Get P-Spline Parameterization Data Example (C#)

This example shows how to get P-spline parameter data for a selected spline or curve.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1.  Open <SolidWorks_install_dir>\samples\tutorial\molds\telephone.sldprt.
// 2.  Select a curved edge of Shell1 in the graphics area.
// 3.  Rename the namespace to match the name of your C# project.
// 4.  Open an Immediate Window.
//
// Postconditions:
// View the following information about the selected spline

// in the Immediate Window:
//     * dimension
//          1-D:  X
//          2-D:  X, Y
//          3-D:  X, Y, Z
//          4-D:  X, Y, Z, W (where W is the weight of the control point)
//     * order (degree + 1)
//     * periodicity
//     * number of knots
//     * number of segments
//     * coefficients in each segment polynomial
//           # coefficients = (segment count) X (dimension) X (count)
//     * spline style: color, layer, layer override, line style, line weight
