Cyclic splines (#14106) # Objective Fill a gap in the functionality of our curve constructions by allowing users to easily build cyclic curves from control data. ## Solution Here I opted for something lightweight and discoverable. There is a new `CyclicCubicGenerator` trait with a method `to_curve_cyclic` which uses splines' control data to create curves that are cyclic. For now, its signature is exactly like that of `CubicGenerator` — `to_curve_cyclic` just yields a `CubicCurve`: ```rust /// Implement this on cubic splines that can generate a cyclic cubic curve from their spline parameters. /// /// This makes sense only when the control data can be interpreted cyclically. pub trait CyclicCubicGenerator<P: VectorSpace> { /// Build a cyclic [`CubicCurve`] by computing the interpolation coefficients for each curve segment. fn to_curve_cyclic(&self) -> CubicCurve<P>; } ``` This trait has been implemented for `CubicHermite`, `CubicCardinalSpline`, `CubicBSpline`, and `LinearSpline`: <img width="753" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 8 58 27 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/69ae0802-3b78-4fb9-b73a-6f842cf3b33c"> <img width="628" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 9 00 14 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/2992175a-a96c-40fc-b1a1-5206c3572cde"> <img width="606" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 8 59 36 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/9e99eb3a-dbe6-42da-886c-3d3e00410d03"> <img width="603" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 8 59 01 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/d037bc0c-396a-43af-ab5c-fad9a29417ef"> (Each type pictured respectively with the control points rendered as green spheres; tangents not pictured in the case of the Hermite spline.)

In the other cases, the segments from `to_curve` are a subset of those in `to_curve_cyclic`, with the new segments appearing at the end. ## Testing I rendered cyclic splines from control data and made sure they looked reasonable. Existing tests are intact for splines where previous code was modified. (Note that the coefficient computation for cyclic spline segments is almost verbatim identical to that of their non-cyclic counterparts.) The Bezier benchmarks also look fine. --- ## Changelog - Added `CyclicCubicGenerator` trait to `bevy_math::cubic_splines` for creating cyclic curves from control data. - Implemented `CyclicCubicGenerator` for `CubicHermite`, `CubicCardinalSpline`, `CubicBSpline`, and `LinearSpline`. - `bevy_math` now depends on `itertools`. --- ## Discussion ### Design decisions The biggest thing here is just the approach taken in the first place: namely, the cyclic constructions use new methods on the same old structs. This choice was made to reduce friction and increase discoverability but also because creating new ones just seemed unnecessary: the underlying data would have been the same, so creating something like "`CyclicCubicBSpline`" whose internally-held control data is regarded as cyclic in nature doesn't really accomplish much — the end result for the user is basically the same either way. Similarly, I don't presently see a pressing need for `to_curve_cyclic` to output something other than a `CubicCurve`, although changing this in the future may be useful. See below. A notable omission here is that `CyclicCubicGenerator` is not implemented for `CubicBezier`. This is not a gap waiting to be filled — `CubicBezier` just doesn't have enough data to join its start with its end without just making up the requisite control points wholesale. In all the cases where `CyclicCubicGenerator` has been implemented here, the fashion in which the ends are connected is quite natural and follows the semantics of the associated spline construction. ### Future direction There are two main things here: 1. We should investigate whether we should do something similar for NURBS. I just don't know that much about NURBS at the moment, so I regarded this as out of scope for the PR. 2. We may eventually want to change the output type of `CyclicCubicGenerator::to_curve_cyclic` to a type which reifies the cyclic nature of the curve output. This wasn't done in this PR because I'm unsure how much value a type-level guarantee of cyclicity actually has, but if some useful features make sense only in the case of cyclic curves, this might be worth pursuing.

