Class Description

See also: Class NURBSObject, Class NURBSTrimPoint.

Description:: This class describes the properties of a NURBS curve. This includes its number of trim points and its open/closed state. The Evaluate() method is used to compute points on the curve.

All methods of this class are implemented by the system.

Data Members:: protected:

int mMatID;

This data member is available in release 3.0 and later only.
