NURBS-Python (geomdl)

RTD PYPI PYPIDL

Introduction

NURBS-Python (geomdl) is a pure Python, self-contained, object-oriented B-Spline and NURBS spline library.

Features

NURBS-Python (geomdl) provides convenient data structures and highly customizable API for rational and non-rational splines along with the efficient and extensible implementations of the following algorithms:

  • Spline evaluation
  • Derivative evaluation
  • Knot insertion
  • Knot removal
  • Knot vector refinement
  • Degree elevation
  • Degree reduction
  • Curve and surface fitting via interpolation and least squares approximation

NURBS-Python (geomdl) also provides customizable visualization and animation options via Matplotlib, Plotly and VTK libraries. Please refer to the documentation for more details.
