Hi,

i am trying to modify a spline but facing a problem while trying to just pass the point coordinates. so the result should look unchanged, right, but i am getting strange result (for example a circle is returned as a 4-leaves-flower)?

heres my code:

  
//get the spline  
          splineObj = (SplineObject* )userSpline->GetClone(COPY_NO_BITS, NULL);  
          padr = ToPoint(splineObj)->GetPointW();  
          pc = ToPoint(splineObj)->GetPointCount();  
//cycle thru the points  
              for (int j=0;j<pc;j++)  
              {  
                  ust = splineObj->GetSplinePoint(j,0,NULL);  
                  padr[j] = ust;  
              }

another question i have is how i can access parametric splines as for now it only works with converted spline objects.

thanks for any input..

cheers,
ello

another spline problem i am facing is this (see screenshot).. what may be responsible for this thing?
no matter if i use Tbspline or Tlinear or any other type. interpolation it Inone (others dont change this, too)

would be cool if someone could point me to what may be causing it..

cheers and thanks in advance,
ello

btw, i've thought about a tangent problem, but setting the tangents to whatever value doesnt change anything here...

I don't know what you are trying to accomplish. Your code actually makes little sense to me.

Besides that it is not necessary to use ToPoint() on SplineObject objects. Also you are using GetSplinePoint() wrong. As first parameter you have to pass a Real value between 0.0-1.0, from start to end.

Parametric splines can be accessed by converting them to their current state. Also have a look at the SplineHelp library.

As for the last problem I have no idea what you are doing

cheers,
Matthias

i managed to create the new spline based on the linked one. below my script which generally works, aside from that it has a memory leak i cannot fix:

  
      if(userSpline)      
      {            
          splineObj = (SplineObject* )userSpline->GetClone(COPY_NO_BITS, NULL);  
          if (modifyUspline)  
          {  
              newSpline = SplineObject::Alloc(steps*10,Tlinear);  
              sbc = newSpline->GetDataInstance();  
              sbc->SetBool(SPLINEOBJECT_CLOSED,splineObj->GetDataInstance()->GetBool(SPLINEOBJECT_CLOSED));  
              sbc->SetBool(SPLINEOBJECT_INTERPOLATION,Inone);  
              padr = newSpline->GetPointW();  
              for (int sc = 0; sc<steps*10; sc++)  
              {  
                  ccpos = (1.0/(steps*10))*sc;  
                  vPosition = splineObj->GetSplinePoint(ccpos, 0, NULL);  
                  padr[sc] = vPosition;  
              }  
              splineObj = newSpline;  
              //if (newSpline) blDelete(newSpline);  
          }  
      }

if i dont copy the newSpline over to splineObj i can use blDelete and the memory leaks are gone. however, newSpline is ment only as a helper spline and thus i want to copy the created newSpline to splineObj which is used afterwards in the plugin...

what am i doing wrong?
