Equal Parameter Method

Synopsis

CPSET/EPARAM,obj,n[,PART,a,b],results

Description

Creates a series of points spaced along all, or a portion, of an existing curve. The points are equally spaced along the curve using a parameter calculation method. This method uses the parameter spaces of the curve to calculate the point spacing. In curves with radical changes in curvature, this may produce undesirable results, and the Arc Length Method should be used.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

EPARAM

Minor word that indicates that the points are spaced using the Equal Parameter 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.
