6 @section occt_draw_1 Introduction
8 This manual explains how to use Draw, the test harness for Open CASCADE Technology (**OCCT**).
9 Draw is a command interpreter based on TCL and a graphical system used to test and demonstrate Open CASCADE Technology modeling libraries.
11 @subsection occt_draw_1_1 Overview
13 Draw is a test harness for Open CASCADE Technology. It provides a flexible and easy to use means of testing and demonstrating the OCCT modeling libraries.
15 Draw can be used interactively to create, display and modify objects such as curves, surfaces and topological shapes.
17 Scripts may be written to customize Draw and perform tests. New types of objects and new commands may be added using the C++ programing language.
21 * A command interpreter based on the TCL command language.
22 * A 3d graphic viewer based on the X system.
23 * A basic set of commands covering scripts, variables and graphics.
24 * A set of geometric commands allowing the user to create and modify curves and surfaces and to use OCCT geometry algorithms. This set of commands is optional.
25 * A set of topological commands allowing the user to create and modify BRep shapes and to use the OCCT topology algorithms.
28 There is also a set of commands for each delivery unit in the modeling libraries:

61 # this is a very short example
66 @subsection occt_draw_1_3 Getting started
68 Install Draw and launch Emacs. Get a command line in Emacs using *Esc x* and key in *woksh*.
70 All DRAW Test Harness can be activated in the common executable called **DRAWEXE**. They are grouped in toolkits and can be loaded at run-time thereby implementing dynamically loaded plug-ins. Thus, it is possible to work only with the required commands adding them dynamically without leaving the Test Harness session.
72 Declaration of available plug-ins is done through the special resource file(s). The *pload* command loads the plug-in in accordance with the specified resource file and activates the commands implemented in the plug-in.
74 @subsubsection occt_draw_1_3_1 Launching DRAW Test Harness
76 Test Harness executable *DRAWEXE* is located in the <i>$CASROOT/\<platform\>/bin</i> directory (where \<platform\> is Win for Windows and Linux for Linux operating systems). Prior to launching it is important to make sure that the environment is correctly setup (usually this is done automatically after the installation process on Windows or after launching specific scripts on Linux).
79 @subsubsection occt_draw_1_3_2 Plug-in resource file
81 Open CASCADE Technology is shipped with the DrawPlugin resource file located in the <i>$CASROOT/src/DrawResources</i> directory.
83 The format of the file is compliant with standard Open CASCADE Technology resource files (see the *Resource_Manager.hxx* file for details).
85 Each key defines a sequence of either further (nested) keys or a name of the dynamic library. Keys can be nested down to an arbitrary level. However, cyclic dependencies between the keys are not checked.
87 **Example:** (excerpt from DrawPlugin):
88 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
89 OCAF : VISUALIZATION, OCAFKERNEL
95 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
97 @subsubsection occt_draw_1_3_3 Activation of commands implemented in the plug-in
99 To load a plug-in declared in the resource file and to activate the commands the following command must be used in Test Harness:
102 pload [-PluginFileName] [[Key1] [Key2]...]
107 * <i>-PluginFileName</i> -- defines the name of a plug-in resource file (prefix "-" is mandatory) described above. If this parameter is omitted then the default name *DrawPlugin* is used.
108 * *Key* -- defines the key(s) enumerating plug-ins to be loaded. If no keys are specified then the key named *DEFAULT* is used (if there is no such key in the file then no plug-ins are loaded).
110 According to the OCCT resource file management rules, to access the resource file the environment variable *CSF_PluginFileNameDefaults* (and optionally *CSF_PluginFileNameUserDefaults*) must be set and point to the directory storing the resource file. If it is omitted then the plug-in resource file will be searched in the <i>$CASROOT/src/DrawResources</i> directory.
113 Draw[] pload -DrawPlugin OCAF
115 This command will search the resource file *DrawPlugin* using variable *CSF_DrawPluginDefaults* (and *CSF_DrawPluginUserDefaults*) and will start with the OCAF key. Since the *DrawPlugin* is the file shipped with Open CASCADE Technology it will be found in the <i>$CASROOT/src/DrawResources</i> directory (unless this location is redefined by user's variables). The OCAF key will be recursively extracted into two toolkits/plug-ins: *TKDCAF* and *TKViewerTest* (e.g. on Windows they correspond to *TKDCAF.dll* and *TKViewerTest.dll*). Thus, commands implemented for Visualization and OCAF will be loaded and activated in Test Harness.
118 Draw[] pload (equivalent to pload -DrawPlugin DEFAULT).
120 This command will find the default DrawPlugin file and the DEFAULT key. The latter finally maps to the TKTopTest toolkit which implements basic modeling commands.
123 @section occt_draw_2 The Command Language
125 @subsection occt_draw_2_1 Overview
127 The command language used in Draw is Tcl. Tcl documentation such as "TCL and the TK Toolkit" by John K. Ousterhout (Addison-Wesley) will prove useful if you intend to use Draw extensively.
129 This chapter is designed to give you a short outline of both the TCL language and some extensions included in Draw. The following topics are covered:
131 * Syntax of the TCL language.
132 * Accessing variables in TCL and Draw.
133 * Control structures.
136 @subsection occt_draw_2_2 Syntax of TCL
138 TCL is an interpreted command language, not a structured language like C, Pascal, LISP or Basic. It uses a shell similar to that of csh. TCL is, however, easier to use than csh because control structures and procedures are easier to define. As well, because TCL does not assign a process to each command, it is faster than csh.
140 The basic program for TCL is a script. A script consists of one or more commands. Commands are separated by new lines or semicolons.
142 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
146 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
148 Each command consists of one or more *words*; the first word is the name of a command and additional words are arguments to that command.
150 Words are separated by spaces or tabs. In the preceding example each of the four commands has three words. A command may contain any number of words and each word is a string of arbitrary length.
152 The evaluation of a command by TCL is done in two steps. In the first step, the command is parsed and broken into words. Some substitutions are also performed. In the second step, the command procedure corresponding to the first word is called and the other words are interpreted as arguments. In the first step, there is only string manipulation, The words only acquire *meaning* in the second step by the command procedure.
154 The following substitutions are performed by TCL:
156 Variable substitution is triggered by the $ character (as with csh), the content of the variable is substitued; { } may be used as in csh to enclose the name of the variable.
159 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
160 # set a variable value
161 set file documentation
162 puts $file #to display file contents on the screen
164 # a simple substitution, set psfile to documentation.ps
168 # another substitution, set pfile to documentationPS
172 # delete files NEWdocumentation and OLDdocumentation
173 foreach prefix {NEW OLD} {rm $prefix$file}
174 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
176 Command substitution is triggered by the [ ] characters. The brackets must enclose a valid script. The script is evaluated and the result is substituted.
178 Compare command construction in csh.
181 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
184 # expr is a command evaluating a numeric expression
185 set radian [expr $pi*$degree/180]
186 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
188 Backslash substitution is triggered by the backslash character. It is used to insert special characters like $, [ , ] , etc. It is also useful to insert a new line, a backslash terminated line is continued on the following line.
190 TCL uses two forms of *quoting* to prevent substitution and word breaking.
192 Double quote *quoting* enables the definition of a string with space and tabs as a single word. Substitutions are still performed inside the inverted commas " ".
195 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
196 # set msg to ;the price is 12.00;
198 set msg ;the price is $price;
199 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
201 Braces *quoting* prevents all substitutions. Braces are also nested. The main use of braces is to defer evaluation when defining procedures and control structures. Braces are used for a clearer presentation of TCL scripts on several lines.
204 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
206 # this will loop for ever
207 # because while argument is ;0 < 3;
208 while ;$x < 3; {set x [expr $x+1]}
209 # this will terminate as expected because
210 # while argument is {$x < 3}
211 while {$x < 3} {set x [expr $x+1]}
212 # this can be written also
216 # the following cannot be written
217 # because while requires two arguments
222 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
224 Comments start with a \# character as the first non-blank character in a command. To add a comment at the end of the line, the comment must be preceded by a semi-colon to end the preceding command.
227 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
229 set a 1 # this is not a comment
230 set b 1; # this is a comment
231 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
233 The number of words is never changed by substitution when parsing in TCL. For example, the result of a substitution is always a single word. This is different from csh but convenient as the behavior of the parser is more predictable. It may sometimes be necessary to force a second round of parsing. **eval** accomplishes this: it accepts several arguments, concatenates them and executes the resulting script.
237 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
238 # I want to delete two files
242 # this will fail because rm will receive only one argument
243 # and complain that ;foo bar; does not exit
247 # a second evaluation will do it
248 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
250 @subsection occt_draw_2_3 Accessing variables in TCL and Draw
252 TCL variables have only string values. Note that even numeric values are stored as string literals, and computations using the **expr** command start by parsing the strings. Draw, however, requires variables with other kinds of values such as curves, surfaces or topological shapes.
254 TCL provides a mechanism to link user data to variables. Using this functionality, Draw defines its variables as TCL variables with associated data.
256 The string value of a Draw variable is meaningless. It is usually set to the name of the variable itself. Consequently, preceding a Draw variable with a <i>$</i> does not change the result of a command. The content of a Draw variable is accessed using appropriate commands.
258 There are many kinds of Draw variables, and new ones may be added with C++. Geometric and topological variables are described below.
260 Draw numeric variables can be used within an expression anywhere a Draw command requires a numeric value. The *expr* command is useless in this case as the variables are stored not as strings but as floating point values.
263 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
264 # dset is used for numeric variables
265 # pi is a predefined Draw variable
266 dset angle pi/3 radius 10
267 point p radius*cos(angle) radius*sin(angle) 0
268 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
269 It is recommended that you use TCL variables only for strings and Draw for numerals. That way, you will avoid the *expr* command. As a rule, Geometry and Topology require numbers but no strings.
271 @subsubsection occt_draw_2_3_1 set, unset
277 unset varname [varname varname ...]
280 *set* assigns a string value to a variable. If the variable does not already exist, it is created.
282 Without a value, *set* returns the content of the variable.
284 *unset* deletes variables. It is is also used to delete Draw variables.
287 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
294 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
296 **Note**, that the *set* command can set only one variable, unlike the *dset* command.
299 @subsubsection occt_draw_2_3_2 dset, dval
304 dset var1 value1 vr2 value2 ...
308 *dset* assigns values to Draw numeric variables. The argument can be any numeric expression including Draw numeric variables. Since all Draw commands expect a numeric expression, there is no need to use $ or *expr*. The *dset* command can assign several variables. If there is an odd number of arguments, the last variable will be assigned a value of 0. If the variable does not exist, it will be created.