Merge Style properties into Node. Use ComputedNode for computed properties. (#15975) # Objective Continue improving the user experience of our UI Node API in the direction specified by [Bevy's Next Generation Scene / UI System](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437) ## Solution As specified in the document above, merge `Style` fields into `Node`, and move "computed Node fields" into `ComputedNode` (I chose this name over something like `ComputedNodeLayout` because it currently contains more than just layout info. If we want to break this up / rename these concepts, lets do that in a separate PR). `Style` has been removed. This accomplishes a number of goals: ## Ergonomics wins Specifying both `Node` and `Style` is now no longer required for non-default styles Before: ```rust commands.spawn(( Node::default(), Style { width: Val::Px(100.), ..default() }, )); ``` After: ```rust commands.spawn(Node { width: Val::Px(100.), ..default() }); ``` ## Conceptual clarity `Style` was never a comprehensive "style sheet". It only defined "core" style properties that all `Nodes` shared. Any "styled property" that couldn't fit that mold had to be in a separate component. A "real" style system would style properties _across_ components (`Node`, `Button`, etc). We have plans to build a true style system (see the doc linked above). By moving the `Style` fields to `Node`, we fully embrace `Node` as the driving concept and remove the "style system" confusion. ## Next Steps * Consider identifying and splitting out "style properties that aren't core to Node". This should not happen for Bevy 0.15. --- ## Migration Guide Move any fields set on `Style` into `Node` and replace all `Style` component usage with `Node`. Before: ```rust commands.spawn(( Node::default(), Style { width: Val::Px(100.), ..default() }, )); ``` After: ```rust commands.spawn(Node { width: Val::Px(100.), ..default() }); ``` For any usage of the "computed node properties" that used to live on `Node`, use `ComputedNode` instead: Before: ```rust fn system(nodes: Query<&Node>) { for node in &nodes { let computed_size = node.size(); } } ``` After: ```rust fn system(computed_nodes: Query<&ComputedNode>) { for computed_node in &computed_nodes { let computed_size = computed_node.size(); } } ```

Text rework (#15591) **Ready for review.

I separated `TextSpan` from `TextSpan2d` because `TextSpan` needs to require the `GhostNode` component, which is a `bevy_ui` component only usable by UI. Extra changes: - Added `EntityCommands::commands_mut` that returns a mutable reference. This is a blocker for extension methods that return something other than `self`. Note that `sickle_ui`'s `UiBuilder::commands` returns a mutable reference for this reason. ## Testing - [x] Text examples all work. --- ## Showcase TODO: showcase-worthy ## Migration Guide TODO: very breaking ### Accessing text spans by index Text sections are now text sections on different entities in a hierarchy, Use the new `TextReader` and `TextWriter` system parameters to access spans by index. Before: ```rust fn refresh_text(mut query: Query<&mut Text, With<TimeText>>, time: Res<Time>) { let text = query.single_mut(); text.sections[1].value = format_time(time.elapsed()); } ``` After: ```rust fn refresh_text( query: Query<Entity, With<TimeText>>, mut writer: UiTextWriter, time: Res<Time> ) { let entity = query.single(); *writer.text(entity, 1) = format_time(time.elapsed()); } ``` ### Iterating text spans Text spans are now entities in a hierarchy, so the new `UiTextReader` and `UiTextWriter` system parameters provide ways to iterate that hierarchy. The `UiTextReader::iter` method will give you a normal iterator over spans, and `UiTextWriter::for_each` lets you visit each of the spans. --------- Co-authored-by: ickshonpe <david.curthoys@googlemail.com> Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com>

Cyclic splines (#14106) # Objective Fill a gap in the functionality of our curve constructions by allowing users to easily build cyclic curves from control data. ## Solution Here I opted for something lightweight and discoverable. There is a new `CyclicCubicGenerator` trait with a method `to_curve_cyclic` which uses splines' control data to create curves that are cyclic.

This choice was made to reduce friction and increase discoverability but also because creating new ones just seemed unnecessary: the underlying data would have been the same, so creating something like "`CyclicCubicBSpline`" whose internally-held control data is regarded as cyclic in nature doesn't really accomplish much — the end result for the user is basically the same either way.

A notable omission here is that `CyclicCubicGenerator` is not implemented for `CubicBezier`. This is not a gap waiting to be filled — `CubicBezier` just doesn't have enough data to join its start with its end without just making up the requisite control points wholesale. In all the cases where `CyclicCubicGenerator` has been implemented here, the fashion in which the ends are connected is quite natural and follows the semantics of the associated spline construction. ### Future direction There are two main things here: 1. We should investigate whether we should do something similar for NURBS. I just don't know that much about NURBS at the moment, so I regarded this as out of scope for the PR. 2. We may eventually want to change the output type of `CyclicCubicGenerator::to_curve_cyclic` to a type which reifies the cyclic nature of the curve output. This wasn't done in this PR because I'm unsure how much value a type-level guarantee of cyclicity actually has, but if some useful features make sense only in the case of cyclic curves, this might be worth pursuing.

