weightslist[float], read-only

The weights of the control points.

knotslist[float], read-only

The knots, without multiplicity.

knotsequencelist[float], read-only

The complete knot vector.

multiplicitylist[int], read-only

The multiplicities of the knots.

continuityint, read-only

The degree of continuity of the curve.

degreeint, read-only

The degree of the curve.

orderint, read-only

The order of the curve (degree + 1).
