GL3.2 for AIX: Graphics Library (GL) Technical Reference

crv Subroutine

Purpose

Draws a cubic spline curve.

Libraries

Graphics Library

C (libgl.a)

FORTRAN (libfgl.a)

C Syntax

void crv(Coord points[4][3])

FORTRAN Syntax

SUBROUTINE CRV(points)
REAL points(3,4)

Description

The crv subroutine draws a cubic spline curve segment (defined by the submitted points) according to the current curve basis and precision.

Parameter

points Array containing the four points that define the curve. These must be 3-D points with x, y, and z coordinates for each point.

Example

The example C language program curve1.c uses the crv subroutine, after changing the curve basis and precision for each curve, to draw three curves.

Implementation Specifics

This subroutine is part of GL in the AIXwindows Environment/6000 Version 1, Release 2 with AIXwindows/3D Feature.
