SoIndexedNurbsCurve — indexed NURBS curve shape node
Contents
Action Behavior
SoGLRenderAction
Draws the curve based on the current coordinates, material, and so on.
SoRayPickAction
Picks the curve based on the current coordinates and transformation.
SoGetBoundingBoxAction
Computes the bounding box that encloses all control points of the curve with the current
transformation applied to them. Sets the center to the average of the control points.
SoCallbackAction
If any line segment callbacks are registered with the action, they will be invoked for each successive
segment approximating the curve.
Description
This class represents a NURBS curve based on the knot vector and the control points that you specify. The
knotVector field specifies a floating-point array of values; the values are the coordinates of the knot
points in the curve, and you must enter them in non-decreasing order. The numControlPoints field
specifies the number of control points the curve will have and will use the current coordinates that are
indexed from the coordIndex field.
You can get a curve of minimum order (2) by specifying two more knots than control points and having at
least two control points. This curve would be a set of line segments connecting the control points
together.
You can get a curve of maximum order (8) by specifying 8 more knots than control points and having at
least 8 control points. In this curve, each control point would have influence on a larger portion of the
curve than with curves of lesser order.
The control points of the curve are transformed by the current transformation matrix. The curve is drawn
with the current lighting model and drawing style (drawing style FILLED is treated as LINES). The
coordinates, normals, and texture coordinates of a NURBS curve are generated, so you cannot bind explicit
normals or texture coordinates to a NURBS curve.
The approximation of the curve by line segments is affected by the current complexity value.
Fields
SoSFInt32numControlPoints
Number of control points for the curve.
SoMFInt32coordIndex
Coordinate indices for the control points.
SoMFFloatknotVector
The knot vector for the curve. Values must be in non-decreasing order.
