NAME

rcrvn − draws a series of curve segments

SPECIFICATION

C
rcrvn(n, geom)
long n;
Coord geom[][4];

FORTRAN
subroutine rcrvn(n, geom)
integer*4 n
real geom(4,n)

Pascal
procedure rcrvn(n: longint: var geom: Coord);

DESCRIPTION

rcrvn draws a series of rational cubic spline curve segments using the current basis and precision.  The control points specified in geom determine the shapes of the curve segments and are used four at a time.  For example, if n is 6, three curve segments are drawn, the first using points 0,1,2,3 as control points, and the second and third segments are controlled by points 1,2,3,4 and 2,3,4,5, respectively.  If the current basis is a B-spline, Cardinal spline, or basis with similar properties, the curve segments are joined end to end and appear as a single curve.
