Geometrical Class Inheritance

---

Dtk_Point

Dtk_Point is a Geometrical 3D point.
Possible constructors :

Dtk_PointPtr Create(const Dtk_pnt& inToCopy);
Dtk_PointPtr Create(const Dtk_Double64 & inX, const Dtk_Double64 & inY, const Dtk_Double64 & inZ);

Dtk_Curve

Dtk_Curve is a geometrical entity representing a curve. It is an abstract class that cannot be instantiated.
It has several utility methods:

• GetDomain allows you to get the whole definition domain for the curve.

  Dtk_ErrorStatus GetDomain(Dtk_Double64& outUmin,Dtk_Double64& outUmax) const;

• SetTrimmingParameters, GetTrimUMin, GetTrimUMax allow you to specify or get the used domain for the curve.

  Dtk_ErrorStatus SetTrimmingParameters(const Dtk_Double64& inUmin,const Dtk_Double64& inUmax);
  Dtk_Double64 GetTrimUMin() const;
  Dtk_Double64 GetTrimUMax() const;

• ToNurbs converts the curve into a nurbs curve.
• ToPolyline converts the curve into a polyline.