310 *dval* evaluates an expression containing Draw numeric variables and returns the result as a string, even in the case of a single variable. This is not used in Draw commands as these usually interpret the expression. It is used for basic TCL commands expecting strings.
314 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
319 # no $ required for Draw commands
322 # "puts" prints a string
323 puts ;x = [dval x], cos(x/pi) = [dval cos(x/pi)];
324 == x = 10, cos(x/pi) = -0.99913874099467914
325 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
327 **Note,** that in TCL, parentheses are not considered to be special characters. Do not forget to quote an expression if it contains spaces in order to avoid parsing different words. <i>(a + b)</i> is parsed as three words: <i>"(a + b)"</i> or <i>(a+b)</i> are correct.
329 @subsubsection occt_draw_2_3_3 del, dall
333 del varname_pattern [varname_pattern ...]
337 *del* command does the same thing as *unset*, but it deletes the variables matched by the pattern.
339 *dall* command deletes all variables in the session.
341 @subsection occt_draw_2_4 lists
343 TCL uses lists. A list is a string containing elements separated by spaces or tabs. If the string contains braces, the braced part accounts as one element.
345 This allows you to insert lists within lists.
348 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
349 # a list of 3 strings
352 # a list of two strings the first is a list of 2
354 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
356 Many TCL commands return lists and **foreach** is a useful way to create loops on list elements.
358 @subsubsection occt_draw_2_5 Control Structures
360 TCL allows looping using control structures. The control structures are implemented by commands and their syntax is very similar to that of their C counterparts (**if**, **while**, **switch**, etc.). In this case, there are two main differences between TCL and C:
362 * You use braces instead of parentheses to enclose conditions.
363 * You do not start the script on the next line of your command.
366 @subsubsection occt_draw_2_5_1 if
371 if condition script [elseif script .... else script]
374 **If** evaluates the condition and the script to see whether the condition is true.
379 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
387 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
389 @subsubsection occt_draw_2_5_2 while, for, foreach
395 while condition script
396 for init condition reinit script
397 foreach varname list script
400 The three loop structures are similar to their C or csh equivalent. It is important to use braces to delay evaluation. **foreach** will assign the elements of the list to the variable before evaluating the script. \
403 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
406 while {[dval x] < 100} {
411 # incr var d, increments a variable of d (default 1)
412 for {set i 0} {$i < 10} {incr i} {
414 point p$i cos(angle0 sin(angle) 0
417 foreach object {crapo tomson lucas} {display $object}
418 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
420 @subsubsection occt_draw_2_5_3 break, continue
429 Within loops, the **break** and **continue** commands have the same effect as in C.
431 **break** interrupts the innermost loop and **continue** jumps to the next iteration.
434 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
435 # search the index for which t$i has value ;secret;
436 for {set i 1} {$i <= 100} {incr i} {
437 if {[set t$i] == ;secret;} break;
439 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
441 @subsection occt_draw_2_6 Procedures
443 TCL can be extended by defining procedures using the **proc** command, which sets up a context of local variables, binds arguments and executes a TCL script.
445 The only problematic aspect of procedures is that variables are strictly local, and as they are implicitly created when used, it may be difficult to detect errors.
447 There are two means of accessing a variable outside the scope of the current procedures: **global** declares a global variable (a variable outside all procedures); **upvar** accesses a variable in the scope of the caller. Since arguments in TCL are always string values, the only way to pass Draw variables is by reference, i.e. passing the name of the variable and using the **upvar** command as in the following examples.
449 As TCL is not a strongly typed language it is very difficult to detect programming errors and debugging can be tedious. TCL procedures are, of course, not designed for large scale software development but for testing and simple command or interactive writing.
452 @subsubsection occt_draw_2_6_1 proc
457 proc argumentlist script
460 **proc** defines a procedure. An argument may have a default value. It is then a list of the form {argument value}. The script is the body of the procedure.
462 **return** gives a return value to the procedure.
465 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
470 # procedure with arguments and default values
471 proc distance {x1 y1 {x2 0} {y2 0}} {
472 set d [expr (x2-x1)*(x2-x1) + (y2-y1)*(y2-y1)]
473 return [expr sqrt(d)]
476 if {$n == 0} {return 1} else {
477 return [expr n*[fact [expr n -1]]]
480 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
483 @subsubsection occt_draw_2_6_2 global, upvar
488 global varname [varname ...]
489 upvar varname localname [varname localname ...]
493 **global** accesses high level variables. Unlike C, global variables are not visible in procedures.
495 **upvar** gives a local name to a variable in the caller scope. This is useful when an argument is the name of a variable instead of a value. This is a call by reference and is the only way to use Draw variables as arguments.
497 **Note** that in the following examples the \$ character is always necessarily used to access the arguments.
500 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
501 # convert degree to radian
502 # pi is a global variable
503 proc deg2rad (degree} {
504 return [dval pi*$degree/2.]
506 # create line with a point and an angle
507 proc linang {linename x y angle} {
509 line l $x $y cos($angle) sin($angle)
511 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
513 @section occt_draw_3 Basic Commands
515 This chapter describes all the commands defined in the basic Draw package. Some are TCL commands, but most of them have been formulated in Draw. These commands are found in all Draw applications. The commands are grouped into four sections:
517 * General commands, which are used for Draw and TCL management.
518 * Variable commands, which are used to manage Draw variables such as storing and dumping.
519 * Graphic commands, which are used to manage the graphic system, and so pertain to views.
520 * Variable display commands, which are used to manage the display of objects within given views.
522 Note that Draw also features a GUI task bar providing an alternative way to give certain general, graphic and display commands
525 @subsection occt_draw_3_1 General commands
527 This section describes several useful commands:
529 * **help** to get information,
530 * **source** to eval a script from a file,
531 * **spy** to capture the commands in a file,
532 * **cpulimit** to limit the process cpu time,
533 * **wait** to waste some time,
534 * **chrono** to time commands.
536 @subsubsection occt_draw_3_1_1 help
541 help [command [helpstring group]]
544 Provides help or modifies the help information.
546 **help** without arguments lists all groups and the commands in each group.
548 Specifying the command returns its syntax and in some cases, information on the command, The joker \* is automatically added at the end so that all completing commands are returned as well.
551 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
552 # Gives help on all commands starting with *a*
553 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
556 @subsubsection occt_draw_3_1_2 source
565 The **exit** command will terminate the file.
567 @subsubsection occt_draw_3_1_3 spy
575 Saves interactive commands in the file. If spying has already been performed, the current file is closed. **spy** without an argument closes the current file and stops spying. If a file already exists, the file is overwritten. Commands are not appended.
577 If a command returns an error it is saved with a comment mark.
579 The file created by **spy** can be executed with the **source** command.
582 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
583 # all commands will be saved in the file ;session;
585 # the file ;session; is closed and commands are not saved
587 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
591 @subsubsection occt_draw_3_1_4 cpulimit
599 **cpulimit**limits a process after the number of seconds specified in nbseconds. It is used in tests to avoid infinite loops. **cpulimit** without arguments removes all existing limits.
602 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
603 #limit cpu to one hour
605 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
607 @subsubsection occt_draw_3_1_5 wait
613 Suspends execution for the number of seconds specified in *nbseconds*. The default value is ten (10) seconds. This is a useful command for a slide show.
616 # You have ten seconds ...
620 @subsubsection occt_draw_3_1_6 chrono
625 chrono [ name start/stop/reset/show/restart/[counter text]]
628 Without arguments, **chrono** activates Draw chronometers. The elapsed time ,cpu system and cpu user times for each command will be printed.
630 With arguments, **chrono** is used to manage activated chronometers. You can perform the following actions with a chronometer.
631 * run the chronometer (start).
632 * stop the chronometer (stop).
633 * reset the chronometer to 0 (reset).
634 * restart the chronometer (restart).
635 * display the current time (show).
636 * display the current time with specified text (output example - *COUNTER text: N*), command <i>testdiff</i> will compare such outputs between two test runs (counter).
639 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
641 ==Chronometers activated.
643 ==Elapsed time: 0 Hours 0 Minutes 0.0318 Seconds
644 ==CPU user time: 0.01 seconds
645 ==CPU system time: 0 seconds
646 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
648 @subsection occt_draw_3_2 Variable management commands
650 @subsubsection occt_draw_3_2_1 isdraw, directory
658 **isdraw** tests to see if a variable is a Draw variable. **isdraw** will return 1 if there is a Draw value attached to the variable.
660 Use **directory** to return a list of all Draw global variables matching a pattern.
663 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
676 # to destroy all Draw objects with name containing curve
677 foreach var [directory *curve*] {unset $var}
678 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
681 @subsubsection occt_draw_3_2_2 whatis, dump
686 whatis varname [varname ...]
687 dump varname [varname ...]
690 **whatis** returns short information about a Draw variable. This is usually the type name.
692 **dump** returns a brief type description, the coordinates, and if need be, the parameters of a Draw variable.
695 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
702 ***** Dump of c *****
708 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
710 **Note** The behavior of *whatis* on other variables (not Draw) is not excellent.
713 @subsubsection occt_draw_3_2_3 renamevar, copy
717 renamevar varname tovarname [varname tovarname ...]
718 copy varname tovarname [varname tovarname ...]
721 * **renamevar** changes the name of a Draw variable. The original variable will no longer exist. Note that the content is not modified. Only the name is changed.
722 * **copy** creates a new variable with a copy of the content of an existing variable. The exact behavior of **copy** is type dependent; in the case of certain topological variables, the content may still be shared.
725 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
729 # curves are copied, c2 will not be modified
731 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
733 @subsubsection occt_draw_3_2_4 datadir, save, restore
738 save variable [filename]
739 restore filename [variablename]
742 * **datadir** without arguments prints the path of the current data directory.
743 * **datadir** with an argument sets the data directory path. \
745 If the path starts with a dot (.) only the last directory name will be changed in the path.
747 * **save** writes a file in the data directory with the content of a variable. By default the name of the file is the name of the variable. To give a different name use a second argument.
748 * **restore** reads the content of a file in the data directory in a local variable. By default, the name of the variable is the name of the file. To give a different name, use a second argument.
750 The exact content of the file is type-dependent. They are usually ASCII files and so, architecture independent.
753 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
754 # note how TCL accesses shell environment variables
759 datadir $env(WBCONTAINER)/data/default
760 ==/adv_20/BAG/data/default
764 ==/adv_20/BAG/data/default/theBox
766 # when TCL does not find a command it tries a shell command
772 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

