CreateCurve
Creates a curve of the specified degree.
Note: This command uses output
arguments. C# and some scripting languages (such as JScript,
PerlScript and Python) don't support arguments passed by reference
so you need to use the best workaround for your situation:
For scripting languages this command returns an ISIVTCollection which you can
use to get the output arguments.
For C# you can use the XSIApplication.ExecuteCommand
method to call this command. ExecuteCommand packs the output
arguments into a C# System.Object containing an Array of the output arguments (see
Calling
Commands from C#).
CreateCurve( [Degree], CurveType, [Points], [Local], [Value] ); |
| Parameter | Type | Description | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Degree | Integer | Degree of curve
Default Value: 3
|
||||||
| CurveType | Integer | Specifies whether the curve is interpolated
Default Value: 1
|
||||||
| Points | String | Comma-separated list of points. At least one point is necessary. For example, "(0,1,0),(0,2,0),(3,3,0)". | ||||||
| Local | Boolean | True if points are in local coordinates, False if they are in
global coordinates.
Default Value: False |
||||||
| Value | X3DObject | Returns the curve |
