Describes a single knot in a spline.
It is used by plug-ins to get and set knot information in the Spline3D class. This is primarily here for backward-compatibility with versions prior to MAXr3. In 3ds Max 2.0 and later there are methods which provide full access to the private data members of the class. All methods of this class are implemented by the system. To understand this class better, picture a bezier spline with three knots, going from left to right:
A—>AB-—BA<—B—>BC-—CB<—C The knot points are A, B and C. The vectors are labeled the same as patch vectors (AB is the vector from A going toward B, the vector from B to A is labeled BA, and so on). In this diagram, AB is the OUT vector for knot A. BA is the IN vector for knot B. BC is the OUT vector for knot B, and CB is the IN vector for knot C. Because this is an open spline, knot A doesn't use its IN vector, and knot C doesn't use its OUT vector. The IN and OUT terminology is based on the way a spline flows from the first knot to the last. If the spline is reversed, the IN and OUT sense is reversed, as well. Regarding the vectors, the only difference between a circle and a square is that the square has vectors that are at the same location as the knot point (in other words, zero length vectors) causing sharp corners. The circle uses vectors which cause each segment to bulge to form a quarter-circle. Take a look at the /MAXSDK/SAMPLES/OBJECTS/NGON.CPP source file for an example of how the vectors are generated to form a linear NGON versus a circular one.