865 @section occt_draw_4 Graphic Commands
867 Graphic commands are used to manage the Draw graphic system. Draw provides a 2d and a 3d viewer with up to 30 views. Views are numbered and the index of the view is displayed in the window’s title. Objects are displayed in all 2d views or in all 3d views, depending on their type. 2d objects can only be viewed in 2d views while 3d objects -- only in 3d views correspondingly.
869 @subsection occt_draw_4_1 Axonometric viewer
871 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_1_1 view, delete
875 view index type [X Y W H]
879 **view** is the basic view creation command: it creates a new view with the given index. If a view with this index already exits, it is deleted. The view is created with default parameters and X Y W H are the position and dimensions of the window on the screen. Default values are 0, 0, 500, 500.
881 As a rule it is far simpler either to use the procedures **axo**, **top**, **left** or to click on the desired view type in the menu under *Views* in the task bar..
883 **delete** deletes a view. If no index is given, all the views are deleted.
885 Type selects from the following range:
887 * *AXON* : Axonometric view
888 * *PERS* : Perspective view
889 * <i>+X+Y</i> : View on both axes (i.e. a top view), other codes are <i>-X+Y</i>, <i>+Y-Z</i>, etc.
890 * <i>-2D-</i> : 2d view
892 The index, the type, the current zoom are displayed in the window title .

908 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_1_2 axo, pers, top, ...
919 All these commands are procedures used to define standard screen layout. They delete all existing views and create new ones. The layout usually complies with the European convention, i.e. a top view is under a front view.
921 * **axo** creates a large window axonometric view;
922 * **pers** creates a large window perspective view;
923 * **top**, **bottom**, **left**, **right**, **front**, **back** create a large window axis view;
924 * **mu4** creates four small window views: front, left, top and axo.
925 * **v2d** creates a large window 2d view.
926 * **av2d** creates two small window views, one 2d and one axo
927 * **smallview** creates a view at the bottom right of the screen of the given type.
929 See also: **view**, **delete**
931 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_1_3 mu, md, 2dmu, 2dmd, zoom, 2dzoom
942 * **mu** (magnify up) increases the zoom in one or several views by a factor of 10%.
943 * **md** (magnify down) decreases the zoom by the inverse factor. **2dmu** and **2dmd**
944 perform the same on one or all 2d views.
945 * **zoom** and **2dzoom** set the zoom factor to a value specified by you. The current zoom factor is always displayed in the window’s title bar. Zoom 20 represents a full screen view in a large window; zoom 10, a full screen view in a small one.
946 * **wzoom** (window zoom) allows you to select the area you want to zoom in on with the mouse. You will be prompted to give two of the corners of the area that you want to magnify and the rectangle so defined will occupy the window of the view.

958 See also: **fit**, **2dfit**
961 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_14 pu, pd, pl, pr, 2dpu, 2dpd, 2dpl, 2dpr
970 The <i>p_</i> commands are used to pan. **pu** and **pd** pan up and down respectively; **pl** and **pr** pan to the left and to the right respectively. Each time the view is displaced by 40 pixels. When no index is given, all views will pan in the direction specified.
972 # you have selected one anonometric view
977 # you have selected an mu4 view; the object in the third view will pan up
980 See also: **fit**, **2dfit**
983 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_1_5 fit, 2dfit
992 **fit** computes the best zoom and pans on the content of the view. The content of the view will be centered and fit the whole window.
994 When fitting all views a unique zoom is computed for all the views. All views are on the same scale.

1003 See also: **zoom**, **mu**, **pu**
1006 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_1_6 u, d, l, r
1017 **u**, **d**, **l**, **r** Rotate the object in view around its axis by five degrees up, down, left or right respectively. This command is restricted to axonometric and perspective views.
1020 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
1021 # rotate the view up
1023 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1025 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_1_7 focal, fu, fd
1034 * **focal** changes the vantage point in perspective views. A low f value increases the perspective effect; a high one give a perspective similar to that of an axonometric view. The default value is 500.
1035 * **fu** and **fd** increase or decrease the focal value by 10%. **fd** makes the eye closer to the object.
1038 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
1041 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1043 **Note**: Do not use a negative or null focal value.
1047 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_1_8 color
1055 **color** sets the color to a value. The index of the *color* is a value between 0 and 15. The name is an X window color name. The list of these can be found in the file *rgb.txt* in the X library directory.
1057 The default values are: 0 White, 1 Red, 2 Green, 3 Blue, 4 Cyan, 5 Gold, 6 Magenta, 7 Marron, 8 Orange, 9 Pink, 10 Salmon, 11 Violet, 12 Yellow, 13 Khaki, 14 Coral.
1060 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
1061 # change the value of blue
1063 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1066 **Note** that the color change will be visible on the next redraw of the views, for example, after *fit* or *mu*, etc.
1068 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_1_9 dtext
1072 dtext [x y [z]] string
1075 **dtext** displays a string in all 3d or 2d views. If no coordinates are given, a graphic selection is required. If two coordinates are given, the text is created in a 2d view at the position specified. With 3 coordinates, the text is created in a 3d view.
1077 The coordinates are real space coordinates.
1080 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
1084 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1086 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_1_10 hardcopy, hcolor, xwd
1091 hcolor index width gray
1092 xwd [index] filename
1095 * **hardcopy** creates a postcript file called a4.ps in the current directory. This file contains the postscript description of the view index, and will allow you to print the view.
1096 * **hcolor** lets you change the aspect of lines in the postscript file. It allows to specify a width and a gray level for one of the 16 colors. **width** is measured in points with default value as 1, **gray** is the gray level from 0 = black to 1 = white with default value as 0. All colors are bound to the default values at the beginning.
1097 * **xwd** creates an X window xwd file from an active view. By default, the index is set to1. To visualize an xwd file, use the unix command **xwud**.
1100 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
1101 # all blue lines (color 3)
1102 # will be half-width and gray
1105 # make a postscript file and print it
1109 # make an xwd file and display it
1112 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1114 **Note:** When more than one view is present, specify the index of the view.
1116 Only use a postscript printer to print postscript files.
1121 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_1_11 wclick, pick
1126 pick index X Y Z b [nowait]
1129 **wclick** defers an event until the mouse button is clicked. The message <code>just click</code> is displayed.
1131 Use the **pick** command to get graphic input. The arguments must be names for variables where the results are stored.
1132 * index: index of the view where the input was made.
1133 * X,Y,Z: 3d coordinates in real world.
1134 * b: b is the mouse button 1,2 or 3.
1136 When there is an extra argument, its value is not used and the command does not wait for a click; the value of b may then be 0 if there has not been a click.
1138 This option is useful for tracking the pointer.
1140 **Note** that the results are stored in Draw numeric variables.
1143 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
1144 # make a circle at mouse location
1146 circle c x y z 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 30
1148 # make a dynamic circle at mouse location
1149 # stop when a button is clicked
1150 # (see the repaint command)
1153 while {[dval b] == 0} {
1154 pick index x y z b nowait
1155 circle c x y z 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 30
1158 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1159 See also: **repaint**
1162 Draw provides commands to manage the display of objects.
1163 * **display**, **donly** are used to display,
1164 * **erase**, **clear**, **2dclear** to erase.
1165 * **autodisplay** command is used to check whether variables are displayed when created.
1167 The variable name "." (dot) has a special status in Draw. Any Draw command expecting a Draw object as argument can be passed a dot. The meaning of the dot is the following.
1168 * If the dot is an input argument, a graphic selection will be made. Instead of getting the object from a variable, Draw will ask you to select an object in a view.
1169 * If the dot is an output argument, an unnamed object will be created. Of course this makes sense only for graphic objects: if you create an unnamed number you will not be able to access it. This feature is used when you want to create objects for display only.
1170 * If you do not see what you expected while executing loops or sourcing files, use the **repaint** and **dflush** commands.
1173 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
1174 # OK use dot to dump an object on the screen
1179 #Not OK. display points on a curve c
1180 # with dot no variables are created
1181 for {set i 0} {$i <= 10} {incr i} {
1182 cvalue c $i/10 x y z
1187 # would have displayed only one point
1188 # because the precedent variable content is erased
1191 # is an other solution, creating variables
1194 # give a name to a graphic object
1196 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1199 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_1_12 autodisplay
1207 By default, Draw automatically displays any graphic object as soon as it is created. This behavior known as autodisplay can be removed with the command **autodisplay**. Without arguments, **autodisplay** toggles the autodisplay mode. The command always returns the current mode.
1209 When **autodisplay** is off, using the dot return argument is ineffective.
1212 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
1221 # c is erased, but not displayed
1223 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1225 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_1_13 display, donly
1229 display varname [varname ...]
1230 donly varname [varname ...]
1233 * **display** makes objects visible.
1234 * **donly** *display only* makes objects visible and erases all other objects. It is very useful to extract one object from a messy screen.
1237 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
1238 \# to see all objects
1239 foreach var [directory] {display $var}
1241 \# to select two objects and erase the other ones
1243 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1246 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_1_14 erase, clear, 2dclear
1251 erase [varname varname ...]
1256 **erase** removes objects from all views. **erase** without arguments erases everything in 2d and 3d.
1258 **clear** erases only 3d objects and **2dclear** only 2d objects. **erase** without arguments is similar to **clear; 2dclear**.
1262 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.cpp}
1263 # erase eveerything with a name starting with c_
1264 foreach var [directory c_*] {erase $var}
1268 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1270 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_1_14_1 disp, don, era
1272 These commands have the same meaning as correspondingly display, donly and erase, but with the difference that they evaluate the arguments using glob pattern rules. For example, to display all objects with names d_1, d_2, d_3, etc. it is enouth to run the command:
1277 @subsubsection occt_draw_4_1_15 repaint, dflush
1287 * **repaint** forces repainting of views.
1288 * **dflush** flushes the graphic buffers.
1290 These commands are useful within loops or in scripts.
1292 When an object is modified or erased, the whole view must be repainted. To avoid doing this too many times, Draw sets up a flag and delays the repaint to the end of the command in which the new prompt is issued. In a script, you may want to display the result of a change immediately. If the flag is raised, **repaint** will repaint the views and clear the flag.
1294 Graphic operations are buffered by Draw (and also by the X system). Usually the buffer is flushed at the end of a command and before graphic selection. If you want to flush the buffer from inside a script, use the **dflush** command.

