3D Adaptors

Some Open CASCADE general algorithms may work theoretically on numerous types of curves or surfaces. To do this, they simply describe the services required of the analyzed curve or surface.

The functions listed below provide the necessary interfaces between the services available:

- on a Geom curve

- on a curve lying on a Geom surface

- on a Geom surface

and those required on the curve or the surface by algorithms which use it.

These interfaces are simple to use: simply create an adapted curve or surface from:

- a Geom curve

- a 2D curve lying on a Geom surface

- a Geom surface

and then use this adapted curve or surface as an argument for the algorithm which requires it.

These classes and their available functions are not specifically documented. Information explaining how to create or to analyze an adapted curve or surface is given in the documentation each time an adapted curve or surface is required in syntax.