Disallow empty cubic and rational curves (#14382) # Objective Previously, our cubic spline constructors would produce `CubicCurve`/`RationalCurve` output with no data when they themselves didn't hold enough control points to produce a well-formed curve. Attempting to sample the resulting empty "curves" (e.g. by calling `CubicCurve::position`) would crash the program (😓). The objectives of this PR are: 1. Ensure that the curve output of `bevy_math`'s spline constructions are never invalid as data. 2. Provide a type-level guarantee that `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve` actually function as curves. ## Solution This has a few pieces. Firstly, the curve generator traits `CubicGenerator`, `CyclicCubicGenerator`, and `RationalGenerator` are now fallible — they have associated error types, and the curve-generation functions are allowed to fail: ```rust /// Implement this on cubic splines that can generate a cubic curve from their spline parameters. pub trait CubicGenerator<P: VectorSpace> { /// An error type indicating why construction might fail. type Error; /// Build a [`CubicCurve`] by computing the interpolation coefficients for each curve segment. fn to_curve(&self) -> Result<CubicCurve<P>, Self::Error>; } ``` All existing spline constructions use this together with errors that indicate when they didn't have the right control data and provide curves which have at least one segment whenever they return an `Ok` variant. Next, `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve` have been blessed with a guarantee that their internal array of segments (`segments`) is never empty. In particular, this field is no longer public, so that invalid curves cannot be built using struct instantiation syntax. To compensate for this shortfall for users (in particular library authors who might want to implement their own generators), there is a new method `from_segments` on these for constructing a curve from a list of segments, failing if the list is empty: ```rust /// Create a new curve from a collection of segments. If the collection of segments is empty, /// a curve cannot be built and `None` will be returned instead. pub fn from_segments(segments: impl Into<Vec<CubicSegment<P>>>) -> Option<Self> { //... } ``` All existing methods on `CyclicCurve` and `CubicCurve` maintain the invariant, so the direct construction of invalid values by users is impossible. ## Testing Run unit tests from `bevy_math::cubic_splines`. Additionally, run the `cubic_splines` example and try to get it to crash using small numbers of control points: it uses the fallible constructors directly, so if invalid data is ever constructed, it is basically guaranteed to crash. --- ## Migration Guide The `to_curve` method on Bevy's cubic splines is now fallible (returning a `Result`), meaning that any existing calls will need to be updated by handling the possibility of an error variant. Similarly, any custom implementation of `CubicGenerator` or `RationalGenerator` will need to be amended to include an `Error` type and be made fallible itself. Finally, the fields of `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve` are now private, so any direct constructions of these structs from segments will need to be replaced with the new `CubicCurve::from_segments` and `RationalCurve::from_segments` methods. --- ## Design The main thing to justify here is the choice for the curve internals to remain the same. After all, if they were able to cause crashes in the first place, it's worth wondering why safeguards weren't put in place on the types themselves to prevent that. My view on this is that the problem was really that the internals of these methods implicitly relied on the assumption that the value they were operating on was *actually a curve*, when this wasn't actually guaranteed. Now, it's possible to make a bunch of small changes inside the curve struct methods to account for that, but I think that's worse than just guaranteeing that the data is valid upstream — sampling is about as hot a code path as we're going to get in this area, and hitting an additional branch every time it happens just to check that the struct contains valid data is probably a waste of resources. Another way of phrasing this is that even if we're only interested in solving the crashes, the curve's validity needs to be checked at some point, and it's almost certainly better to do this once at the point of construction than every time the curve is sampled. In cases where the control data is supplied dynamically, users would already have to deal with empty curve outputs basically not working. Anecdotally, I ran into this while writing the `cubic_splines` example, and I think the diff illustrates the improvement pretty nicely — the code no longer has to anticipate whether the output will be good or not; it just has to handle the `Result`. The cost of all this, of course, is that we have to guarantee that the new invariant is actually maintained whenever we extend the API. However, for the most part, I don't expect users to want to do much surgery on the internals of their curves anyway.

