patch()  —  Silicon Graphics

NAME

patch - draws a surface patch

SPECIFICATION

C
patch(geomx, geomy, geomz)
Matrix geomx, geomy, geomz;
rpatch(geomx, geomy, geomz, geomw)
Matrix geomx, geomy, geomz, geomw;

FORTRAN
subroutine patch(geomx, geomy, geomz)
real geomx(4,4), geomy(4,4), geomz(4,4)
subroutine rpatch(geomx, geomy, geomz, geomw)
real geomx(4,4), geomy(4,4), geomz(4,4), geomw(4,4)

Pascal
procedure patch(geomx, geomy, geomz: Matrix);
procedure rpatch(geomx, geomy, geomz, geomw: Matrix);

DESCRIPTION

patch and rpatch draw a surface patch using the current patchbasis, patchprecision, and patchcurves.  rpatch draws a rational surface patch.  The shape of the patch is determined by the control points specified in geomx, geomy, and geomz.  geomw specifies the rational component of the patch to rpatch.
