curveb(3G)curveb(3G)NAMEcurveb - selects a basis matrix used to draw curves
FORTRAN 77 SPECIFICATION
subroutine curveb(basid)
integer*4 basid
PARAMETERS
basid expects the basis identifier of the basis matrix you want to use
when drawing a curve. (You must have previously called defbas to
assign a basis identifier to a basis matrix.)
DESCRIPTIONcurveb selects a basis matrix (by its basis identifier) as the current
basis matrix to draw curve segments. The basis matrix determines how the
system uses the control points when drawing a curve. Depending on the
basis matrix, the system draws bezier curves, cardinal spline curves, b-
spline curves and others. The system does not restrict you to a limited
set of basis matrices. You can define basis matrices to match whatever
constraints you want to place on the curve.
