splinepy.helpme.create.Creator.determinant_spline#
- Creator.determinant_spline()[source]#
Creates a spline representing the projection of the jacobian determinant
dmin > 0 –> spline is not tangled dmin <= 0 –> spline is COULD BE tangled
Only works if (parameter dimension == physical dimension). A definitive statement about the entanglement can only be made with non-rational splines or rational splines with equal weights! Otherwise, the resulting spline, and therefore the entanglement check is just an approximation.
