JoinedCurve

JoinedCurve
represents a curve consisting of followed by etc.
JoinedCurve
represents a list of separate component curves , , etc.
MORE INFORMATION
  • Possible forms of include:
Line[{pt1,pt2,...}]lines
BezierCurve[{pt1,pt2,...},...]Bézier curve
BSplineCurve[{pt1,pt2,...},...]B-spline curve
  • The setting JoinedCurve[{component1, component2, ...}, CurveClosed->{close1, close2, ...}] specifies whether individual component curves should be closed.
  • The coordinates can be specified using:
{x,y}ordinary coordinates
Scaled[{x,y}]scaled coordinates
ImageScaled[{x,y}]image-scaled coordinates
Offset[{dx,dy},{x,y}]absolute offset coordinates
  • Individual coordinates and lists of coordinates in segments can be Dynamic objects.
  • Joining of curve segments can be specified using JoinForm.
  • Curve caps can be specified using CapForm.
