CPSET/EARCL,obj,n[,PART,a,b],results
Creates a series of points spaced along all, or a portion, of an existing curve. The points are equally spaced along the curve using an arc length calculation method. This method calculates the length of each segment along the curve and is most useful for curve which contain radical changes in curvature. For simple spacing, however, the Equal Parameter Method may prove faster.

Description |
|
EARCL |
Minor word that indicates that the points are spaced using the Equal Arc Length Method. |
|
obj |
An existing object or object variable which represents the object that the points are spaced along. |
|
n |
A positive numerical value or variable which represents the number of points desired. |
|
PART |
Minor word that indicates that the points are to be spaced along a portion of the curve. |
|
a |
A numerical value or variable between 0 and 1 which represents the parameter distance along the curve where the point spacing begins (this is also where the first point is created). |
|
b |
A numerical value or variable between 0 and 1 which represents the parameter distance along the curve where the point spacing ends (this is also where the last point is created). |
|
results |
An object variable or array to which the created points are assigned. |
