supported conclusion. Classification::Uncertain(reason) preserves an undecidable or unsupported predicate instead of silently choosing a side.
• CurveResult<T> reports ordinary construction/operation failures. ExactCurveResult<T> can additionally report the precise exact-topology blocker.
• Native output remains exact where the implementation has complete evidence. Projection to f64, polyline segmentation, SVG rendering, and triangulation are explicit conversion boundaries with caller-visible options or evidence.
• Boolean and arrangement result types retain contacts, overlaps, blockers, source provenance, and completeness rather than exposing private caches or sweep internals.

Support is deliberately operation-specific. A curve family being representable does not imply that every topology operation is decidable for every symbolic input. Inspect returned status and blocker evidence instead of treating uncertainty as empty geometry.

Validation and performance

The quick start is compiled as examples/basic.rs and checked byte-for-byte against this README. The test suite also covers adversarial exact predicates, mixed-family region Booleans, regression corpora, and finite adapters.

The rank-independent public-Boolean matrix, recursive radial/projective regressions (including fourth-generation offsets), and release-scale PCB corpora run in the normal suite. Longer selected-fiber and source-cusp stroke corpora can also be run explicitly:

cargo test --release --locked --all-features --lib selected_fiber_genuinely_analytic_contacts_complete_region_booleans -- --ignored
cargo test --release --locked --all-features --test hypercurve_curve_region_stroke -- --ignored

Detailed benchmark definitions and interpretation live in PERFORMANCE.md and COMPARATIVE_BENCHMARKS.md. Fuzz target ownership and replay instructions live in fuzz/README.md. These are maintainer validation resources, not API guarantees.
