Surface.IsoCurve

Public Class

Gets isoparametric curve.

Namespace: Rhino.Geometry

Assembly: RhinoCommon (in RhinoCommon.dll)

**Since:**5.0

Syntax

public Curve IsoCurve(
  int direction,
  double constantParameter
)

Parameters

direction

Type:System.Int32
0 first parameter varies and second parameter is constant e.g., point on IsoCurve(0,c) at t is srf(t,c) This is a horizontal line from left to right 1 first parameter is constant and second parameter varies e.g., point on IsoCurve(1,c) at t is srf(c,t This is a vertical line from bottom to top.

constantParameter

Type:System.Double
The parameter that was constant on the original surface.

Return Value

Type: Curve
An isoparametric curve or null on error.

Remarks

In this function “direction” indicates which direction the resulting curve runs. 0: horizontal, 1: vertical In the other Surface functions that take a “direction” argument, “direction” indicates if “constantParameter” is a “u” or “v” parameter.
