Parameters

XExpression

For a parametric curve, equation for x in terms of t; for an explicit curve, an empty string (see Remarks)

YExpression

For a parametric curve, equation for y in terms of t; for an explicit curve, equation for y in terms of x (see Remarks)

ZExpression

Equation for z in terms of t (see Remarks)

RangeStart

Start value for x, if explicit; start value for t, if parametric (see Remarks)

RangeEnd

End value for x, if explicit; start value for t, if parametric (see Remarks)

IsAngleRange

True if the range and x value represent an angle (in radians), false if not (see Remarks)

RotationAngle

Rotation angle (in radians) for the curve (see Remarks)

XOffset

Translation in the x direction of the curve  (see Remarks)

YOffset

Translation in the y direction of the curve (see Remarks)

LockStart

True to lock the start point (RangeStart) of the curve, false to not

LockEnd

True to lock the end point (RangeEnd) of the curve, false to not

Return Value

2D explicit curve:

     A parabola    y = x^2

     CreateEquationSpline2("", "x^2", "", "-5", "5", False, 0, 0, 0, True, True)

2D parametric curve:

     A spiral   x = t*sin(t); y = t*cos(t)

     CreateEquationSpline2("t*sin(t)", "t*cos(t)", "", "0", "4*pi", False, 0, 0, 0, True, True)

3D parametric curve:

     A helix   x = sin(t); y = cos(t); z = t/5

     CreateEquationSpline2("sin(t), "cos(t)", "t/5", "0", "30", False, 0, 0, 0, True, True)

XExpression

If you want:

• an explicit curve (only in 2D) of the form y=f(x), then this input should be "".
• a parametric curve given in terms of the parameter t, then this input is the value of x given in terms of the parameter. For example:
  
  x=sin(t)

YExpression

If you want:

• an explicit curve (only in 2D) of the form y=f(x), then this input should be a function in terms of x to use to compute the value of y. For example:
  
  y=exp(x)
  
• a parametric curve given in terms of the parameter t, then this input is the value of y given in terms of the parameter. For example:
  
  y=cos(t)
  

ZExpression

For 3D parametric curves, this input is the value of z given in terms of parameter t. For example:

z = t

RangeStart and RangeEnd

Strings so that you can input dimension names or pi; for example, "10* width_dimension1" or "-pi/2".

XOffset, YOffset, IsAngleRange, and RotationAngle

In general, these parameters are not needed. They are for legacy support only. There are no equivalent 3D variables for positioning in 3D.