4341 @section occt_draw_6 Geometry commands
4343 @subsection occt_draw_6_1 Overview
4345 Draw provides a set of commands to test geometry libraries. These commands are found in the TGEOMETRY executable, or in any Draw executable which includes *GeometryTest* commands.
4347 In the context of Geometry, Draw includes the following types of variable:
4350 * The 2d curve, which corresponds to *Curve* in *Geom2d*.
4351 * The 3d curve and surface, which correspond to *Curve* and *Surface* in <a href="user_guides__modeling_data.html#occt_modat_1">Geom package</a>.
4353 Draw geometric variables never share data; the *copy* command will always make a complete copy of the content of the variable.
4355 The following topics are covered in the nine sections of this chapter:
4357 * **Curve creation** deals with the various types of curves and how to create them.
4358 * **Surface creation** deals with the different types of surfaces and how to create them.
4359 * **Curve and surface modification** deals with the commands used to modify the definition of curves and surfaces, most of which concern modifications to bezier and bspline curves.
4360 * **Geometric transformations** covers translation, rotation, mirror image and point scaling transformations.
4361 * **Curve and Surface Analysis** deals with the commands used to compute points, derivatives and curvatures.
4362 * **Intersections** presents intersections of surfaces and curves.
4363 * **Approximations** deals with creating curves and surfaces from a set of points.
4364 * **Constraints** concerns construction of 2d circles and lines by constraints such as tangency.
4365 * **Display** describes commands to control the display of curves and surfaces.
4367 Where possible, the commands have been made broad in application, i.e. they apply to 2d curves, 3d curves and surfaces. For instance, the *circle* command may create a 2d or a 3d circle depending on the number of arguments given.
4369 Likewise, the *translate* command will process points, curves or surfaces, depending on argument type. You may not always find the specific command you are looking for in the section where you expect it to be. In that case, look in another section. The *trim* command, for example, is described in the surface section. It can, nonetheless, be used with curves as well.
4371 @subsection occt_draw_6_2 Curve creation
4373 This section deals with both points and curves. Types of curves are:
4375 * Analytical curves such as lines, circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas.
4376 * Polar curves such as bezier curves and bspline curves.
4377 * Trimmed curves and offset curves made from other curves with the *trim* and *offset* commands. Because they are used on both curves and surfaces, the *trim* and *offset* commands are described in the *surface creation* section.
4378 * NURBS can be created from other curves using *convert* in the *Surface Creation* section.
4379 * Curves can be created from the isoparametric lines of surfaces by the *uiso* and *viso* commands.
4380 * 3d curves can be created from 2d curves and vice versa using the *to3d* and *to2d* commands. The *project* command computes a 2d curve on a 3d surface.
4382 Curves are displayed with an arrow showing the last parameter.
4385 @subsubsection occt_draw_6_2_1 point
4392 Creates a 2d or 3d point, depending on the number of arguments.
4403 @subsubsection occt_draw_6_2_2 line
4407 line name x y [z] dx dy [dz]
4411 Creates a 2d or 3d line. *x y z* are the coordinates of the line’s point of origin; *dx, dy, dz* give the direction vector.
4413 A 2d line will be represented as *x y dx dy*, and a 3d line as *x y z dx dy dz* . A line is parameterized along its length starting from the point of origin along the direction vector. The direction vector is normalized and must not be null. Lines are infinite, even though their representation is not.
4417 # a 2d line at 45 degrees of the X axis
4420 # a 3d line through the point 10 0 0 and parallel to Z
4424 @subsubsection occt_draw_6_2_3 circle
4428 circle name x y [z [dx dy dz]] [ux uy [uz]] radius
4431 Creates a 2d or a 3d circle.
4433 In 2d, *x, y* are the coordinates of the center and *ux, uy* define the vector towards the point of origin of the parameters. By default, this direction is (1,0). The X Axis of the local coordinate system defines the origin of the parameters of the circle. Use another vector than the x axis to change the origin of parameters.
4435 In 3d, *x, y, z* are the coordinates of the center; *dx, dy, dz* give the vector normal to the plane of the circle. By default, this vector is (0,0,1) i.e. the Z axis (it must not be null). *ux, uy, uz* is the direction of the origin; if not given, a default direction will be computed. This vector must neither be null nor parallel to *dx, dy, dz*.
4437 The circle is parameterized by the angle in [0,2*pi] starting from the origin and. Note that the specification of origin direction and plane is the same for all analytical curves and surfaces.

4498 Creates a 2d or 3d conic. The first arguments define the center. The axis system is given by *firstradius*, the major radius, and *secondradius*, the minor radius. Note that the hyperbola has only one branch, that in the X direction.
4500 The Draw hyperbola is parameterized as follows:
4502 P(U) = O + firstradius*Cosh(U)*XDir + secondradius*Sinh(U)*YDir
4506 * *P* is the point of parameter *U*,
4507 * *O, XDir* and *YDir* are respectively the origin, *X Direction* and *YDirection* of its local coordinate system.

4528 Creates a 2d or 3d parabola. in the axis system defined by the first arguments. The origin is the apex of the parabola.
4530 The *Geom_Parabola* is parameterized as follows:

4561 Creates a 3d rational or non-rational Bezier curve. Give the number of poles (control points,) and the coordinates of the poles *(x1 y1 z1 [w1] x2 y2 z2 [w2])*. The degree will be *nbpoles-1*. To create a rational curve, give weights with the poles. You must give weights for all poles or for none. If the weights of all the poles are equal, the curve is polynomial, and therefore non-rational.

4579 pbsplinecurve name degree nbknots knot, umult pole, weight (periodic)
4580 2dpbsplinecurve name degree nbknots knot, umult pole, weight (periodic)
4583 Creates 2d or 3d bspline curves; the **pbsplinecurve** and **2dpbsplinecurve** commands create periodic bspline curves.
4585 A bspline curve is defined by its degree, its periodic or non-periodic nature, a table of knots and a table of poles (i.e. control points). Consequently, specify the degree, the number of knots, and for each knot, the multiplicity, for each pole, the weight. In the syntax above, the commas link the adjacent arguments which they fall between: knot and multiplicities, pole and weight.
4587 The table of knots is an increasing sequence of reals without repetition.
4588 Multiplicities must be lower or equal to the degree of the curve. For non-periodic curves, the first and last multiplicities can be equal to degree+1. For a periodic curve, the first and last multiplicities must be equal.
4590 The poles must be given with their weights, use weights of 1 for a non rational curve, the number of poles must be:
4592 * For a non periodic curve: Sum of multiplicities - degree + 1
4593 * For a periodic curve: Sum of multiplicities - last multiplicity

4616 @subsubsection occt_draw_6_2_9 uiso, viso
4624 Creates a U or V isoparametric curve from a surface.

4638 @subsubsection occt_draw_6_2_10 to3d, to2d
4642 to3d name curve2d [plane]
4643 to2d name curve3d [plane]
4646 Create respectively a 3d curve from a 2d curve and a 2d curve from a 3d curve. The transformation uses a planar surface to define the XY plane in 3d (by default this plane is the default OXYplane). **to3d** always gives a correct result, but as **to2d** is not a projection, it may surprise you. It is always correct if the curve is planar and parallel to the plane of projection. The points defining the curve are projected on the plane. A circle, however, will remain a circle and will not be changed to an ellipse.

