curveb - selects a basis matrix used to draw curves
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.30. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME curveb - 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.) DESCRIPTION curveb 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. SEE ALSO crv, crvn, curvep, defbas
