BSplineSurface3d Class

BSplineSurface3d is a parametric surface in xyz space.

  • This (BSplineSurface3d) is an unweighted surface. Use the separate class BSplineSurface3dH for a weighted surface.

The various static "create" methods have subtle differences in how grid sizes are conveyed: | Method | control point array | counts | | create | flat array of [x,y,z] | arguments numPolesU, numPolesV | | createGrid | array of array of [x,y,z ] | There are no numPolesU or numPolesV args. The counts are conveyed by the deep arrays |