4662 @subsubsection occt_draw_6_2_11 project
4666 project name curve3d surface
4669 Computes a 2d curve in the parametric space of a surface corresponding to a 3d curve. This can only be used on analytical surfaces.
4671 If we, for example, intersect a cylinder and a plane and project the resulting ellipse on the cylinder, this will create a 2d sinusoid-like bspline.
4680 @subsection occt_draw_6_3 Surface creation
4682 The following types of surfaces exist:
4683 * Analytical surfaces: plane, cylinder, cone, sphere, torus;
4684 * Polar surfaces: bezier surfaces, bspline surfaces;
4685 * Trimmed and Offset surfaces;
4686 * Surfaces produced by Revolution and Extrusion, created from curves with the *revsurf* and *extsurf*;
4689 Surfaces are displayed with isoparametric lines. To show the parameterization, a small parametric line with a length 1/10 of V is displayed at 1/10 of U.
4691 @subsubsection occt_draw_6_3_1 plane
4695 plane name [x y z [dx dy dz [ux uy uz]]]
4698 Creates an infinite plane.
4700 A plane is the same as a 3d coordinate system, *x,y,z* is the origin, *dx, dy, dz* is the Z direction and *ux, uy, uz* is the X direction.
4702 The plane is perpendicular to Z and X is the U parameter. *dx,dy,dz* and *ux,uy,uz* must not be null or collinear. *ux,uy,uz* will be modified to be orthogonal to *dx,dy,dz*.
4704 There are default values for the coordinate system. If no arguments are given, the global system (0,0,0), (0,0,1), (1,0,0). If only the origin is given, the axes are those given by default(0,0,1), (1,0,0). If the origin and the Z axis are given, the X axis is generated perpendicular to the Z axis.
4706 Note that this definition will be used for all analytical surfaces.

4764 sphere name [x y z [dx dy dz [ux uy uz]]] radius
4767 Creates a sphere in the local coordinate system defined in the **plane** command. The sphere is centered at the origin.

4857 @subsubsection occt_draw_6_3_8 trim, trimu, trimv
4861 trim newname name [u1 u2 [v1 v2]]
4866 The **trim** commands create trimmed curves or trimmed surfaces. Note that trimmed curves and surfaces are classes of the *Geom* package.
4867 * *trim* creates either a new trimmed curve from a curve or a new trimmed surface in u and v from a surface.
4868 * *trimu* creates a u-trimmed surface,
4869 * *trimv* creates a v-trimmed surface.
4871 After an initial trim, a second execution with no parameters given recreates the basis curve. The curves can be either 2d or 3d. If the trimming parameters decrease and if the curve or surface is not periodic, the direction is reversed.
4873 **Note** that a trimmed curve or surface contains a copy of the basis geometry: modifying that will not modify the trimmed geometry. Trimming trimmed geometry will not create multiple levels of trimming. The basis geometry will be used.
4877 # create a 3d circle

4903 @subsubsection occt_draw_6_3_9 offset
4907 offset name basename distance [dx dy dz]
4910 Creates offset curves or surfaces at a given distance from a basis curve or surface. Offset curves and surfaces are classes from the *Geom *package.
4912 The curve can be a 2d or a 3d curve. To compute the offsets for a 3d curve, you must also give a vector *dx,dy,dz*. For a planar curve, this vector is usually the normal to the plane containing the curve.
4914 The offset curve or surface copies the basic geometry, which can be modified later.

4936 Creates a surface of revolution from a 3d curve.
4938 A surface of revolution or revolved surface is obtained by rotating a curve (called the *meridian*) through a complete revolution about an axis (referred to as the *axis of revolution*). The curve and the axis must be in the same plane (the *reference plane* of the surface). Give the point of origin x,y,z and the vector dx,dy,dz to define the axis of revolution.
4940 To parameterize a surface of revolution: u is the angle of rotation around the axis. Its origin is given by the position of the meridian on the surface. v is the parameter of the meridian.

4995 @subsection occt_draw_6_4 Curve and surface modifications
4997 Draw provides commands to modify curves and surfaces, some of them are general, others restricted to bezier curves or bsplines.
4999 General modifications:
5001 * Reversing the parametrization: **reverse**, **ureverse**, **vreverse**
5003 Modifications for both bezier curves and bsplines:
5005 * Exchanging U and V on a surface: **exchuv**
5006 * Segmentation: **segment**, **segsur**
5007 * Increasing the degree: **incdeg**, **incudeg**, **incvdeg**
5008 * Moving poles: **cmovep**, **movep**, **movecolp**, **moverowp**
5010 Modifications for bezier curves:
5012 * Adding and removing poles: **insertpole**, **rempole**, **remcolpole**, **remrowpole**
5014 Modifications for bspline:
5016 * Inserting and removing knots: **insertknot**, **remknot**, **insertuknot**, **remuknot**, **insetvknot**, **remvknot**
5017 * Modifying periodic curves and surfaces: **setperiodic**, **setnotperiodic**, **setorigin**, **setuperiodic**, **setunotperiodic**, **setuorigin**, **setvperiodic**, **setvnotperiodic**, **setvorigin**
5021 @subsubsection occt_draw_6_4_1 reverse, ureverse, vreverse
5027 ureverse surfacename
5028 vreverse surfacename
5031 The **reverse** command reverses the parameterization and inverses the orientation of a 2d or 3d curve. Note that the geometry is modified. To keep the curve or the surface, you must copy it before modification.
5033 **ureverse** or **vreverse** reverse the u or v parameter of a surface. Note that the new parameters of the curve may change according to the type of curve. For instance, they will change sign on a line or stay 0,1 on a bezier.
5035 Reversing a parameter on an analytical surface may create an indirect coordinate system.
5039 # reverse a trimmed 2d circle
5044 # dumping c will show that it is now trimmed between
5045 # 3*pi/2 and 7*pi/4 i.e. 2*pi-pi/2 and 2*pi-pi/4
5048 @subsubsection occt_draw_6_4_2 exchuv

5070 segment curve Ufirst Ulast
5071 segsur surface Ufirst Ulast Vfirst Vlast
5074 **segment** and **segsur** segment a bezier curve and a bspline curve or surface respectively.
5076 These commands modify the curve to restrict it between the new parameters: *Ufirst*, the starting point of the modified curve, and *Ulast*, the end point. *Ufirst* is less than *Ulast*.
5078 This command must not be confused with **trim** which creates a new geometry.

5095 **incudeg** and **incvdeg** increase the degree in the U or V parameter of a bezier or bspline surface.
5099 # make a planar bspline and increase the degree to 2 3
5107 **Note** that the geometry is modified.

5144 remcolpole surfacename index
5145 remrowpole surfacename index
5148 **insertpole** inserts a new pole into a 2d or 3d bezier curve. You may add a weight for the pole. The default value for the weight is 1. The pole is added at the position after that of the index pole. Use an index 0 to insert the new pole before the first one already existing in your drawing.
5150 **rempole** removes a pole from a 2d or 3d bezier curve. Leave at least two poles in the curves.
5152 **remcolpole** and **remrowpole** remove a column or a row of poles from a bezier surface. A column is in the v direction and a row in the u direction The resulting degree must be at least 1; i.e there will be two rows and two columns left.

5169 insertvknot surfacename knot mult
5172 **insertknot** inserts knots in the knot sequence of a bspline curve. You must give a knot value and a target multiplicity. The default multiplicity is 1. If there is already a knot with the given value and a multiplicity lower than the target one, its multiplicity will be raised.
5174 **insertuknot** and **insertvknot** insert knots in a surface.

5189 remknot index [mult] [tol]
5190 remuknot index [mult] [tol]
5191 remvknot index [mult] [tol]
5194 **remknot** removes a knot from the knot sequence of a curve or a surface. Give the index of the knot and optionally, the target multiplicity. If the target multiplicity is not 0, the multiplicity of the knot will be lowered. As the curve may be modified, you are allowed to set a tolerance to control the process. If the tolerance is low, the knot will only be removed if the curve will not be modified.
5196 By default, if no tolerance is given, the knot will always be removed.

5215 setnotperiodic curve
5216 setuperiodic surface
5217 setunotperiodic surface
5218 setvperiodic surface
5219 setvnotperiodic surface
5222 **setperiodic** turns a bspline curve into a periodic bspline curve; the knot vector stays the same and excess poles are truncated. The curve may be modified if it has not been closed. **setnotperiodic** removes the periodicity of a periodic curve. The pole table mau be modified. Note that knots are added at the beginning and the end of the knot vector and the multiplicities are knots set to degree+1 at the start and the end.
5224 **setuperiodic** and **setvperiodic** make the u or the v parameter of bspline surfaces periodic; **setunotperiodic**, and **setvnotperiodic** remove periodicity from the u or the v parameter of bspline surfaces.

5259 @subsubsection occt_draw_6_5_1 translate, dtranslate
5263 translate name [names ...] dx dy dz
5264 2dtranslate name [names ...] dx dy
5267 The **Translate** command translates 3d points, curves and surfaces along a vector *dx,dy,dz*. You can translate more than one object with the same command.
5269 For 2d points or curves, use the **2dtranslate** command.

5321 * **lmirror** is the line mirror commamd, mirroring 3d curves and surfaces about an axis of symmetry.
5322 * **smirror** is the surface mirror, mirroring 3d curves and surfaces about a plane of symmetry. In the last case, the plane of symmetry is perpendicular to dx,dy,dz.
5323 * **2dpmirror** is the point mirror in 2D.
5324 * **2dlmirror** is the axis symmetry mirror in 2D.

