pw:: SegmentSpline

pw::SegmentSpline create

This action creates a new connector spline segment object.

Parameters

none

Returns

This action returns a new pw::SegmentSpline object.

$segment get/setProjectToCommon project

This attribute controls whether the segment should be automatically projected to a database entity if all of the control points are constrained to the same database entity.

Type

A boolean where true indicates that the segment should be projected to a common pw::DatabaseEntity.

Default

The default for this attribute is false.

$segment getCommonEntity

This action gets the entity that is common to all control points.

Parameters

none

Returns

This action returns a pw::DatabaseEntity object.  An error is raised if there is no common entity.

$segment getSlope

This action gets the method for calculating the slope vector of all control points.

Parameters

none

Returns

The action returns the string type of slope calculation with options < Linear | Akima | CatmullRom | Free >.

$segment setSlope type

This action sets the method for calculating the slope vector of all control points.

Parameters

Returns

This action returns nothing.

Information

Setting the slope to type Free, converts all slopes to Free using the current actual slope vector as the explicit slope vectors

$segment getSlopeIn index

This action gets the incoming slope vector of the given control point.

Parameters

Returns

This action returns the xyz vector of the incoming slope at the given point.

$segment setSlopeIn ?-continuous? index xyz

This action sets the incoming slope vector of the given control point.

Parameters

Returns

This action returns nothing.

Information

If this action is called on a segment whose slope type is not Free, it will first be converted to a Free slope segment.

$segment getSlopeOut index

This action gets the outgoing slope vector of the given control point.

Parameters

$segment setSlopeOut ?-continuous? index xyz

This action sets the outgoing slope vector of the given control point.

Parameters

Returns

This action returns nothing.

Information

If this is called on a segment whose slope type is not Free, it will first be converted to a Free slope segment

$segment smoothPoints

This action modifies the control points of this segment by smoothing.

Parameters

none

Returns

This action returns nothing.
