PK_ERROR_code_t PK_CURVE_spin
(
--- received arguments ---
PK_CURVE_t curve, --- curve to spin
const PK_AXIS1_sf_t *axis, --- axis around which to spin curve
--- returned arguments ---
PK_SURF_t *const surf --- spun surface
)
This function spins a curve to form a surface.
Specific Errors
PK_ERROR_impossible_spin cannot determine spun geometry
PK_ERROR_unsuitable_entity not one of the allowed curve types
PK_ERROR_su_self_intersect surface would be self intersecting
The curve must be of one of the following classes:
PK_CLASS_line
PK_CLASS_circle
PK_CLASS_ellipse
PK_CLASS_bcurve
The function will attempt to return the simplest surface which is coincident
with the surface formed by spinning the given curve around the given axis.
If the given curve is not an orphan, then the resulting surface will be
created as construction geometry in the owning part.
