Description

draw_nurbs_interpdraw_nurbs_interpDrawNurbsInterpDrawNurbsInterpDrawNurbsInterp returns the contour ContOutContOutContOutContOutcontOut of a NURBS curve of degree DegreeDegreeDegreeDegreedegree, which has been created interactively by the user in the window WindowHandleWindowHandleWindowHandleWindowHandlewindowHandle using interpolation. That means, that the user specifies a set of points and the operator computes the parameters of a NURBS curve that includes this points. By contrast, using the Operator draw_nurbsdraw_nurbsDrawNurbsDrawNurbsDrawNurbs it is possible to create a NURBS curve by drawing its control polygon.

In addition to ContOutContOutContOutContOutcontOut, the control information of the curve (ControlRowsControlRowsControlRowsControlRowscontrolRows, ControlColsControlColsControlColsControlColscontrolCols, and KnotsKnotsKnotsKnotsknots), the interpolation points (RowsRowsRowsRowsrows, ColsColsColsColscols) specified by the user and the tangents at the first and the last point (TangentsTangentsTangentsTangentstangents) are returned. TangentsTangentsTangentsTangentstangents consists of four values. The first two values correspond to the y (row) and the x (column) value of the tangent at the start of the curve and the second two values to the tangent at the end of the curve, respectively.

The weight vector is not returned because it consists of equal entries. As a consequence, one can use 'auto'"auto""auto""auto""auto" as weight vector if the control information is used in a subsequent call to the operator gen_contour_nurbs_xldgen_contour_nurbs_xldGenContourNurbsXldGenContourNurbsXldGenContourNurbsXld. For more information on NURBS see the documentation of gen_contour_nurbs_xldgen_contour_nurbs_xldGenContourNurbsXldGenContourNurbsXldGenContourNurbsXld.

Directly after calling draw_nurbs_interpdraw_nurbs_interpDrawNurbsInterpDrawNurbsInterpDrawNurbsInterp, you can add interpolation points by clicking with the left mouse button in the window at the desired positions. If enough points are specified (at least DegreeDegreeDegreeDegreedegree-1), a NURBS curve that goes through all specified points (in the order of their generation) is computed and displayed.

When there are three points or more, the first and the last point will be marked with an additional square. By clicking on them you can close the curve or open it again. You delete the point appended last by pressing the Ctrl key.

The tangents (i.e. the first derivative of the curve) of the first and the last point are displayed as lines. They can be modified by dragging their ends using the mouse.

Existing points can be moved by dragging them with the mouse. Further new points on the curve can be inserted by a left click on the desired position on the curve.

By pressing the Shift key, you can switch into the transformation mode. In this mode you can rotate, move, and scale the curve as a whole, but only if you set the parameters RotateRotateRotateRotaterotate, MoveMoveMoveMovemove, and ScaleScaleScaleScalescale, respectively, to 'true'"true""true""true""true". Instead of the pick points and the two tangents, 3 symbols are displayed with the curve: a cross in the middle and an arrow to the right if RotateRotateRotateRotaterotate is set to 'true'"true""true""true""true", and a double-headed arrow to the upper right if ScaleScaleScaleScalescale is set to 'true'"true""true""true""true".

You can

By pressing the Shift key again you can switch back to the edit mode. Pressing the right mouse button terminates the procedure. On macOS draw_nurbs_interpdraw_nurbs_interpDrawNurbsInterpDrawNurbsInterpDrawNurbsInterp can also be terminated by pressing the escape key.

The appearance of the curve while drawing is determined by the line width, size, and color set via the operators set_colorset_colorSetColorSetColorSetColor, set_coloredset_coloredSetColoredSetColoredSetColored, set_line_widthset_line_widthSetLineWidthSetLineWidthSetLineWidth, and set_line_styleset_line_styleSetLineStyleSetLineStyleSetLineStyle. The tangents and all handles are displayed in the second color set by set_colorset_colorSetColorSetColorSetColor or set_coloredset_coloredSetColoredSetColoredSetColored. Their line width is fixed to 1 and their line style is fixed to a drawn-through line.

Attention

In contrast to draw_nurbsdraw_nurbsDrawNurbsDrawNurbsDrawNurbs, each point specified by the user influences the whole curve. Thus, if one point is moved, the whole curve can and will change. To minimize this effects, it is recommended to use a small degree (3-5) and to place the points such that they are approximately equally spaced. In general, uneven degrees will perform slightly better than even degrees.
