Hypercurve is a library allowing you to combine several curve algorithms into a single 2D envelope. It is designed to be used in audio applications, for people who know how to enjoy a finely shaped curve. As shown above, you can perfectly combine gaussian curve with diocles cissoid curve, and plenty of other curve algorithms. The library can be used in C++, Lua, Csound and Faust.

# What is it ?

Hypercurve is a library allowing you to combine several curve algorithms into a single 2D envelope. It is designed to be used in audio applications, for people who know how to enjoy a finely shaped curve. 
As shown above, you can perfectly combine gaussian curve with diocles cissoid curve, and plenty of other curve algorithms. 
The library can be used in C++, Lua, Csound and Faust.

Every curve algorithm is different. In audio applications, we use to assign envelopes to any kind of parameter. In computer music, the way a value goes up and down in time has a big influence on how we hear a sound. Thus, the possibility to create finely shaped envelopes is truly essential. This is the purpose of Hypercurve.

The above hypercurve is a combination of 1/8 diocles curve, 1/8 toxoid curve, 2/8 mouth curve, and 4/8 gauss curve.

## Implemented curve algorithms

- Cissoid (Diocles curve) 
- Cubic 
- Power curve (choose your power of x)
- Bezier (Cubic & Quadratic)
- Cubic Spline - Not implemented in Csound yet
- Catmull Rom Spline
- Hanning / Hamming / Blackamn
- Gauss 
- Toxoid (aka duplicatrix_cubic)
- Catenary (aka funicular)
- Tightrope Walker curve  
- Mouth curve
- Bicorn curve
- Easing curves - from https://github.com/ai/easings.net - translated to C++
- Typed curves : inspired from Csounds [GEN16](http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/GEN16.html)
- User defined curves - pass it a function (or a lambda in C++), that returns y for any x between 0 and 1. Not implemented in Csound.

## How to install, and make it work

Go to [Releases](https://github.com/johannphilippe/hypercurve/releases), and download the latest version.

### Csound install

To install HYPERCURVES opcodes for Csound, the recommanded way is to move the csound_hypercurve library to the plugins repository of Csound.

Usually, the following instructions will work. If Csound is installed in another location, just change the following path :

* On Windows, move `csound_hypercurve.dll` to `C:/Program Files/Csound6_x64/plugins64/`. 
* On MacOS, move `libcsound_hypercurve.dylib` to `/Library/Frameworks/CsoundLib64.framework/Versions/6.0/Resources/Opcodes64`
* On Linux (debian), move `libcsound_hypercurve.so` to `/usr/local/lib/csound/plugins64/`

### Lua use

On every OS Hypercurve is compiled for, you can write a lua script using Hypercurve in the Hypercurve directory and just use it from the terminal with `./luajit myscript.lua`. Just change `myscript.lua` to the name of your script. 
On Windows, it should be ̀`./luajit.exe myscript.lua`.

## How to use it

There are three ways to use it : in C++, Csound, Faust or in Lua. Cmake will help you build libraries that can be used in those languages. You will find C++ example under hypercurve_test/test.cpp, Csound example under csound_opcode/test.csd, and Lua example under lua_module/test.lua.

The basic syntax stands as follow : 
* `hypercurve(integer size, double y_start, {segment_list});`
Where `size` is the size in samples, `y_start` is the starting point of the curve, and segment list is a list of segments. 
*  `segment(double frac, double y_destination, curve_type crv);`
Where `frac` is the fractional size of the segment (fraction between 0 and 1), `y_destination` is the target point, and `crv`  a curve algorithm picked from hypercurve.

## A simple C++ example

```c++
#include"hypercurve.h"
using namespace hypercurve;
const int definition = 16384;
double y_start = 0;
curve c(definition, y_start, 
	{
		// segment(fractional_size, y_destination, curve
		segment(fraction(1,2), 1.0, share(cissoid_curve(1))),
		segment(0.5, 0.0, share(blackman_curve()))
	}); 
// Then access samples with double *get_samples() 
c.get_samples();
```

## A simple Csound example

```csound
instr 1
	icrv = hc_hypercurve(2048, 0, 
				hc_segment(1/2, 1, hc_diocles_curve(1)),
				hc_segment(1/2, 0, hc_hanning_curve()))
	kenv = tablei:k(linseg:k(0, p3, 1), icrv, 1)
	ao = vco2(0.3, 300) * kenv
	outs(ao, ao)
endin
```

## A simple Lua example

```lua
package.cpath = package.cpath .. ";/your/path/to/hypercurve/?.so;"
local hc = require("liblua_hypercurve")
local definition = 16384
local y_start = 0
local crv = hc.hypercurve(definition, y_start, 
	{
		hc.segment(1/2, 1.0, hc.cissoid_curve(1.0)),
		hc.sement(1/2, 0.0, hc.cubic_curve(0.0))
	})
// Write as 24 bits 48KHz wav
hc.write_as_wav("path/to/outfile.wav", crv)
```

## A simple Faust example

```Faust
hc = library("hypercurve.lib");
definition = 16384;
y_start = 0;
curve = hc.hypercurve(definition, y_start  (
	hc.segment(1/2, 1.0, hc.cissoid_curve(1.0)),
	hc.segment(1/2, 0.0, hc.cubic_curve)
));

// Run with interpolation
env = hc.runi(curve, os.phasor(1, 1));
```

