FitCurve

Reduces the number of curve control points while maintaining the curve's same general shape.  Use this function for replacing curves with too many control points.  For more information, see the Rhino help file for the FitCrv command.

Syntax

rhinoscriptsyntax.FitCurve (curve_id, degree=3, distance_tolerance=-1, angle_tolerance=-1)

rhinoscript.curve.FitCurve (curve_id, degree=3, distance_tolerance=-1, angle_tolerance=-1)

Parameters

curve_id

Required.  String or Guid.  The object's identifier.

degree

Optional.  Number.  The curve degree, which must be greater than 1. The default is 3.

distance_tolerance

Optional.  Number.  The fitting tolerance.  If distance_tolerance is not specified or <= 0.0, the document absolute tolerance is used.

angle_tolerance

Optional.  Number.  The kink smoothing tolerance in degrees.  If angle_tolerance is 0.0, all kinks are smoothed.  If angle_toleranceis > 0.0, kinks smaller than angle_toleranceare smoothed.  If angle_toleranceis not specified or < 0.0, the document angle tolerance is used for the kink smoothing.

Returns

Guid

The identifier of the new object if successful.

None

If not successful, or on error.

Example

import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs

oldCurve = rs.GetObject("Select curve to fit", rs.filter.curve)

if oldCurve:

    newCurve = rs.FitCurve(oldCurve)

    if newCurve: rs.DeleteObject(oldCurve)
