SplineWeights

SplineWeights

is an option for B-spline functions and graphics primitives that specifies weights of control points.

Details

  • SplineWeights->Automatic makes all weights equal, yielding polynomial splines.
  • With SplineWeights->array, each element of array gives the weight for the corresponding control point in the array of control points specified.

Examples

open all close all

Basic Examples  (1)

Here all weights are equal:

This uses a larger weight for the third control point:

Applications  (2)

Perfect circle using B-spline curve with weights:
