ParametricCurve

Create a parametric curve defined by coordinate expressions in 2D or 3D.

Syntax

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"ParametricCurve");

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).set(property,<value>);

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).getType(property);

model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).feature(<ftag>).importData();

Description

Use model.component(<ctag>).geom(<tag>).create(<ftag>,"ParametericCurve") to create a parametric curve. Self-intersecting curves are not supported, except the case of a closed curve (that is, when the starting point and endpoint coincide). The following properties are available:

Table 3-79: Valid Property/Value Pairs
Property	Value	Default	Description
axis	double[]	{0,0,1}	Direction of the z-axis of the local coordinate system. Vector has length 3 if axistype is cartesian, and length 2 if axistype is spherical.
axistype	x \| y \| z \| cartesian \| spherical	z	Coordinate system used for axis. The value is synchronized with axis.
color	none \| custom \| integer between 1 and the number of colors in the current theme	none	The color of the selection, either given as an integer indicating a color in the color theme, or as a custom color in the customcolor property. Coloring is only available when selresult in active.
coord	String[2] \| String[3]	empty	Coordinates of parametric curve as function of parameter.
customcolor	RGB-triplet	Next available theme color	The color to use. Active when color is set to custom.
maxknots	int	1000	Maximum number of knots.
parname	String	s	Parameter name.
parmax	double	1	Maximum parameter value.
parmin	double	0	Minimum parameter value.
pos	double[]	{0,0,0}	Position of the object.
reparameterize	true \| false	false	Reparameterize the curve using the arc length.
rot	double	0	Rotational angle about axis.
