Spring Curve Design

---

Application developers may need to define blends that follow particular spring curves. The desired spring curves must first be imprinted on the body, then an entity-entity blend set on the body which is capable of following a smooth edge sequence. The user can create a tool body with which to slice the body to be blended. Particular sections of this slice can then be imprinted on the blend body.

ABL provides utilities for designing and imprinting these spring curves. These include the APIs api_abh_slice, and api_abh_imprint.
