NurbCurve3d(Int32, KnotCollection, Point3dCollection, Boolean) Constructor

Constructor for the NurbCurve3d class. Constructs a 3D curve according to the passed parameters.

Namespace: Teigha.Geometry
Assembly: TD_Mgd (in TD_Mgd.dll) Version: 24.2.0.0

Syntax

public NurbCurve3d(
        int degree,
        KnotCollection knots,
        Point3dCollection controlPoints,
        bool periodic
)

Public Sub New ( 
        degree As Integer,
        knots As KnotCollection,
        controlPoints As Point3dCollection,
        periodic As Boolean
)

public:
NurbCurve3d(
        int degree, 
        KnotCollection^ knots, 
        Point3dCollection^ controlPoints, 
        bool periodic
)

new : 
        degree : int * 
        knots : KnotCollection * 
        controlPoints : Point3dCollection * 
        periodic : bool -> NurbCurve3d

Parameters

degree Int32: [in] Curve degree.
knots KnotCollection: [in] Knot collection.
controlPoints Point3dCollection: [in] Collection of control points.
periodic Boolean: [in] Flag that specifies whether to make the curve periodic (a closed curve).

Remarks

High degree values make the curve more flexible. For example, degree of 1 is used to define a segment, and degree of 2 is used to define a NURBS circle, etc. A knot vector defines a sequence of parameter values that determine where and how the control points affect the curve. The knot vector is a sequence of parameter values and divides the parametric space into intervals, usually called knot spans. Values of the knot vector must be provided in ascending order, for example: (0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3) can be valid while (0, 0, 2, 0, 3, 1, 3, 3) is not valid. The control points specify the placement of the curve and adjust its shape. The quantity of control points must be at least the degree + 1. If isPeriodic is false, knots.length() must equal controlPoints.length() + degree + 1. If isPeriodic is true, knots.length() must equal controlPoints.length(), and the first and last controlPoints must be equal.
