- [CreateCurvePreviewGeometry](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.ui.drawingutilities/createcurvepreviewgeometry.md): (static) Create a series of closed polyline loops representing a curve and a linetype combination.
- [CreateLinetypePreviewGeometryEx](https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/type/rhino.ui.drawingutilities/createlinetypepreviewgeometryex.md): (static) Preview geometry for a linetype on a curve, by channel, mirroring the viewport renderer. kind 0 returns the dash silhouette polygons with the line cleared under each shape (these are meant to be filled); kind 1 returns curve shape outlines (meant to be stroked); kind 2 returns text and surface shape outlines (meant to be filled with an even-odd rule).
