Module Curve :: Class SurfNurb

Class SurfNurb

The SurfNurb Object

This object provides access to the control points of the surfaces that make up a Blender Curve.

The SurfNurb supports the Python iterator and sequence protocols which means you can use a python for statement or [] operator to access the points in a surface. Points are accessed linearly; for a N-by-M UV surface, the first N control points correspond to V=0, then second N to V=1, and so on.

Method Summary
List of 5 floats [x, y, z, w, t] for Poly or Nurbs	`__getitem__(n)` Get the Nth control point in the surface.
None	`__setitem__(n, point)` Set the Nth control point in the surface.

Instance Variable Summary
boolean	`cyclicU`: The cyclic setting for the U direction (True = cyclic).
boolean	`cyclicV`: The cyclic setting for the V direction (True = cyclic).
int	`flagU`: The knot flag U.
int	`flagV`: The knot flag V.
int	`orderU`: The order setting for the U direction.
int	`orderV`: The order setting for the V direction.
int	`pointsU`: The number of control points in the U direction (read only).
int	`pointsV`: The number of control points in the V direction (read only).

Method Details

getitem(n)
(Indexing operator)

Get the Nth control point in the surface.

Parameters:: n - the index of the point to return
(type=integer)

Returns:: The Nth point in the curve
(type=List of 5 floats [x, y, z, w, t] for Poly or Nurbs)

Notes:

This returned value is independent on the curve; modifying it will not affect the curve.
Each successive call returns a new object.

setitem(n, point)
(Index assignment operator)

Set the Nth control point in the surface.

Parameters:: n - the index of the point to replace
(type=integer); point - the point that will replace the one in the curve. The point is list of 4 floats in x,y,z,w (optionally tilt in radians as 5th value) format.
(type=list of 4 floats (optional 5th float is the tilt value in radians))

Returns:: None
(type=None)

Instance Variable Details

cyclicU

The cyclic setting for the U direction (True = cyclic).

Type:: boolean

cyclicV

The cyclic setting for the V direction (True = cyclic).

Type:: boolean

flagU

The knot flag U. Changing the knot type automatically recalculates the knots. The flag can be one of three values:

0 : uniform knots
1 : endpoints knots
2 : bezier knots

Type:: int

flagV

The knot flag V. See flagU for description.

Type:: int

orderU

The order setting for the U direction. Values are clamped to the range [2:6] and not greater than the U dimension.

Type:: int

orderV

The order setting for the V direction. Values are clamped to the range [2:6] and not greater than the V dimension.

Type:: int

pointsU

The number of control points in the U direction (read only).

Type:: int

pointsV

The number of control points in the V direction (read only).

Type:: int
