A Curve
is a one-dimensional geometry, usually represented by a sequence of points. Particular subclasses of Curve
define the type of interpolation between points. Curve
is a noninstantiable class.
Curve
Properties
A Curve
has the coordinates of its points.
A Curve
is defined as a one-dimensional geometry.
A Curve
is simple if it does not pass through the same point twice, with the exception that a curve can still be simple if the start and end points are the same.
A Curve
is closed if its start point is equal to its endpoint.
The boundary of a closed Curve
is empty.
The boundary of a nonclosed Curve
consists of its two endpoints.
A Curve
that is simple and closed is a LinearRing
.
