Functions for working with curves

Function Documentation

HAPI_DECL HAPI_GetCurveCounts	(	const HAPI_Session *	session,
		HAPI_NodeId	node_id,
		HAPI_PartId	part_id,
		int *	counts_array,
		int	start,
		int	length
	)

Retrieve the number of vertices for each curve in the part.

Parameters

[in]	session	The session of Houdini you are interacting with. See Sessions for more on sessions. Pass NULL to just use the default in-process session.
[in]	node_id	The node id.
[in]	part_id	The part id.
[out]	counts_array	The number of cvs each curve contains
[in]	start	The index of the first curve.
[in]	length	The number of curves' counts to retrieve.

HAPI_DECL HAPI_GetCurveInfo	(	const HAPI_Session *	session,
		HAPI_NodeId	node_id,
		HAPI_PartId	part_id,
		HAPI_CurveInfo *	info
	)

Retrieve any meta-data about the curves, including the curve's type, order, and periodicity.

Parameters

[in]	session	The session of Houdini you are interacting with. See Sessions for more on sessions. Pass NULL to just use the default in-process session.
[in]	node_id	The node id.
[in]	part_id	The part id.
[out]	info	The curve info represents the meta-data about the curves, including the type, order, and periodicity.

HAPI_DECL HAPI_GetCurveKnots	(	const HAPI_Session *	session,
		HAPI_NodeId	node_id,
		HAPI_PartId	part_id,
		float *	knots_array,
		int	start,
		int	length
	)

Retrieve the knots of the curves in this part.

Parameters

[in]	session	The session of Houdini you are interacting with. See Sessions for more on sessions. Pass NULL to just use the default in-process session.

[out]	knots_array	The knots of each curve will be returned in this array.
[in]	start	The index of the first curve.
[in]	length	The number of curves' knots to retrieve. The length of all the knots on a single curve is the order of that curve plus the number of vertices (see HAPI_GetCurveOrders(), and HAPI_GetCurveCounts()).
