Description

Creates a series of points spaced along all, or a portion, of an existing curve. The points are spaced along the curve using the geometric progression calculation method. This method spaces points along a curve where the space between points increases geometrically based on a ratio value.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

GEOM

Minor word that indicates that the points are spaced using the Geometric Progression Method.

ent

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.

RATIO

Minor word that indicates that the value in the following field is the ratio value.

r

A positive numerical value which represents the ratio used to increase the distance between points as they are spaced along the curve.

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.
