The abstract class BoundedCurve describes the
common behavior of bounded curves in 3D space. A
bounded curve is limited by two finite values of the
parameter, termed respectively "first parameter" and
"last parameter". The "first parameter" gives the "start <br> point" of the bounded curve, and the "last parameter"
gives the "end point" of the bounded curve.
The length of a bounded curve is finite.
The Geom package provides three concrete classes of bounded curves:

	Returns the value of the last parameter. <br> Warnings : It can be RealLast from package Standard if the curve is infinite More...

virtual Standard_Boolean	IsClosed () const =0
	Returns true if the curve is closed. <br> Some curves such as circle are always closed, others such as line are never closed (by definition). Some Curves such as OffsetCurve can be closed or not. These curves are considered as closed if the distance between the first point and the last point of the curve is lower or equal to the Resolution from package gp wich is a fixed criterion independant of the application. More...

virtual Standard_Boolean	IsPeriodic () const =0
	Is the parametrization of the curve periodic ? <br> It is possible only if the curve is closed and if the following relation is satisfied : for each parametric value U the distance between the point P(u) and the point P (u + T) is lower or equal to Resolution from package gp, T is the period and must be a constant. There are three possibilities : . the curve is never periodic by definition (SegmentLine) . the curve is always periodic by definition (Circle) . the curve can be defined as periodic (BSpline). In this case a function SetPeriodic allows you to give the shape of the curve. The general rule for this case is : if a curve can be periodic or not the default periodicity set is non periodic and you have to turn (explicitly) the curve into a periodic curve if you want the curve to be periodic.

Detailed Description

The abstract class BoundedCurve describes the
common behavior of bounded curves in 3D space. A
bounded curve is limited by two finite values of the
parameter, termed respectively "first parameter" and
"last parameter". The "first parameter" gives the "start <br> point" of the bounded curve, and the "last parameter"
gives the "end point" of the bounded curve.
The length of a bounded curve is finite.
The Geom package provides three concrete classes of bounded curves:

two frequently used mathematical formulations of complex curves:
- Geom_BezierCurve,
- Geom_BSplineCurve, and
Geom_TrimmedCurve to trim a curve, i.e. to only
take part of the curve limited by two values of the
parameter of the basis curve.
