CurveDeviation

Returns the minimum and maximum deviation between two curve objects. For more information on curve deviation, see the Rhino help file for the CrvDeviation command.

Syntax

Rhino.CurveDeviation (strCurveA, strCurveB)

Parameters

strCurveA	Required. String. The identifier of the first curve object.
strCurveB	Required. String. The identifier of the second curve object.

Returns

Array

An array of numbers identifying the minimum and maximum deviation between the two curves if successful.

Element	Type	Description
0	Number	Curve A parameter at maximum overlap distance point
1	Number	Curve B parameter at maximum overlap distance point
2	Number	Maximum overlap distance
3	Number	Curve A parameter at minimum distance point
4	Number	Curve B parameter at minimum distance point
5	Number	Minimum distance between curves

Null

On error or if no intervals of overlap were found.

Example

Dim strCurveA, strCurveB, arrDeviation

strCurveA = Rhino.GetObject("Select first curve to test", 4)

strCurveB = Rhino.GetObject("Select second curve to test", 4)

arrDeviation = Rhino.CurveDeviation(strCurveA, strCurveB)

If IsArray(arrDeviation) Then

Rhino.Print "Minimum deviation = " & CStr(arrDeviation(5))

Rhino.Print "Maximum deviation = " & CStr(arrDeviation(2))

End If
