- PolylineType GPOLYLINE( GeometryTreeType Object, NumericType Optimal )
-
- Converts all Curves(s), (Trimmed) Surface(s), and Trivariate(s) Object
- into polylines using the RESOLUTION variable. The larger the RESOLUTION is,
- the finer the resulting approximation will be. It returns a single polyline
- object.
-
- If Optimal is false, the points are sampled at equally spaced
- interval in the parametric space. If Optimal true, a better, more
- expensive computationally, algorithm is used to derive optimal sampling
- locations as to minimize the maximal distance between the curve and
- piecewise linear approximation (L infinity norm).
-
- Example:
-
- Polys = GPOLYLINE( list( Srf1, Srf2, Srf3, list( Crv1, Crv2, Crv3 ) ),
- on );
-
- converts to polylines the three surfaces Srf1, Srf2, and Srf3
- and the three curves Crv1, Crv2, and Crv3.