The Bezier benchmarks also look fine. --- ## Changelog - Added `CyclicCubicGenerator` trait to `bevy_math::cubic_splines` for creating cyclic curves from control data. - Implemented `CyclicCubicGenerator` for `CubicHermite`, `CubicCardinalSpline`, `CubicBSpline`, and `LinearSpline`. - `bevy_math` now depends on `itertools`. --- ## Discussion ### Design decisions The biggest thing here is just the approach taken in the first place: namely, the cyclic constructions use new methods on the same old structs. This choice was made to reduce friction and increase discoverability but also because creating new ones just seemed unnecessary: the underlying data would have been the same, so creating something like "`CyclicCubicBSpline`" whose internally-held control data is regarded as cyclic in nature doesn't really accomplish much — the end result for the user is basically the same either way. Similarly, I don't presently see a pressing need for `to_curve_cyclic` to output something other than a `CubicCurve`, although changing this in the future may be useful. See below. A notable omission here is that `CyclicCubicGenerator` is not implemented for `CubicBezier`. This is not a gap waiting to be filled — `CubicBezier` just doesn't have enough data to join its start with its end without just making up the requisite control points wholesale. In all the cases where `CyclicCubicGenerator` has been implemented here, the fashion in which the ends are connected is quite natural and follows the semantics of the associated spline construction. ### Future direction There are two main things here: 1. We should investigate whether we should do something similar for NURBS. I just don't know that much about NURBS at the moment, so I regarded this as out of scope for the PR. 2. We may eventually want to change the output type of `CyclicCubicGenerator::to_curve_cyclic` to a type which reifies the cyclic nature of the curve output. This wasn't done in this PR because I'm unsure how much value a type-level guarantee of cyclicity actually has, but if some useful features make sense only in the case of cyclic curves, this might be worth pursuing.

Disallow empty cubic and rational curves (#14382) # Objective Previously, our cubic spline constructors would produce `CubicCurve`/`RationalCurve` output with no data when they themselves didn't hold enough control points to produce a well-formed curve. Attempting to sample the resulting empty "curves" (e.g. by calling `CubicCurve::position`) would crash the program (😓). The objectives of this PR are: 1. Ensure that the curve output of `bevy_math`'s spline constructions are never invalid as data. 2. Provide a type-level guarantee that `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve` actually function as curves. ## Solution This has a few pieces. Firstly, the curve generator traits `CubicGenerator`, `CyclicCubicGenerator`, and `RationalGenerator` are now fallible — they have associated error types, and the curve-generation functions are allowed to fail: ```rust /// Implement this on cubic splines that can generate a cubic curve from their spline parameters. pub trait CubicGenerator<P: VectorSpace> { /// An error type indicating why construction might fail. type Error; /// Build a [`CubicCurve`] by computing the interpolation coefficients for each curve segment. fn to_curve(&self) -> Result<CubicCurve<P>, Self::Error>; } ``` All existing spline constructions use this together with errors that indicate when they didn't have the right control data and provide curves which have at least one segment whenever they return an `Ok` variant. Next, `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve` have been blessed with a guarantee that their internal array of segments (`segments`) is never empty. In particular, this field is no longer public, so that invalid curves cannot be built using struct instantiation syntax. To compensate for this shortfall for users (in particular library authors who might want to implement their own generators), there is a new method `from_segments` on these for constructing a curve from a list of segments, failing if the list is empty: ```rust /// Create a new curve from a collection of segments. If the collection of segments is empty, /// a curve cannot be built and `None` will be returned instead. pub fn from_segments(segments: impl Into<Vec<CubicSegment<P>>>) -> Option<Self> { //... } ``` All existing methods on `CyclicCurve` and `CubicCurve` maintain the invariant, so the direct construction of invalid values by users is impossible. ## Testing Run unit tests from `bevy_math::cubic_splines`. Additionally, run the `cubic_splines` example and try to get it to crash using small numbers of control points: it uses the fallible constructors directly, so if invalid data is ever constructed, it is basically guaranteed to crash. --- ## Migration Guide The `to_curve` method on Bevy's cubic splines is now fallible (returning a `Result`), meaning that any existing calls will need to be updated by handling the possibility of an error variant. Similarly, any custom implementation of `CubicGenerator` or `RationalGenerator` will need to be amended to include an `Error` type and be made fallible itself. Finally, the fields of `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve` are now private, so any direct constructions of these structs from segments will need to be replaced with the new `CubicCurve::from_segments` and `RationalCurve::from_segments` methods. --- ## Design The main thing to justify here is the choice for the curve internals to remain the same. After all, if they were able to cause crashes in the first place, it's worth wondering why safeguards weren't put in place on the types themselves to prevent that. My view on this is that the problem was really that the internals of these methods implicitly relied on the assumption that the value they were operating on was *actually a curve*, when this wasn't actually guaranteed. Now, it's possible to make a bunch of small changes inside the curve struct methods to account for that, but I think that's worse than just guaranteeing that the data is valid upstream — sampling is about as hot a code path as we're going to get in this area, and hitting an additional branch every time it happens just to check that the struct contains valid data is probably a waste of resources. Another way of phrasing this is that even if we're only interested in solving the crashes, the curve's validity needs to be checked at some point, and it's almost certainly better to do this once at the point of construction than every time the curve is sampled. In cases where the control data is supplied dynamically, users would already have to deal with empty curve outputs basically not working. Anecdotally, I ran into this while writing the `cubic_splines` example, and I think the diff illustrates the improvement pretty nicely — the code no longer has to anticipate whether the output will be good or not; it just has to handle the `Result`. The cost of all this, of course, is that we have to guarantee that the new invariant is actually maintained whenever we extend the API. However, for the most part, I don't expect users to want to do much surgery on the internals of their curves anyway.

