.SH PARAMETERS
_phead(_param1)
Specifies the NURBS object (created with _cmnd(NewNurbsRenderer)).
_phead(_param2)
Specifies the number of knots in _param3.
_param2 equals the number of control points plus the order.
_phead(_param3)
Specifies an array of _param2 nondecreasing knot values.
_phead(_param4)
Specifies the offset (as a number of single-precision floating-point values)
between successive curve control points.
_phead(_param5)
Specifies a pointer to an array of control points. The coordinates must
agree with _param7, specified below.
_phead(_param6)
Specifies the order of the NURBS curve. _param6 equals degree + 1, hence
a cubic curve has an order of 4.
_phead(_param7)
Specifies the type of the curve. If this curve is defined within a
_cmnd(BeginCurve)/_cmnd(EndCurve) pair, then
the type can be any of the valid
one-dimensional evaluator types (such as _const(MAP1_VERTEX_3) or
_const(MAP1_COLOR_4)). Between a _cmnd(BeginTrim)/_cmnd(EndTrim) pair,
the only valid types are _gluconst(MAP1_TRIM_2) and _gluconst(MAP1_TRIM_3).
.SH DESCRIPTION
Use _cmnd to describe a NURBS curve.
.P
When _cmnd appears between a _cmnd(BeginCurve)/_cmnd(EndCurve) pair, it is
used to describe a curve to be rendered.
Positional, texture, and color coordinates are associated
by presenting each as a separate _cmnd between a
_cmnd(BeginCurve)/_cmnd(EndCurve) pair. No more than
one call to _cmnd for each of color, position, and texture
data can be made within a single _cmnd(BeginCurve)/_cmnd(EndCurve)
pair. Exactly one call must be made to describe the position of the
curve (a _param7 of _const(MAP1_VERTEX_3) or _const(MAP1_VERTEX_4)).
.P
When _cmnd appears between a _cmnd(BeginTrim)/_cmnd(EndTrim) pair, it is
used to describe a trimming curve on a NURBS surface. If _param7 is
_gluconst(MAP1_TRIM_2), then it describes a curve in two-dimensional (\f2u\fP
and \f2v\fP)
parameter space. If it is _gluconst(MAP1_TRIM_3), then it describes a
curve in two-dimensional homogeneous (\f2u\fP, \f2v\fP, and \f2w\fP)
parameter space.
See the _cmnd(BeginTrim) reference page for more discussion about trimming
curves.
.SH EXAMPLE
The following commands render a textured NURBS curve with normals:
.sp
.Ex
gluBeginCurve(nobj);
gluNurbsCurve(nobj, ..., GL_MAP1_TEXTURE_COORD_2);
gluNurbsCurve(nobj, ..., GL_MAP1_NORMAL);
gluNurbsCurve(nobj, ..., GL_MAP1_VERTEX_4);
gluEndCurve(nobj);
.Ee
.sp
.SH NOTES
To define trim curves which stitch well, use _cmnd(PwlCurve).
