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.

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 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.
