Nurbs

nurbs is like spline : an invisible object

NURBS means Non Uniform Rational B-Spline.

syntax is

nurbs {
  Uorder, Vorder, 
  Usize, Vsize 
  UKNOTS
  VKNOTS
  ULINE (repeated Vsize time)
  [OBJECTS_MODIFIERS...] 
 }

ULINE := WEIGHTED_POINT (repeated Usize time)
WEIGHTED_POINT := < X, Y, Z, W >
UKNOTS := KNOT, (repeated Uorder+Usize time)
VKNOTS := KNOT, (repeated Vorder+Vsize time)
KNOT := float value

• The order must be at least 2 and at most `size` for each U & V coordinates.
• Along a sequence of knots, the values must not be decreasing.
• nurbs is one of the UVMeshable objects
