NurbsCurve

class compas.geometry.NurbsCurve(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Bases: Curve

A NURBS curve is defined by control points, weights, knots, and a degree.

Parameters

name (str, optional) – The name of the curve.

Attributes
  • points (list[Point], read-only) – The control points.

  • weights (list[float], read-only) – The weights of the control points.

  • knots (list[float], read-only) – The knots, without multiplicity.

  • knotsequence (list[float], read-only) – The complete knot vector.

  • multiplicity (list[int], read-only) – The multiplicities of the knots.

  • continuity (int, read-only) – The degree of continuity of the curve.

  • degree (int, read-only) – The degree of the curve.

  • order (int, read-only) – The order of the curve (degree + 1).
