Member Function Documentation

addChain()

bool KDL::Tree::addChain	(	const Chain &	chain,
		const std::string &	chain_name,
		const std::string &	hook_name )

Adds a complete chain to the end of the segment with hook_name as segment_name. Segment i of the chain will get chain_name+".Segment"+i as segment_name.

Parameters

chain	Chain to add
chain_name	name of the chain
hook_name	name of the segment to connect the chain with.

Returns

false if hook_name could not be found.

Definition at line 83 of file tree.cpp.

addSegment()

bool KDL::Tree::addSegment	(	const Segment &	segment,
		const std::string &	segment_name,
		const std::string &	hook_name )

Adds a new segment to the end of the segment with hook_name as segment_name

Parameters

segment	new segment to add
segment_name	name of the new segment
hook_name	name of the segment to connect this segment with.

Returns

false if hook_name could not be found.

Definition at line 59 of file tree.cpp.

addTree()

bool KDL::Tree::addTree	(	const Tree &	tree,
		const std::string &	tree_name,
		const std::string &	hook_name )

Adds a complete tree to the end of the segment with hookname as segment_name. The segments of the tree will get tree_name+segment_name as segment_name.

Parameters

tree	Tree to add
tree_name	name of the tree
hook_name	name of the segment to connect the tree with

Returns

false if hook_name could not be found

Definition at line 98 of file tree.cpp.

getNrOfJoints()

unsigned int KDL::Tree::getNrOfJoints ( ) const

inline

Request the total number of joints in the tree.
Important: It is not the same as the total number of segments since a segment does not need to have a joint.

Returns

total nr of joints

Definition at line 131 of file tree.hpp.

getNrOfSegments()

unsigned int KDL::Tree::getNrOfSegments ( ) const

inline

Request the total number of segments in the tree.

Returns

total number of segments

Definition at line 140 of file tree.hpp.

getSegment()

SegmentMap::const_iterator KDL::Tree::getSegment ( const std::string & segment_name ) const

inline

Request the segment of the tree with name segment_name.

Parameters

segment_name

the name of the requested segment

Returns

constant iterator pointing to the requested segment

Definition at line 149 of file tree.hpp.

getSegmentPtr()

SegmentMap::value_type const * KDL::Tree::getSegmentPtr ( const std::string & segment_name ) const

inline

Definition at line 154 of file tree.hpp.

getSegments()

const SegmentMap & KDL::Tree::getSegments ( ) const

inline

Definition at line 164 of file tree.hpp.
