BezierSpan

This object represents a bezier span in a Contour. It is derived from the Span class and all methods and properties of the span class are valid on this object as well. As well as creating spans to append to a contour you can use the BezierTo methods to avoid span creation.

Constructors

BezierSpan( Point2D start_pt, Point2D end_pt, Point2D ctrl_pt_1, Point2D ctrl_pt_1)

A new span representing a bezier is created within a Lua script using this contructor method

start_pt – Point2D – 2D position for start point of span

end_pt – Point2D – 2D position for end point of span - must have same Z values as start

ctrl_pt_1 - Point2D – 2D position for first control point

ctrl_pt_2 - Point2D – 2D position for second control point

  e.g  

  local start_pt = Point2D(0,   0)
  local end_pt   = Point2D(1.0, 0)
  local ctrl_1   = Point2D(0.2, 0.2) 
  local ctrl_2   = Point2D(0.8, 0.2)  
  local bez_span = BezierSpan(start_pt, end_pt, ctrl_1, ctrl_2)    

---

BezierSpan( Point3D start_pt, Point3D end_pt, Point2D ctrl_pt_1, Point2D ctrl_pt_1)

A new span representing a bezier is created within a Lua script using this constructor method

start_pt - Point3D – 3D position for start point of span

end_pt - Point3D – 3D position for end point of span- must have same Z values as start

ctrl_pt_1 - Point2D – 2D position for first control point

ctrl_pt_2 - Point2D – 2D position for second control point

 e.g  

  local start_pt = Point3D(0,   0, 0) 
  local end_pt   = Point3D(1.0, 0, 0) 
  local ctrl_1   = Point2D(0.2, 0.2) 
  local ctrl_2   = Point2D(0.8, 0.2)  
  local bez_span = BezierSpan(start_pt, end_pt, ctrl_1, ctrl_2)
