Class BezTriple

The BezTriple object

This object gives access to generic data from all BezTriple objects in Blender.

Instance Methods

list of floats

getPoints()
Returns the x,y coordinates of the Bezier knot point (deprecated).

None

setPoints(newval)
Sets the x,y coordinates of the Bezier knot point (deprecated).

list consisting of 3 lists of 3 floats

getTriple()
Returns the x,y,z coordinates for each of the three points that make up a BezierTriple (deprecated).

Instance Variables
	handleTypes the types of the point's two handles.
int	hide the visibility status of the knot.
list of two floats	pt the [x,y] coordinates for knot point of this BezTriple.
float	radius the radius of this point (used for tapering bevels)
list of three ints	selects the select status for [handle, knot, handle].
float	tilt the tilt/alpha value for the point
list of points	vec a list of the 3 points [ handle, knot, handle ] that comprise a BezTriple, with each point composed of a list [x,y,z] of floats.
float	weight the weight assigned to the control point.

Method Details

getPoints()

Returns the x,y coordinates of the Bezier knot point (deprecated). See the BezTriple.pt attribute.

Returns: list of floats: list of the x and y coordinates of the Bezier point.

setPoints(newval)

Sets the x,y coordinates of the Bezier knot point (deprecated). See the BezTriple.pt attribute.

Parameters:

newval (tuple of 2 floats) - the x and y coordinates of the new Bezier point.

Returns: None

None

getTriple()

Returns the x,y,z coordinates for each of the three points that make up a BezierTriple (deprecated). See the BezTriple.vec attribute.

Returns: list consisting of 3 lists of 3 floats: handle1, knot, handle2

Instance Variable Details

handleTypes

the types of the point's two handles. See HandleTypes for a complete description. @type handleTypes list of two ints

hide

the visibility status of the knot. Note: true/nonzero means not hidden. Note: primarily intended for curves; not a good idea to hide IPO control points.

Type:: int

pt

the [x,y] coordinates for knot point of this BezTriple. After changing coordinates of a Ipo curve, it is advisable to call IpoCurve.recalc() to update the curve.

Type:: list of two floats

selects

the select status for [handle, knot, handle]. True/nonzero if the point is selected.

Type:: list of three ints

vec

a list of the 3 points [ handle, knot, handle ] that comprise a BezTriple, with each point composed of a list [x,y,z] of floats. The list looks like [ [H1x, H1y, H1z], [Px, Py, Pz], [H2x, H2y, H2z] ]. Example:

   # where bt is of type BezTriple
   #  and h1, p, and h2 are lists of 3 floats
   h1, p, h2 = bt.vec

Type:: list of points

weight

the weight assigned to the control point. Useful for softbodies and possibly others.

Type:: float
