Detailed Description

Represents Geometric Constraint Data class.

    <br> 
   This class acts as a container of various types of geometric constraints such as
   position(G0), tangent(G1), tangent magnitude, curvature(G2) and curvature derivative(G3).
   An array of objects of this class may be used to create a curve. Not all features support
   all types of constraints. For details of the supported types by a feature, refer to feature
   documentation. Position is a minimum required element of <b>GeometricConstraintData</b>.
    <br> 

    <br> 
   <b>GeometricConstraintData</b> can be specified as automatic or fixed type.
    <br> 

    <br> 
   Automatic type - <br>  <br> 
   When a point (G0) is attached to an object such as curve or a face, constraint types
   such as tangent, curvature or curvature derivative can be automatically inferred
   from the attached object. In this case the tangent direction is determined by some
   scheme decided by the feature. To specify automatic type
   @link Features::GeometricConstraintData::AutoConstraintType Features::GeometricConstraintData::AutoConstraintType@endlink  
   and @link Features::GeometricConstraintData::ParameterDirection Features::GeometricConstraintData::ParameterDirection@endlink 
   are necessary.
    <br> 

    <br> 
   Fixed type - <br>  <br> 
   To specify <b>GeometricConstraintData</b> as a fixed type, the actual
   objects representing different types of constraints such as @link Direction Direction@endlink 
   for tangent, @link Scalar Scalar@endlink  for tangent magnitude or
   @link Offset Offset@endlink  for curvature or curvature derivative are specified.
    <br> 
<br> To create a new instance of this class, use @link Features::GeometricConstraintDataManager::CreateGeometricConstraintData  Features::GeometricConstraintDataManager::CreateGeometricConstraintData @endlink  <br>