5342 pscale name [name ...] x y z s
5343 2dpscale name [name ...] x y s
5346 The **pscale** and **2dpscale** commands transform an object by point scaling. You must give the center and the scaling factor. Because other scalings modify the type of the object, they are not provided. For example, a sphere may be transformed into an ellipsoid. Using a scaling factor of -1 is similar to using **pmirror**.

5680 @subsection occt_draw_6_11 Display
5682 Draw provides commands to control the display of geometric objects. Some display parameters are used for all objects, others are valid for surfaces only, some for bezier and bspline only, and others for bspline only.
5684 On curves and surfaces, you can control the mode of representation with the **dmode** command. You can control the parameters for the mode with the **defle** command and the **discr** command, which control deflection and discretization respectively.
5686 On surfaces, you can control the number of isoparametric curves displayed on the surface with the **nbiso** command.
5688 On bezier and bspline curve and surface you can toggle the display of the control points with the **clpoles** and **shpoles** commands.
5690 On bspline curves and surfaces you can toggle the display of the knots with the **shknots** and **clknots** commands.
5693 @subsubsection occt_draw_6_11_1 dmod, discr, defle
5697 dmode name [name ...] u/d
5698 discr name [name ...] nbintervals
5699 defle name [name ...] deflection
5702 **dmod** command allows choosing the display mode for a curve or a surface.
5704 In mode *u*, or *uniform deflection*, the points are computed to keep the polygon at a distance lower than the deflection of the geometry. The deflection is set with the *defle* command. This mode involves intensive use of computational power.
5706 In *d*, or discretization mode, a fixed number of points is computed. This number is set with the *discr* command. This is the default mode. On a bspline, the fixed number of points is computed for each span of the curve. (A span is the interval between two knots).
5708 If the curve or the isolines seem to present too many angles, you can either increase the discretization or lower the deflection, depending on the mode. This will increase the number of points.
5712 # increment the number of points on a big circle
5720 @subsubsection occt_draw_6_11_2 nbiso

5775 @section occt_draw_7 Topology commands
5777 Draw provides a set of commands to test OCCT Topology libraries. The Draw commands are found in the DRAWEXE executable or in any executable including the BRepTest commands.
5779 Topology defines the relationship between simple geometric entities, which can thus be linked together to represent complex shapes. The type of variable used by Topology in Draw is the shape variable.
5781 The <a href="user_guides__modeling_data.html#occt_modat_5">different topological shapes</a> include:
5783 * **COMPOUND**: A group of any type of topological object.
5784 * **COMPSOLID**: A set of solids connected by their faces. This expands the notions of WIRE and SHELL to solids.
5785 * **SOLID**: A part of space limited by shells. It is three dimensional.
5786 * **SHELL**: A set of faces connected by their edges. A shell can be open or closed.
5787 * **FACE**: In 2d, a plane; in 3d, part of a surface. Its geometry is constrained (trimmed) by contours. It is two dimensional.
5788 * **WIRE**: A set of edges connected by their vertices. It can be open or closed depending on whether the edges are linked or not.
5789 * **EDGE**: A topological element corresponding to a restrained curve. An edge is generally limited by vertices. It has one dimension.
5790 * **VERTEX**: A topological element corresponding to a point. It has a zero dimension.
5792 Shapes are usually shared. **copy** will create a new shape which shares its representation with the original. Nonetheless, two shapes sharing the same topology can be moved independently (see the section on **transformation**).
5794 The following topics are covered in the eight sections of this chapter:
5796 * Basic shape commands to handle the structure of shapes and control the display.
5797 * Curve and surface topology, or methods to create topology from geometry and vice versa.
5798 * Primitive construction commands: box, cylinder, wedge etc.
5799 * Sweeping of shapes.
5800 * Transformations of shapes: translation, copy, etc.
5801 * Topological operations, or booleans.
5802 * Drafting and blending.
5803 * Analysis of shapes.
5806 @subsection occt_draw_7_1 Basic topology
5808 The set of basic commands allows simple operations on shapes, or step-by-step construction of objects. These commands are useful for analysis of shape structure and include:
5810 * **isos** and **discretisation** to control display of shape faces by isoparametric curves .
5811 * **orientation**, **complement** and **invert** to modify topological attributes such as orientation.
5812 * **explode**, **exwire** and **nbshapes** to analyze the structure of a shape.
5813 * **emptycopy**, **add**, **compound** to create shapes by stepwise construction.
5815 In Draw, shapes are displayed using isoparametric curves. There is color coding for the edges:
5817 * a red edge is an isolated edge, which belongs to no faces.
5818 * a green edge is a free boundary edge, which belongs to one face,
5819 * a yellow edge is a shared edge, which belongs to at least two faces.
5822 @subsubsection occt_draw_7_1_1 isos, discretisation
5826 isos [name ...][nbisos]
5827 discretisation nbpoints
5830 Determines or changes the number of isoparametric curves on shapes.
5832 The same number is used for the u and v directions. With no arguments, *isos* prints the current default value. To determine, the number of isos for a shape, give it name as the first argument.
5834 *discretisation* changes the default number of points used to display the curves. The default value is 30.
5838 # Display only the edges (the wireframe)
5842 **Warning**: don’t confuse *isos* and *discretisation* with the geometric commands *nbisos* and *discr*.
5845 @subsubsection occt_draw_7_1_2 orientation, complement, invert, normals, range
5849 orientation name [name ...] F/R/E/I
5850 complement name [name ...]
5852 normals s (length = 10), disp normals
5853 range name value value
5856 * **orientation** -- assigns the orientation of simple and complex shapes to one of the following four values: *FORWARD, REVERSED, INTERNAL, EXTERNAL*.
5857 * **complement** -- changes the current orientation of shapes to its complement: *FORWARD* to *REVERSED* and *INTERNAL* to *EXTERNAL*.
5858 * **invert** -- creates a copy of the original shape with a reversed orientation of all subshapes. For example, it may be useful to reverse the normals of a solid.
5859 * *normals** -- returns the assignment of colors to orientation values.
5860 * **range** -- defines the length of a selected edge by defining the values of a starting point and an end point.
5864 # to invert normals of a box
5870 # to assign a value to an edge
5872 # to define the box as edges
5874 b_1 b_2 b_3 b_4 b_5 b_6 b_7 b_8 b_9 b_10 b_11 b_12

5882 @subsubsection occt_draw_7_1_3 explode, exwire, nbshapes
5886 explode name [C/So/Sh/F/W/E/V]
5891 **explode** extracts subshapes from an entity. The subshapes will be named *name_1*, *name_2*, ... Note that they are not copied but shared with the original.
5893 With name only, **explode** will extract the first sublevel of shapes: the shells of a solid or the edges of a wire, for example. With one argument, **explode** will extract all subshapes of that type: *C* for compounds, *So* for solids, *Sh* for shells, *F* for faces, *W* for wires, *E* for edges, *V* for vertices.
5895 **exwire** is a special case of **explode** for wires, which extracts the edges in an ordered way, if possible. Each edge, for example, is connected to the following one by a vertex.
5897 **nbshapes** counts the number of shapes of each type in an entity.
5904 # whatis returns the type and various information
5906 = b is a shape SOLID FORWARD Free Modified
5911 = b_1 is a shape SHELL FORWARD Modified Orientable
5914 # extract the edges b_1, ... , b_12
5921 Number of shapes in b
5933 @subsubsection occt_draw_7_1_4 emptycopy, add, compound
5937 emptycopy [newname] name
5939 compound [name ...] compoundname
5942 **emptycopy** returns an empty shape with the same orientation, location, and geometry as the target shape, but with no sub-shapes. If the **newname** argument is not given, the new shape is stored with the same name. This command is used to modify a frozen shape. A frozen shape is a shape used by another one. To modify it, you must **emptycopy** it. Its subshape may be reinserted with the **add** command.
5944 **add** inserts shape *C* into shape *S*. Verify that *C* and *S* reference compatible types of objects:
5945 * Any *Shape* can be added to a *Compound*.
5946 * Only a *Solid* can be added to a *CompSolid*.
5947 * Only a *Shell* can *Edge* or a *Vertex* can be added into a *Solid*.
5948 * Only a *Face* can be added to a *Shell*.
5949 * Only a *Wire* and *Vertex* can be added in a *Solid*.
5950 * Only an *Edge* can be added to a *Wire*.
5951 * Only a *Vertex* can be added to an *Edge*.
5952 * Nothing can be added to a *Vertex*.
5954 **emptycopy** and **add** should be used with care.
5956 On the other hand, **compound** is a safe way to achieve a similar result. It creates a compound from shapes. If no shapes are given, the compound is empty.
5960 # a compound with three boxes
5968 @subsubsection occt_draw_7_1_5 compare
5972 compare shape1 shape2
5975 **compare** compares the two shapes *shape1* and *shape2* using the methods *TopoDS_Shape::IsSame()* and *TopoDS_Shape::IsEqual()*.
5991 # shapes are not same
5994 @subsubsection occt_draw_7_1_6 issubshape
5998 issubshape subshape shape
6001 **issubshape** checks if the shape *subshape* is sub-shape of the shape *shape* and gets its index in the shape.
6008 # b_2 is sub-shape of b. Index in the shape: 2.
6012 @subsection occt_draw_7_2 Curve and surface topology
6014 This group of commands is used to create topology from shapes and to extract shapes from geometry.
6016 * To create vertices, use the **vertex** command.
6017 * To create edges use, the **edge**, **mkedge** commands.
6018 * To create wires, use the **wire**, **polyline**, **polyvertex** commands.
6019 * To create faces, use the **mkplane**, **mkface** commands.
6020 * To extract the geometry from edges or faces, use the **mkcurve** and **mkface** commands.
6021 * To extract the 2d curves from edges or faces, use the **pcurve** command.
6024 @subsubsection occt_draw_7_2_1 vertex

6062 * **edge** creates a straight line edge between two vertices.
6063 * **mkedge** generates edges from curves<.Two parameters can be given for the vertices: the first and last parameters of the curve are given by default. Vertices can also be given with their parameters, this option allows blocking the creation of new vertices. If the parameters of the vertices are not given, they are computed by projection on the curve. Instead of a 3d curve, a 2d curve and a surface can be given.
6067 # straight line edge
6072 # make a circular edge
6076 # A similar result may be achieved by trimming the curve
6077 # The trimming is removed by mkedge
6082 * **visoedge** and **uisoedge** are commands that generate a *uiso* parameter edge or a *viso* parameter edge.

