SplineDegree
is an option for spline functions and graphics primitives that specifies the degree of polynomial basis to use.
Details
- SplineDegree ->d specifies the polynomial basis of maximal degree d in each dimension.
- SplineDegree ->{d1,d2,…} specifies maximal degree dn in the n^(th)dimension.
- With the setting SplineDegree ->Automatic , the degree of the polynomial basis is determined from the number of control points, and the length of any knot sequence given. The default is degree 3 in each dimension.
Examples
