SplineLib: A Modern Multi-Purpose C++ Spline Library
Abstract
This paper provides the description of a novel, multi-purpose spline library. In accordance with the increasingly diverse modes of usage of splines, it is multi-purpose in the sense that it supports geometry representation, finite element analysis, and optimization. The library features reading and writing for various file formats and a wide range of spline manipulation algorithms. Further, a new efficient and objective-oriented algorithm for B-spline basis function evaluation is included. All features are available by a spline-type independent interface. The library is written in modern C++ with CMake as build system. This enables it for usage in typical scientific applications. It is provided as open-source library.
