Return Value

The return value is an array of doubles containing data for all the splines in the sketch block definitioni.

The first two array elements for each spline contain 4 integer values holding information that describes the rest of the data in that splines parameters:

where: 

• Dim is the number of dimensions the spline is defined in

• Order is the order of the spline

• nCtrlPoints is the number of control points

• Periodic is 1 for a closed spline or 0 for an open spline

The number of knots depends on whether the spline is periodic or not:

The last three array elements for each spline contain 5 integer values holding style and layer information:

where: 

• i is the index following the last Knot or [2 + numKnots + numControlPointDoubles * Dim]

• Color is the COLORREF value describing the color used for the ith spline

• lineStyle is the line style used for the ith spline. Valid values can be found in the swLineStyles_e enumeration

• lineWidth is line width used for the ith spline. Valid values can be found in the swLineWeights_e enumeration

• Layer is an integer index to the layer that the ith spline is on

• layerOverride is integer with bit flags set to determine which properties, if any, have been overridden or should be overridden.

Therefore, the size of the data for each spline is given by:

2 + numKnots + numControlPointDoubles * Dim + 3

The ControlPoint data (in the sketch coordinate system) follows the 2 packed data elements, the Knot points, and, finally, the last 3 packed data elements. Subsequent splines follow one another in the array.

[ packedDouble1, packedDouble2, ControlPoint1[Dimension elements], ControlPoint2[Dimension elements],... knot1, knot2,..., packedDouble3, packedDouble4, packedDouble5, ]
