                          throws OTSGeometryException

Approximate a clothoid with curvature 0 at start.

Parameters:

start - OTSPoint3D; starting point of the clothoid

startDirection - Direction; start direction of the clothoid

endCurvature - double; curvature at the end of the clothoid [1/m]

endElevation - Length; elevation at end of the clothoid

numSegments - int; number of segments used to approximate (the number of points is one higher than this)

Returns:

OTSLine3D; the clothoid

Throws:

OTSGeometryException - if the number of segments is too low
