ccCreatePolyCurve

ccCreatePolyCurve(
l_segments
[ ?close { t | nil } ]
[ ?smoothness S_smoothness ]
) 
=> o_polyCurve / nil

Description

(Virtuoso Photonics Option) Creates a ccPolyCurve object from a list of specified polyCurve segments.

Arguments

l_segments	l_segment | (l_segments...) A single curvy segment or a list of segments, specified by a ccCurve object and a transformation applied to this curve in the following format. (o_curve l_transform) where: o_curve is the ID of a ccCurve object. l_transform is a transformation object in the following format: ((n_offsetX n_offsetY) n_angle) where: n_angle is the rotation angle. n_offsetX and n_offsetY determine the offsets of the X-axis and Y-axis in this format (0,0).
?close	Specifies whether the resulting curve is closed (t) or open (nil). The default is nil.
?smoothness S_smoothness
	Level of smoothness of the resulting curve. Valid values: G0 specifies that the resulting curve is continuous. G1 specifies that the derivative of the resulting curve is continuous. G2 specifies that the second order derivative of the resulting curve is continuous.

Value Returned

o_polyCurve	ID of the resulting ccPolyCurve.
nil	An error occurred.

Examples

ccCreatePolyCurve(list(list(ccCreateCurve("cos(t)" "sin(t)" -                  3.14159265:3.14159265) list(0:0 0)))

                  ?close t
                  )

=> cc@0x269c83f0

ccCreatePolyCurve(list(list(ccCreateCurve("t" "1" 0:1) list((0:0) 0))

                  list(ccCreateCurve("t" "1" 2:3) list((0:0) 0)))

                  ?smoothness 'G0
                  )

=> *Error* (CC-200014): Cannot create PolyCurve: required smoothness is G0, but smoothness between segments 0 and 1 is discontinuous: point (1, 1) != (2, 1).

ccGetFacetCorners

ccGetFacetCorners(
o_shape 
g_facet
) 
=> l_corners / nil

Description

Retrieves the corner points of the facet snapped to the manufacturing grid of the shape containing the facet.

Arguments

o_shape	ID of a ccShape object.
g_facet	o_facet | t_facetName | where: o_facet is ID of a ccFacet object. t_facetName is the name of the facet.

Examples

c = ccCreateCurve("20*cos(t)" "10*sin(t)" -pi/4:pi/3)

=> cc@0xb3f1648e

path = ccCreatePath(cv "waveguide" list(c) ?defaultWidth 1)

=> cc@0x343b3b00

ccGetFacetCorners(path path->beginFacet)

=> ((13.95 -6.6) (14.35 -7.5))

ccGetFacetCorners(path "begin")

=> ((13.95 -6.6) (14.35 -7.5))
)
