## Detailed Description

An algorithm to convert a BSpline curve into a series of adjacent Bezier curves. A BSplineCurveToBezierCurve object provides a framework for:

- defining the BSpline curve to be converted
- implementing the construction algorithm, and
- consulting the results. References : Generating the Bezier points of B-spline curves and surfaces (Wolfgang Bohm) CAD volume 13 number 6 november 1981

Computes all the data needed to convert.

- the BSpline curve BasisCurve, into a series of adjacent Bezier arcs. The result consists of a series of BasisCurve arcs limited by points corresponding to knot values of the curve. Use the available interrogation functions to ascertain the number of computed Bezier arcs, and then to construct each individual Bezier curve (or all Bezier curves). Note: ParametricTolerance is not used.

Handle< Geom2d_BezierCurve > Geom2dConvert_BSplineCurveToBezierCurve::Arc | ( | const Standard_Integer | Index | ) |

Constructs and returns the Bezier curve of index Index to the table of adjacent Bezier arcs computed by this algorithm. This Bezier curve has the same orientation as the BSpline curve analyzed in this framework. Exceptions Standard_OutOfRange if Index is less than 1 or greater than the number of adjacent Bezier arcs computed by this algorithm.

void Geom2dConvert_BSplineCurveToBezierCurve::Arcs | ( | TColGeom2d_Array1OfBezierCurve & | Curves | ) |

Constructs all the Bezier curves whose data is computed by this algorithm and loads these curves into the Curves table. The Bezier curves have the same orientation as the BSpline curve analyzed in this framework. Exceptions Standard_DimensionError if the Curves array was not created with the following bounds:

- 1 , and
- the number of adjacent Bezier arcs computed by this algorithm (as given by the function NbArcs).

void Geom2dConvert_BSplineCurveToBezierCurve::Knots | ( | TColStd_Array1OfReal & | TKnots | ) | const

This methode returns the bspline's knots associated to the converted arcs Raises DimensionError if the length of Curves is not equal to NbArcs + 1.

Standard_Integer Geom2dConvert_BSplineCurveToBezierCurve::NbArcs | ( |  | ) | const

Returns the number of BezierCurve arcs. If at the creation time you have decomposed the basis curve between the parametric values UFirst, ULast the number of BezierCurve arcs depends on the number of knots included inside the interval [UFirst, ULast]. If you have decomposed the whole basis B-spline curve the number of BezierCurve arcs NbArcs is equal to the number of knots less one.
