Bspline

A bspline curve or surface is used for curved freeform geometry defined by controls points (sometimes called poles).

  • BSplineCurve -- a curve in XYZ coordinates
  • BSplineSurfaceXYZ -- a surface with XYZ
  • BsplineSurfaceXYZW -- a surface with weighted (rational) XYZ coordinates
  • KnotVector -- vector of breakpoints in bspline definitions.
