I created a spline object (set to Linear) to which I added the following COFFEE code, through a COFFEE tag:> <code>

Do you actually need to set segments?
The little spline making I do, I only set the points w/o problems.Cheers

My example creates a letter A. It has an inverted V shape and a crossed line. So, segments are the obvious way to do it, if I only want a single spline.
Anyways, I really would like to know if it is possible to create multi-segment splines in COFFEE. And, if it is, how... because this seems not to be working.Rui Batista

Ah, I see, of coarse. Should be good to see a solution as I haven't
used multi-segments myself yet..Cheers

It's a bug in Cinema's spline segment handling.

Must be fixed!!!
While it is being fixed, some more improvements could be added to COFFEE

Hi folks.
The work around for this bug is to work the code on an existing (or duplicated) spline that is segmented already. Then the segment array will work, once the sum of the points for the new segment equals the new point count.

Turned out it's not a bug but you were missing to check for a SegmentTag. The segment information is stored the SegmentTag. YOu have to allocate a new SegmentTag before sending the VariableChanged message.
Fixed code
