Solid Edge Geometry Type Library
GetBSpline2dInfo Method
Returns the order of the referenced BSpline.
Returns the number of poles for the referenced curve.
Returns the number of knots for the referenced curve.
Returns True if the curve is rational (that is, a weight is assigned to every pole).
Returns True if the referenced curve is closed
Returns True if the referenced curve is periodic.
Description
Returns overall information related to the referenced B-Spline object.
Syntax
Visual Basic
Public Sub GetBSpline2dInfo( _
   ByRef Order As Long, _
   ByRef NumPoles As Long, _
   ByRef NumKnots As Long, _
   ByRef Rational As Boolean, _
   ByRef Closed As Boolean, _
   ByRef Periodic As Boolean _
) 
Parameters
Order
Returns the order of the referenced BSpline.
NumPoles
Returns the number of poles for the referenced curve.
NumKnots
Returns the number of knots for the referenced curve.
Rational
Returns True if the curve is rational (that is, a weight is assigned to every pole).
Closed
Returns True if the referenced curve is closed
Periodic
Returns True if the referenced curve is periodic.
Remarks
Use this method to determine the amount of memory needed to obtain the variable length information that fully defines the object.
