Extend the start or end of the input curve. There are two methods used to specify where to extend to (extendMethod). The curve can be extended given a distance or given a point to extend to. In addition, the extension can be a linear, circular, or cubic segment (extendType). The extension can be joined to the original curve (join) and any unnecessary multiple knots at that join can be removed (removeMultKnots).

outputCurve (oc)	nurbsCurve	NULL
The extended curve
removeMultipleKnots (rmk)	bool	false
If true remove multiple knots at join Used only if join is true.
