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