Cyclic splines (#14106) # Objective Fill a gap in the functionality of our curve constructions by allowing users to easily build cyclic curves from control data. ## Solution Here I opted for something lightweight and discoverable.

In cases where the control data is supplied dynamically, users would already have to deal with empty curve outputs basically not working. Anecdotally, I ran into this while writing the `cubic_splines` example, and I think the diff illustrates the improvement pretty nicely — the code no longer has to anticipate whether the output will be good or not; it just has to handle the `Result`. The cost of all this, of course, is that we have to guarantee that the new invariant is actually maintained whenever we extend the API. However, for the most part, I don't expect users to want to do much surgery on the internals of their curves anyway.

Cyclic splines (#14106) # Objective Fill a gap in the functionality of our curve constructions by allowing users to easily build cyclic curves from control data. ## Solution Here I opted for something lightweight and discoverable. There is a new `CyclicCubicGenerator` trait with a method `to_curve_cyclic` which uses splines' control data to create curves that are cyclic. For now, its signature is exactly like that of `CubicGenerator` — `to_curve_cyclic` just yields a `CubicCurve`: ```rust /// Implement this on cubic splines that can generate a cyclic cubic curve from their spline parameters. /// /// This makes sense only when the control data can be interpreted cyclically. pub trait CyclicCubicGenerator<P: VectorSpace> { /// Build a cyclic [`CubicCurve`] by computing the interpolation coefficients for each curve segment. fn to_curve_cyclic(&self) -> CubicCurve<P>; } ``` This trait has been implemented for `CubicHermite`, `CubicCardinalSpline`, `CubicBSpline`, and `LinearSpline`: <img width="753" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 8 58 27 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/69ae0802-3b78-4fb9-b73a-6f842cf3b33c"> <img width="628" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 9 00 14 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/2992175a-a96c-40fc-b1a1-5206c3572cde"> <img width="606" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 8 59 36 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/9e99eb3a-dbe6-42da-886c-3d3e00410d03"> <img width="603" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 8 59 01 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/d037bc0c-396a-43af-ab5c-fad9a29417ef"> (Each type pictured respectively with the control points rendered as green spheres; tangents not pictured in the case of the Hermite spline.) These curves are all parametrized so that the output of `to_curve` and the output of `to_curve_cyclic` are similar. For instance, in `CubicCardinalSpline`, the first output segment is a curve segment joining the first and second control points in each, although it is constructed differently. In the other cases, the segments from `to_curve` are a subset of those in `to_curve_cyclic`, with the new segments appearing at the end. ## Testing I rendered cyclic splines from control data and made sure they looked reasonable. Existing tests are intact for splines where previous code was modified. (Note that the coefficient computation for cyclic spline segments is almost verbatim identical to that of their non-cyclic counterparts.) The Bezier benchmarks also look fine. --- ## Changelog - Added `CyclicCubicGenerator` trait to `bevy_math::cubic_splines` for creating cyclic curves from control data. - Implemented `CyclicCubicGenerator` for `CubicHermite`, `CubicCardinalSpline`, `CubicBSpline`, and `LinearSpline`. - `bevy_math` now depends on `itertools`. --- ## Discussion ### Design decisions The biggest thing here is just the approach taken in the first place: namely, the cyclic constructions use new methods on the same old structs. This choice was made to reduce friction and increase discoverability but also because creating new ones just seemed unnecessary: the underlying data would have been the same, so creating something like "`CyclicCubicBSpline`" whose internally-held control data is regarded as cyclic in nature doesn't really accomplish much — the end result for the user is basically the same either way. Similarly, I don't presently see a pressing need for `to_curve_cyclic` to output something other than a `CubicCurve`, although changing this in the future may be useful. See below. A notable omission here is that `CyclicCubicGenerator` is not implemented for `CubicBezier`. This is not a gap waiting to be filled — `CubicBezier` just doesn't have enough data to join its start with its end without just making up the requisite control points wholesale. In all the cases where `CyclicCubicGenerator` has been implemented here, the fashion in which the ends are connected is quite natural and follows the semantics of the associated spline construction. ### Future direction There are two main things here: 1. We should investigate whether we should do something similar for NURBS. I just don't know that much about NURBS at the moment, so I regarded this as out of scope for the PR. 2. We may eventually want to change the output type of `CyclicCubicGenerator::to_curve_cyclic` to a type which reifies the cyclic nature of the curve output. This wasn't done in this PR because I'm unsure how much value a type-level guarantee of cyclicity actually has, but if some useful features make sense only in the case of cyclic curves, this might be worth pursuing.

