16 | <code class="function">gluPwlCurve</code> describes a piecewise linear trimming curve for a NURBS surface. | |
17 | A piecewise linear curve consists of a list of | |
18 | coordinates of points in the parameter space for the | |
19 | NURBS surface to be trimmed. These points are connected | |
20 | with line segments to form a curve. If the curve is | |
21 | an approximation to a curve that is not piecewise linear, | |
22 | the points should be close enough in parameter space that the | |
23 | resulting path appears curved at the resolution used in the application. | |
24 | </p><p> | |
25 | If <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em> is | |
26 | <code class="constant">GLU_MAP1_TRIM_2</code>, then it describes a curve in two-dimensional (<span class="emphasis"><em>u</em></span> | |
27 | and <span class="emphasis"><em>v</em></span>) parameter space. If it is <code class="constant">GLU_MAP1_TRIM_3</code>, then it | |
28 | describes a curve in two-dimensional homogeneous (<span class="emphasis"><em>u</em></span>, <span class="emphasis"><em>v</em></span>, | |
29 | and <span class="emphasis"><em>w</em></span>) parameter space. | |
30 | See the <a class="citerefentry" href="gluBeginTrim.xml"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">gluBeginTrim</span></span></a> reference page for more information | |
31 | about trimming curves. | |
