Returns an Array of control points for this NURBS component.
Depending on the geometry type of the 3D object, the returned array will be
either 2- or 3-dimensional:
If the component is a NurbsCurve, a 2D array of [X,Y,Z,W]
values is returned. If the component is a NurbsSurface, a
3D array is returned.
Note: The indexing to access an array element is different depending on the
language you use due to the fact that C++ arrays are arranged in memory
differently than safearrays.
- C++: [U] [V] [X,Y,Z,W]
- Scripting: [X,Y,Z,W] [V] [U]
In order for the memory mapping to be consistent between C++ and scripting, the
safearray indexing is always the reverse of the C++ indexing, as shown above.