Disallow empty cubic and rational curves (#14382) # Objective Previously, our cubic spline constructors would produce `CubicCurve`/`RationalCurve` output with no data when they themselves didn't hold enough control points to produce a well-formed curve. Attempting to sample the resulting empty "curves" (e.g. by calling `CubicCurve::position`) would crash the program (😓). The objectives of this PR are: 1. Ensure that the curve output of `bevy_math`'s spline constructions are never invalid as data. 2. Provide a type-level guarantee that `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve` actually function as curves. ## Solution This has a few pieces. Firstly, the curve generator traits `CubicGenerator`, `CyclicCubicGenerator`, and `RationalGenerator` are now fallible — they have associated error types, and the curve-generation functions are allowed to fail: ```rust /// Implement this on cubic splines that can generate a cubic curve from their spline parameters. pub trait CubicGenerator<P: VectorSpace> { /// An error type indicating why construction might fail. type Error; /// Build a [`CubicCurve`] by computing the interpolation coefficients for each curve segment. fn to_curve(&self) -> Result<CubicCurve<P>, Self::Error>; } ``` All existing spline constructions use this together with errors that indicate when they didn't have the right control data and provide curves which have at least one segment whenever they return an `Ok` variant. Next, `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve` have been blessed with a guarantee that their internal array of segments (`segments`) is never empty. In particular, this field is no longer public, so that invalid curves cannot be built using struct instantiation syntax. To compensate for this shortfall for users (in particular library authors who might want to implement their own generators), there is a new method `from_segments` on these for constructing a curve from a list of segments, failing if the list is empty: ```rust /// Create a new curve from a collection of segments. If the collection of segments is empty, /// a curve cannot be built and `None` will be returned instead. pub fn from_segments(segments: impl Into<Vec<CubicSegment<P>>>) -> Option<Self> { //... } ``` All existing methods on `CyclicCurve` and `CubicCurve` maintain the invariant, so the direct construction of invalid values by users is impossible. ## Testing Run unit tests from `bevy_math::cubic_splines`. Additionally, run the `cubic_splines` example and try to get it to crash using small numbers of control points: it uses the fallible constructors directly, so if invalid data is ever constructed, it is basically guaranteed to crash. --- ## Migration Guide The `to_curve` method on Bevy's cubic splines is now fallible (returning a `Result`), meaning that any existing calls will need to be updated by handling the possibility of an error variant. Similarly, any custom implementation of `CubicGenerator` or `RationalGenerator` will need to be amended to include an `Error` type and be made fallible itself. Finally, the fields of `CubicCurve` and `RationalCurve` are now private, so any direct constructions of these structs from segments will need to be replaced with the new `CubicCurve::from_segments` and `RationalCurve::from_segments` methods. --- ## Design The main thing to justify here is the choice for the curve internals to remain the same. After all, if they were able to cause crashes in the first place, it's worth wondering why safeguards weren't put in place on the types themselves to prevent that. My view on this is that the problem was really that the internals of these methods implicitly relied on the assumption that the value they were operating on was *actually a curve*, when this wasn't actually guaranteed. Now, it's possible to make a bunch of small changes inside the curve struct methods to account for that, but I think that's worse than just guaranteeing that the data is valid upstream — sampling is about as hot a code path as we're going to get in this area, and hitting an additional branch every time it happens just to check that the struct contains valid data is probably a waste of resources. Another way of phrasing this is that even if we're only interested in solving the crashes, the curve's validity needs to be checked at some point, and it's almost certainly better to do this once at the point of construction than every time the curve is sampled.

