curve
closeCurve is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The closeCurve command closes a curve, making it periodic.
The pathname to the newly closed curve and the name
of the resulting dependency node are returned. If a curve
is not specified in the command, then the first active curve
will be used.

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Argument types |
Properties |
-preserveShape(-ps)
|
int
|
  
|
|
0 - without preserving the shape
1 - preserve shape
2 - blend
Default: 1
|
|
-blendBias(-bb)
|
float
|
|
|
Skew the result toward the first or the second curve depending
on the blend value being smaller or larger than 0.5.
Default: 0.5
|
|
-blendKnotInsertion(-bki)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If set to true, insert a knot in one of the original curves
(relative position given by the parameter attribute below)
in order to produce a slightly different effect.
Default: false
|
|
-parameter(-p)
|
float
|
|
|
The parameter value for the positioning of the newly inserted knot.
Default: 0.1
|
|
| Advanced flags |
-caching(-cch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
|
|
-nodeState(-nds)
|
int
|
|
|
Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
|
|
| Common flags |
-name(-n)
|
string
|
|
|
Name the resulting object
|
|
-constructionHistory(-ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Turn the construction history on or off
|
|
-object(-o)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Create the result, or just the dependency node
|
|
-replaceOriginal(-rpo)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Create "in place" (i.e., replace)
|
|
-curveOnSurface(-cos)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If possible, create 2D curve as a result
|
|
|
Flag can appear in Create mode of command
|
Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
|
|
Flag can appear in Query mode of command
|
Flag can be used more than once in a command.

closeCurve -ch on -ps on curve1;
// Closes curve1 with history and by preserving shape. The result will
// be the name of the closed curve, and the name of the newly created
// dependency node.
closeCurve -ch on -ps off curve1;
// Closes curve1 with history and will not preserve the shape of the
// curve.
closeCurve -ch on -rpo on curve1;
// Closes curve1 with history and replaces the original curve with
// the closed one.
