X3DObject.AddNurbsCurve

Description

Creates a NurbsCurveList object composed of one curve. This is typically used for creating nurbs curves from a set of geometry data.

C# Syntax

X3DObject X3DObject.AddNurbsCurve( Object in_ControlPoints, Object in_Knots, Boolean in_bClosed, Int32 in_lDegree, siKnotParameterization in_Parameterization, siNurbsFormat in_eNurbsFormat, String in_bstrName );

Scripting Syntax

oReturn = X3DObject.AddNurbsCurve( ControlPoints, [Knots], [Closed], [Degree], [Parameterization], [NurbsFormat], [Name] );

Return Value

This method returns the X3DObject parent of this new geometry, the new X3DObject is parented under this X3DObject.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
ControlPoints 1D or 2D Array The control points used for creating the nurbs surface. The control points can be stored in a 1-dimensional array or in a 2-dimensional matrix (Ux4) of x,y,z,w values. The 1-dimensional array should contain a sequence of x,y,z,w values (e.g. {Xo,Yo,Zo,...X(n-1),Y(n-1),Z(n-1),W(n-1)}).
Knots Array of Doubles An array of knot values.

Default Value: Knots derived from control points.

Closed Boolean Specifies whether the nurbs surface is closed or not in U direction.

Default Value: False

Degree Long Degree of the nurbs surface in U direction.

Default Value: 3

Parameterization siKnotParameterization The parameterization factor of the nurbs surface in U direction.

Default Value: siNonUniformParameterization

NurbsFormat siNurbsFormat Specifies how the data is formatted.

Default Value: siSINurbs

Name String name of object