Cyclic splines (#14106) # Objective Fill a gap in the functionality of our curve constructions by allowing users to easily build cyclic curves from control data. ## Solution Here I opted for something lightweight and discoverable. There is a new `CyclicCubicGenerator` trait with a method `to_curve_cyclic` which uses splines' control data to create curves that are cyclic. For now, its signature is exactly like that of `CubicGenerator` — `to_curve_cyclic` just yields a `CubicCurve`: ```rust /// Implement this on cubic splines that can generate a cyclic cubic curve from their spline parameters. /// /// This makes sense only when the control data can be interpreted cyclically. pub trait CyclicCubicGenerator<P: VectorSpace> { /// Build a cyclic [`CubicCurve`] by computing the interpolation coefficients for each curve segment. fn to_curve_cyclic(&self) -> CubicCurve<P>; } ``` This trait has been implemented for `CubicHermite`, `CubicCardinalSpline`, `CubicBSpline`, and `LinearSpline`: <img width="753" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 8 58 27 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/69ae0802-3b78-4fb9-b73a-6f842cf3b33c"> <img width="628" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 9 00 14 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/2992175a-a96c-40fc-b1a1-5206c3572cde"> <img width="606" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 8 59 36 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/9e99eb3a-dbe6-42da-886c-3d3e00410d03"> <img width="603" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 8 59 01 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/d037bc0c-396a-43af-ab5c-fad9a29417ef"> (Each type pictured respectively with the control points rendered as green spheres; tangents not pictured in the case of the Hermite spline.) These curves are all parametrized so that the output of `to_curve` and the output of `to_curve_cyclic` are similar. For instance, in `CubicCardinalSpline`, the first output segment is a curve segment joining the first and second control points in each, although it is constructed differently. In the other cases, the segments from `to_curve` are a subset of those in `to_curve_cyclic`, with the new segments appearing at the end. ## Testing I rendered cyclic splines from control data and made sure they looked reasonable. Existing tests are intact for splines where previous code was modified. (Note that the coefficient computation for cyclic spline segments is almost verbatim identical to that of their non-cyclic counterparts.) The Bezier benchmarks also look fine. --- ## Changelog - Added `CyclicCubicGenerator` trait to `bevy_math::cubic_splines` for creating cyclic curves from control data. - Implemented `CyclicCubicGenerator` for `CubicHermite`, `CubicCardinalSpline`, `CubicBSpline`, and `LinearSpline`. - `bevy_math` now depends on `itertools`. --- ## Discussion ### Design decisions The biggest thing here is just the approach taken in the first place: namely, the cyclic constructions use new methods on the same old structs. This choice was made to reduce friction and increase discoverability but also because creating new ones just seemed unnecessary: the underlying data would have been the same, so creating something like "`CyclicCubicBSpline`" whose internally-held control data is regarded as cyclic in nature doesn't really accomplish much — the end result for the user is basically the same either way. Similarly, I don't presently see a pressing need for `to_curve_cyclic` to output something other than a `CubicCurve`, although changing this in the future may be useful. See below. A notable omission here is that `CyclicCubicGenerator` is not implemented for `CubicBezier`. This is not a gap waiting to be filled — `CubicBezier` just doesn't have enough data to join its start with its end without just making up the requisite control points wholesale. In all the cases where `CyclicCubicGenerator` has been implemented here, the fashion in which the ends are connected is quite natural and follows the semantics of the associated spline construction. ### Future direction There are two main things here: 1. We should investigate whether we should do something similar for NURBS. I just don't know that much about NURBS at the moment, so I regarded this as out of scope for the PR. 2. We may eventually want to change the output type of `CyclicCubicGenerator::to_curve_cyclic` to a type which reifies the cyclic nature of the curve output. This wasn't done in this PR because I'm unsure how much value a type-level guarantee of cyclicity actually has, but if some useful features make sense only in the case of cyclic curves, this might be worth pursuing.