6110 **wire** creates a wire from edges or wires. The order of the elements should ensure that the wire is connected, and vertex locations will be compared to detect connection. If the vertices are different, new edges will be created to ensure topological connectivity. The original edge may be copied in the new one.
6112 **polyline** creates a polygonal wire from point coordinates. To make a closed wire, you should give the first point again at the end of the argument list.
6114 **polyvertex** creates a polygonal wire from vertices.

6125 @subsubsection occt_draw_7_2_4 profile
6129 profile name [code values] [code values] ...
6133 **profile** builds a profile in a plane using a moving point and direction. By default, the profile is closed and a face is created. The original point is 0 0, and direction is 1 0 situated in the XY plane.
6136 | **Code** | **Values ** | **Action** |
6137 | :------------ | :------------- | :---------------- |
6138 | O | X Y Z | Sets the origin of the plane |
6139 | P | DX DY DZ UX UY UZ | Sets the normal and X of the plane |

6151 | IX | X | Intersects with vertical |
6152 | IY | Y | Intersects with horizontal |
6153 | C | Radius Angle | Arc of circle tangent to direction |
6156 Codes and values are used to define the next point or change the direction. When the profile changes from a straight line to a curve, a tangent is created. All angles are in degrees and can be negative.
6158 The point [code values] can be repeated any number of times and in any order to create the profile contour.
6162 | No suffix | Makes a closed face |
6163 | W | Make a closed wire |

6461 box name [x y z] dx dy dz
6462 wedge name dx dy dz ltx / xmin zmin xmax xmax
6465 **box** creates a box parallel to the axes with dimensions *dx,dy,dz*. *x,y,z* is the corner of the box. It is the default origin.
6467 **wedge** creates a box with five faces called a wedge. One face is in the OXZ plane, and has dimensions *dx,dz* while the other face is in the plane *y = dy*. This face either has dimensions *ltx, dz* or is bounded by *xmin,zmin,xmax,zmax*.
6469 The other faces are defined between these faces. The face in the *y=yd* plane may be degenerated into a line if *ltx = 0*, or a point if *xmin = xmax* and *ymin = ymax*. In these cases, the line and the point both have 5 faces each. To position the wedge use the *ttranslate* and *trotate* commands.

6497 ptorus name [plane] radius1 radius2 [angle1 angle2] [angle]
6500 All these commands create solid blocks in the default coordinate system, using the Z axis as the axis of revolution and the X axis as the origin of the angles. To use another system, translate and rotate the resulting solid or use a plane as first argument to specify a coordinate system. All primitives have an optional last argument which is an angle expressed in degrees and located on the Z axis, starting from the X axis. The default angle is 360.
6502 **pcylinder** creates a cylindrical block with the given radius and height.
6504 **pcone** creates a truncated cone of the given height with radius1 in the plane z = 0 and radius2 in the plane z = height. Neither radius can be negative, but one of them can be null.
6506 **psphere** creates a solid sphere centered on the origin. If two angles, *angle1* and *angle2*, are given, the solid will be limited by two planes at latitude *angle1* and *angle2*. The angles must be increasing and in the range -90,90.
6508 **ptorus** creates a solid torus with the given radii, centered on the origin, which is a point along the z axis. If two angles increasing in degree in the range 0 -- 360 are given, the solid will be bounded by two planar surfaces at those positions on the circle.

6547 * **prism** -- sweeps along a direction.
6548 * **revol** -- sweeps around an axis.
6549 * **pipe** -- sweeps along a wire.
6550 * **mksweep** and **buildsweep** -- to create sweeps by defining the arguments and algorithms.
6551 * **thrusections** -- creates a sweep from wire in different planes.
6554 @subsubsection occt_draw_7_4_1 prism
6558 prism result base dx dy dz [Copy | Inf | SemiInf]
6561 Creates a new shape by sweeping a shape in a direction. Any shape can be swept: a vertex gives an edge; an edge gives a face; and a face gives a solid.
6563 The shape is swept along the vector *dx dy dz*. The original shape will be shared in the result unless *Copy* is specified. If *Inf* is specified the prism is infinite in both directions. If *SemiInf* is specified the prism is infinite in the *dx,dy,dz* direction, and the length of the vector has no importance.

6689 Transformations are applications of matrices. When the transformation is nondeforming, such as translation or rotation, the object is not copied. The topology localcoordinate system feature is used. The copy can be enforced with the **tcopy** command.
6691 * **tcopy** -- makes a copy of the structure of a shape.

7640 @subsubsection occt_draw_7_11_1 offsetshape, offsetcompshape
7644 offsetshape r shape offset [tol] [face ...]
7645 offsetcompshape r shape offset [face ...]
7648 **offsetshape** and **offsetcompshape** assign a thickness to the edges of a shape. The *offset* value can be negative or positive. This value defines the thickness and direction of the resulting shape. Each face can be removed to create a hollow object.
7650 The resulting shape is based on a calculation of intersections. In case of simple shapes such as a box, only the adjacent intersections are required and you can use the **offsetshape** command.
7652 In case of complex shapes, where intersections can occur from non-adjacent edges and faces, use the **offsetcompshape** command. **comp** indicates complete and requires more time to calculate the result.
7654 The opening between the object interior and exterior is defined by the argument face or faces.

7777 draft result shape dirx diry dirz angle shape/surf/length [-IN/-OUT] [Ri/Ro] [-Internal]
7780 Computes a draft angle surface from a wire. The surface is determined by the draft direction, the inclination of the draft surface, a draft angle, and a limiting distance.
7782 * The draft angle is measured in radians.
7783 * The draft direction is determined by the argument -INTERNAL
7784 * The argument Ri/Ro deftermines wether the corner edges of the draft surfaces are angular or rounded.
7785 * Arguments that can be used to define the surface distance are:
7786 * length, a defined distance
7787 * shape, until the surface contacts a shape
7788 * surface, until the surface contacts a surface.
7790 **Note** that the original aim of adding a draft angle to a shape is to produce a shape which can be removed easily from a mould. The Examples below use larger angles than are used normally and the calculation results returned are not indicated.

8198 Shows the compound of shapes that are images of shape *S* from the argument.
8201 @section occt_draw_8 Data Exchange commands
8203 This chapter presents some general information about Data Exchange (DE) operations.
8205 DE commands are intended for translation files of various formats (IGES,STEP) into OCCT shapes with their attributes (colors, layers etc.)
8207 This files include a number of entities. Each entity has its own number in the file which we call label and denote as # for a STEP file and D for an IGES file. Each file has entities called roots (one or more). A full description of such entities is contained in the Users' Guides
8208 * for <a href="user_guides__step.html#occt_step_1">STEP format</a> and
8209 * for <a href="user_guides__iges.html#occt_iges_1">IGES format</a>.
8211 Each Draw session has an interface model, which is a structure for keeping various information.
8213 The first step of translation is loading information from a file into a model.
8214 The second step is creation of an OpenCASCADE shape from this model.
8216 Each entity from a file has its own number in the model (num). During the translation a map of correspondences between labels(from file) and numbers (from model) is created.
8218 The model and the map are used for working with most of DE commands.
8220 @subsection occt_draw_8_1 IGES commands
8222 @subsubsection occt_draw_8_1_1 igesread
8226 igesread <file_name> <result_shape_name> [<selection>]
8229 Reads an IGES file to an OCCT shape. This command will interactively ask the user to select a set of entities to be converted.
8232 | N | Mode | Description |
8233 | :-- | :-- | :---------- |
8234 | 0 | End | finish conversion and exit igesbrep |
8235 | 1 | Visible roots | convert only visible roots |
8236 | 2 | All roots | convert all roots |
8237 | 3 | One entity | convert entity with number provided by the user |
8238 | 4 | Selection | convert only entities contained in selection |
8241 After the selected set of entities is loaded the user will be asked how loaded entities should be converted into OCCT shapes (e.g., one shape per root or one shape for all the entities). It is also possible to save loaded shapes in files, and to cancel loading.
8243 The second parameter of this command defines the name of the loaded shape. If several shapes are created, they will get indexed names. For instance, if the last parameter was *s*, they will be *s_1, ... s_N*.
8245 <i>\<selection\></i> specifies the scope of selected entities in the model, by default it is *xst-transferrable-roots*. If we use symbol <i>*</i> as <i>\<selection\></i> all roots will be translated.
8247 See also the detailed description of <a href="user_guides__iges.html#occt_iges_2_3_4">Selecting IGES entities</a>.
8251 # translation all roots from file
8252 igesread /disk01/files/model.igs a *
8255 @subsubsection occt_draw_8_1_2 tplosttrim
8259 tplosttrim [<IGES_type>]
8262 Sometimes the trimming contours of IGES faces (i.e., entity 141 for 143, 142 for 144) can be lost during translation due to fails. This command gives us a number of lost trims and the number of corresponding IGES entities.
8263 It outputs the rank and numbers of faces that lost their trims and their numbers for each type (143, 144, 510) and their total number. If a face lost several of its trims it is output only once.
8264 Optional parameter <i>\<IGES_type\></i> can be *0TrimmedSurface, BoundedSurface* or *Face* to specify the only type of IGES faces.
8268 tplosttrim TrimmedSurface
8271 @subsubsection occt_draw_8_1_3 brepiges