# Build

First clone the repo with submodules : 
``` git clone https://github.com/johannphilippe/hypercurve.git --recurse-submodules ```
You should check that Lua is installed on your system. If it is not, or if compilation retrns error, you should install a Lua 5.1 version to the standard installation path. Make sure you have the dynamic library installed, and the headers `lauxlib.h` and `lua.h` are available on your system.
Then : 
```
cd hypercurve
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. -DBUILD_ALL=TRUE
make
```
If you just want to build for Faust, Lua or Csound, then just use 
```
cmake .. -DBUILD_CSOUND_OPCODE=TRUE
cmake .. -DBUILD_LUA_MODULE=TRUE
cmake .. -DBUILD_FAUST_LIB=TRUE
```
On some platforms (e.g. Windows) you might need to set the Lua paths with the following options :
```
cmake .. -DBUILD_LUA_MODULE=TRUE -DLUA_INCLUDE_DIR=/you/dir/include -DLUA_LIBRARIES=/path/to/lua.lib
```

Windows build for Lua is a bit more complicated, due to the way Windows searches for dynamic libraries. Wheter you provide `LUA_LIBRARIES` yourself or let CMake find it, you will need the `.lib` and `.dll` libraries of Lua to share the same name (except the extension) and the same path (as it is the case in standard Lua distributions). This will allow CMake to copy the Lua `.dll` dynamic library next to `lua_hypercurve` in the bin folder.

In order to build the Faust library, you will need [Quom](https://pypi.org/project/quom/) to be installed in your system. See the Faust [README](faust_lib/README.md)

The PNG writer [fpng](https://github.com/richgel999/fpng) used for hypercurve has SSE support. This can be enabled with `-DSSE=1`.

The resulting binaries will all be located in `bin` directory. On Windows, `lua_hypercurve.dll` and `hypercurve.dll` require `sndfile.dll` to be in the same folder. `lua_hypercurve.dll` also requires the Lua `.dll` you linked against (e.g. `lua5.1.dll`). 
This must be considered when packaging the library to be embedded or used by another application.

# WASM/WASI  port

After hours of tests, I'm struggling with this. I have not much knowledge about web, neither about Web Assembly. 
I probably need help.

# TODO

* Interpolating curve parameters : something like `hc_diocles(hc_linspace(0.5 , 1, 1024))` to create interpolating parameters with hypercurve itself
* Remove "_curve" suffix from everywhere (useless)

* To fix : Lagrange polynomial returns nan, and doesn't scal well
* Fixed : Major scaling issue when creating complex curves (going down after being more than 1)
* To fix : remove #include OpcodeBase.cpp 
* Move to template (float or double or long double)
* Same for Csound -> MYFLT instead of double

Ideas : 
* Inversion across the axis of another curve 
* Rename vinvert to reflect the fact it's not vertical symmetry, but linear axis vertical reflection
* Implement real vertical symmetry
* Implement that for full curves also
* Reflect those changes to doc

* Subdivide segments (only take an upsampled half for example)
* Interp(0.25) returns an interpolation of two curves (crv1 * 0.25, crv2 * 0.75)
* extract curve  -> subsample from audio, or another method (based on relevant samples)
* Abs for waveforms
* Virtual 3D manipulation (rotate z axis, but in reality the curve is still 2D)

* Improve hc_resize to resize curve without creating new one (temp memory)
* Documentation on hc_resize, and hc_cubic_spline_curve
* Propagate resize to Lua, Faust and C++ api

* Csound Gen automatic number : does not take "f" statements into account (collision)
* Expose random generators to frontends (Lua, Csound, Faust).
* Lagrange interpolation for curve extraction ?

## Curves to implement
* Cardioid / hypercardioid
* Elastic curve : https://mathcurve.com/courbes2d.gb/linteaire/linteaire.shtml
* Simple log/exp ?
* Kulp quartic
* Puntiforme https://mathcurve.com/courbes2d/puntiforme/puntiforme.shtml
* Legendre polynome
* Ideas here https://mathcurve.com/courbes2d/courbes2d.shtml

Try to read about splines : 
* Akima Spline 
* Cubic hermite spline
* Cardinal Spline
* Kochanek-Bartels spline
* Monotone cubic interpolation
* Non-uniform rational B-spline (widely used in graphics)
* Smoothing spline
* Polyharmonic spline
* https://kluge.in-chemnitz.de/opensource/spline/

About smoothing : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothing
* Laplace or Lidstone smoothing 
* Kernel smoother : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_smoother
* Local regression : 
* Ramer–Douglas–Peucker algorithm - decimation to a smaller number of points - used in cartography. Could be interesting to determine where to cut curves.
## AI Hypercurves

NOTE : Start with markov models training first, not to burn your hands.
Find an environment : C++ ? Ruby (lack audio libs..) ? Python (lack hypercurve support) ? Lua (lack everything else support) ?

Idea to implement a nn or another ML stuff to generate Hypercurves with a prior : 
* Prior : generates curves
* No prior : reacts with curves to audio input (will be delayed, since curve is a large scale compared to audio)

* First create a dataset with audio
* Take RMS of audio and determine curve boundaries 
	* Other parameters could be possible (like check the filtering by finding the resonant - most powerful - frequency, or f0)
* Train model
	- With labels : hypercurves 
	- Without : with test to see which one fits best (difference of curves, or something more sophisticated)
	- 
* Try RAVE with interpolated unipolar audio examples (wont work because it is thought to make fast changes for audio construction) ?

# External libraries
