What is 'linear interpolation' in SAP CA-VE - SAP Visual Enterprise?

linear interpolation - Overview

• Component: CA-VE

• Component Name: SAP Visual Enterprise

• Description: An animation method that creates a uniform rate of change between keys that manifest in a mechanical type of animation. It requires only two keys to function. This method always creates straight lines between the keys with sharp corners at the key itself.

linear interpolation - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Linear interpolation is a method used in SAP Visual Enterprise to create a smooth transition between two points. It is used to create a smooth, continuous path between two points in a 3D environment. This allows for more realistic and accurate visualizations of objects in the 3D environment. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Linear interpolation can be used in SAP Visual Enterprise by selecting two points and then selecting the “Interpolate” option. This will create a smooth, continuous path between the two points. The user can then adjust the parameters of the interpolation to achieve the desired effect. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using linear interpolation, it is important to consider the size and shape of the object being visualized. This will help ensure that the interpolation is accurate and realistic. Additionally, it is important to consider the lighting conditions in the 3D environment, as this can affect how the interpolation appears. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Linear interpolation is just one of many methods used in SAP Visual Enterprise for creating realistic 3D visualizations. Other methods include spline interpolation, which creates a curved path between two points, and Bezier curves, which are used to create curved paths with more control over the shape of the curve.