8298 @subsubsection occt_draw_8_2_1 stepread
8302 stepread file_name result_shape_name [selection]
8305 Read a STEP file to an OCCT shape.
8306 This command will interactively ask the user to select a set of entities to be converted:
8308 | N | Mode | Description |

8311 | 1 | root with rank 1 | Transfer first root |
8312 | 2 | root by its rank | Transfer root specified by its rank |
8313 | 3 | One entity | Transfer entity with a number provided by the user |
8314 | 4 | Selection | Transfer only entities contained in selection |
8316 After the selected set of entities is loaded the user will be asked how loaded entities should be converted into OCCT shapes.
8317 The second parameter of this command defines the name of the loaded shape. If several shapes are created, they will get indexed names. For instance, if the last parameter was *s*, they will be *s_1, ... s_N*.
8318 <i>\<selection\></i> specifies the scope of selected entities in the model. If we use symbol <i>*</i> as <i>\<selection\></i> all roots will be translated.

8689 @subsection occt_draw_8_4 Overview of XDE commands
8691 These commands are used for translation of IGES and STEP files into an XCAF document (special document is inherited from CAF document and is intended for Extended Data Exchange (XDE) ) and working with it. XDE translation allows reading and writing of shapes with additional attributes -- colors, layers etc. All commands can be divided into the following groups:
8692 * XDE translation commands
8693 * XDE general commands
8694 * XDE shape’s commands
8695 * XDE color’s commands
8696 * XDE layer’s commands

9985 @subsubsection occt_draw_9_2_1 DT_ClosedSplit
9989 DT_ClosedSplit <result> <shape>
9992 Divides all closed faces in the shape (for example cone) and returns result of given shape into shape, which is given as parameter result. Number of faces in resulting shapes will be increased.
9993 Note: A closed face is a face with one or more seam.
10000 @subsubsection occt_draw_9_2_2 DT_ShapeConvert, DT_ShapeConvertRev
10004 DT_ShapeConvert <result> <shape> <convert2d> <convert3d>
10005 DT_ShapeConvertRev <result> <shape> <convert2d> <convert3d>
10008 Both commands are intended for the conversion of 3D, 2D curves to Bezier curves and surfaces to Bezier based surfaces. Parameters convert2d and convert3d take on a value 0 or 1. If the given value is 1, then the conversion will be performed, otherwise it will not be performed. The results are put into the shape, which is given as parameter Result. Command *DT_ShapeConvertRev* differs from *DT_ShapeConvert* by converting all elementary surfaces into surfaces of revolution first.
10012 DT_ShapeConvert r a 1 1
10016 @subsubsection occt_draw_9_2_3 DT_ShapeDivide
10020 DT_ShapeDivide <result> <shape> <tol>
10023 Divides the shape with C1 criterion and returns the result of geometry conversion of a given shape into the shape, which is given as parameter result. This command illustrates how class *ShapeUpgrade_ShapeDivideContinuity* works. This class allows to convert geometry with a continuity less than the specified continuity to geometry with target continuity. If conversion is not possible then the geometrical object is split into several ones, which satisfy the given tolerance. It also returns the status shape splitting:
10024 * OK : no splitting was done
10025 * Done1 : Some edges were split
10026 * Done2 : Surface was split
10027 * Fail1 : Some errors occurred

10035 @subsubsection occt_draw_9_2_4 DT_SplitAngle
10039 DT_SplitAngle <result> <shape> [MaxAngle=95]
10042 Works with all revolved surfaces, like cylinders, surfaces of revolution, etc. This command divides given revolved surfaces into segments so that each resulting segment covers not more than the given *MaxAngle* degrees and puts the result of splitting into the shape, which is given as parameter result. Values of returned status are given above.
10043 This command illustrates how class *ShapeUpgrade_ShapeDivideAngle* works.
10051 @subsubsection occt_draw_9_2_5 DT_SplitCurve
10055 DT_SplitCurve <curve> <tol> <split(0|1)>
10058 Divides the 3d curve with C1 criterion and returns the result of splitting of the given curve into a new curve. If the curve had been divided by segments, then each segment is put to an individual result. This command can correct a given curve at a knot with the given tolerance, if it is impossible, then the given surface is split at that knot. If the last parameter is 1, then 5 knots are added at the given curve, and its surface is split by segments, but this will be performed not for all parametric spaces.
10065 @subsubsection occt_draw_9_2_6 DT_SplitCurve2d
10069 DT_SplitCurve2d Curve Tol Split(0/1)

10079 @subsubsection occt_draw_9_2_7 DT_SplitSurface
10083 DT_SplitSurface <result> <Surface|GridSurf> <tol> <split(0|1)>
10086 Divides surface with C1 criterion and returns the result of splitting of a given surface into surface, which is given as parameter result. If the surface has been divided into segments, then each segment is put to an individual result. This command can correct a given C0 surface at a knot with a given tolerance, if it is impossible, then the given surface is split at that knot. If the last parameter is 1, then 5 knots are added to the given surface, and its surface is split by segments, but this will be performed not for all parametric spaces.

10160 Draw[10]> set vec1 [vec 12 28 99 12 58 99]
10162 Draw[13]> set vec2 [vec 12 28 99 16 21 89]

10656 @section occt_draw_11 Extending Test Harness with custom commands
10659 The following chapters explain how to extend Test Harness with custom commands and how to activate them using a plug-in mechanism.
10662 @subsection occt_draw_11_1 Custom command implementation
10664 Custom command implementation has not undergone any changes since the introduction of the plug-in mechanism. The syntax of every command should still be like in the following example.
10668 static Standard_Integer myadvcurve(Draw_Interpretor& di, Standard_Integer n, char** a)
10674 For examples of existing commands refer to Open CASCADE Technology (e.g. GeomliteTest.cxx).
10677 @subsection occt_draw_11_2 Registration of commands in Test Harness
10679 To become available in the Test Harness the custom command must be registered in it. This should be done as follows.
10683 void MyPack::CurveCommands(Draw_Interpretor& theCommands)
10686 char* g = "Advanced curves creation";
10688 theCommands.Add ( "myadvcurve", "myadvcurve name p1 p2 p3 - Creates my advanced curve from points",
10689 __FILE__, myadvcurve, g );
10694 @subsection occt_draw_11_3 Creating a toolkit (library) as a plug-in
10696 All custom commands are compiled and linked into a dynamic library (.dll on Windows, or .so on Unix/Linux). To make Test Harness recognize it as a plug-in it must respect certain conventions. Namely, it must export function *PLUGINFACTORY()* accepting the Test Harness interpreter object (*Draw_Interpretor*). This function will be called when the library is dynamically loaded during the Test Harness session.
10698 This exported function *PLUGINFACTORY()* must be implemented only once per library.
10700 For convenience the *DPLUGIN* macro (defined in the *Draw_PluginMacro.hxx* file) has been provided. It implements the *PLUGINFACTORY()* function as a call to the *Package::Factory()* method and accepts *Package* as an argument. Respectively, this *Package::Factory()* method must be implemented in the library and activate all implemented commands.
10704 #include <Draw_PluginMacro.hxx>
10706 void MyPack::Factory(Draw_Interpretor& theDI)
10710 MyPack::CurveCommands(theDI);
10714 // Declare entry point PLUGINFACTORY
10718 @subsection occt_draw_11_4 Creation of the plug-in resource file
10720 As mentioned above, the plug-in resource file must be compliant with Open CASCADE Technology requirements (see *Resource_Manager.hxx* file for details). In particular, it should contain keys separated from their values by a colon (;:;).
10721 For every created plug-in there must be a key. For better readability and comprehension it is recommended to have some meaningful name.
10722 Thus, the resource file must contain a line mapping this name (key) to the library name. The latter should be without file extension (.dll on Windows, .so on Unix/Linux) and without the ;lib; prefix on Unix/Linux.
10723 For several plug-ins one resource file can be created. In such case, keys denoting plug-ins can be combined into groups, these groups -- into their groups and so on (thereby creating some hierarchy). Any new parent key must have its value as a sequence of child keys separated by spaces, tabs or commas. Keys should form a tree without cyclic dependencies.
10725 **Examples** (file MyDrawPlugin):
10727 ! Hierarchy of plug-ins
10728 ALL : ADVMODELING, MESHING
10730 ADVMODELING : ADVSURF, ADVCURV
10732 ! Mapping from naming to toolkits (libraries)
10733 ADVSURF : TKMyAdvSurf
10734 ADVCURV : TKMyAdvCurv
10738 For other examples of the plug-in resource file refer to the @ref occt_draw_1_3_2 "Plug-in resource file" chapter above or to the <i>$CASROOT/src/DrawPlugin</i> file shipped with Open CASCADE Technology.
10741 @subsection occt_draw_11_5 Dynamic loading and activation
10743 Loading a plug-in and activating its commands is described in the @ref occt_draw_1_3_3 "Activation of the commands implemented in the plug-in" chapter.
10745 The procedure consists in defining the system variables and using the *pload* commands in the Test Harness session.
10749 Draw[]> set env(CSF_MyDrawPluginDefaults) /users/test
10750 Draw[]> pload -MyDrawPlugin ALL