This choice was made to reduce friction and increase discoverability but also because creating new ones just seemed unnecessary: the underlying data would have been the same, so creating something like "`CyclicCubicBSpline`" whose internally-held control data is regarded as cyclic in nature doesn't really accomplish much — the end result for the user is basically the same either way. Similarly, I don't presently see a pressing need for `to_curve_cyclic` to output something other than a `CubicCurve`, although changing this in the future may be useful. See below. A notable omission here is that `CyclicCubicGenerator` is not implemented for `CubicBezier`. This is not a gap waiting to be filled — `CubicBezier` just doesn't have enough data to join its start with its end without just making up the requisite control points wholesale. In all the cases where `CyclicCubicGenerator` has been implemented here, the fashion in which the ends are connected is quite natural and follows the semantics of the associated spline construction. ### Future direction There are two main things here: 1. We should investigate whether we should do something similar for NURBS. I just don't know that much about NURBS at the moment, so I regarded this as out of scope for the PR. 2. We may eventually want to change the output type of `CyclicCubicGenerator::to_curve_cyclic` to a type which reifies the cyclic nature of the curve output. This wasn't done in this PR because I'm unsure how much value a type-level guarantee of cyclicity actually has, but if some useful features make sense only in the case of cyclic curves, this might be worth pursuing.

Cyclic splines (#14106) # Objective Fill a gap in the functionality of our curve constructions by allowing users to easily build cyclic curves from control data. ## Solution Here I opted for something lightweight and discoverable. There is a new `CyclicCubicGenerator` trait with a method `to_curve_cyclic` which uses splines' control data to create curves that are cyclic. For now, its signature is exactly like that of `CubicGenerator` — `to_curve_cyclic` just yields a `CubicCurve`: ```rust /// Implement this on cubic splines that can generate a cyclic cubic curve from their spline parameters. /// /// This makes sense only when the control data can be interpreted cyclically. pub trait CyclicCubicGenerator<P: VectorSpace> { /// Build a cyclic [`CubicCurve`] by computing the interpolation coefficients for each curve segment. fn to_curve_cyclic(&self) -> CubicCurve<P>; } ``` This trait has been implemented for `CubicHermite`, `CubicCardinalSpline`, `CubicBSpline`, and `LinearSpline`: <img width="753" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 8 58 27 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/69ae0802-3b78-4fb9-b73a-6f842cf3b33c"> <img width="628" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 9 00 14 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/2992175a-a96c-40fc-b1a1-5206c3572cde"> <img width="606" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 8 59 36 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/9e99eb3a-dbe6-42da-886c-3d3e00410d03"> <img width="603" alt="Screenshot 2024-07-01 at 8 59 01 PM" src="https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/assets/2975848/d037bc0c-396a-43af-ab5c-fad9a29417ef"> (Each type pictured respectively with the control points rendered as green spheres; tangents not pictured in the case of the Hermite spline.)

In the other cases, the segments from `to_curve` are a subset of those in `to_curve_cyclic`, with the new segments appearing at the end. ## Testing I rendered cyclic splines from control data and made sure they looked reasonable.
