AnalyticSurfaceSegment(...)

This method creates an AnalyticSurfaceSegment object.

Path

odbAccess.AnalyticSurfaceSegment

Required arguments

type

A SymbolicConstant specifying the type of AnalyticSurfaceSegment. Possible values are START, LINE, CIRCLE, and PARABOLA.

data

A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the coordinates of point/s representing the segment of the AnalyticSurface object. If type=CIRCLE, the first row contains coordinates of the end point and the second row contains coordinates of the center point. If type=PARABOLA, the first row contains coordinates of the middle point and the second row contains coordinates of the end point. If type=START or type=LINE, a single row contains coordinates of the start/end point.

Optional arguments

None.

Return value

An AnalyticSurfaceSegment object.

Exceptions

None.

Members

The AnalyticSurfaceSegment object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the AnalyticSurfaceSegment method.
